Actually, if you watch the tape, Lebron gets by Prince and Rasheed actually backs off since he doesn't want to foul and risk the three point play. I don't care who's in his way, I've seen him go over every great defender in the NBA. Lebron is one of the strongest players in the NBA and could have easily dunked on that play. I've always thought that a dunk/layup should be taken instead of a jump shot. Especially if you're only down by 2. It was a good pass IF he didn't have a wide open 2. The percentage of him driving hard and scoring is much much better than Donyell's 3-point percentage.

And you know what, if that shot had gone down Lebron would still be criticized because he didn't show up at all in the fourth. He had 2 points. How can you be a franchise player if your team can't count on you in crunch time? The Pistons played horribly in that game and honestly Cleveland should've taken it. The game really shouldn't have even been close. Until Lebron stops missing key free throws and continues to lack the ability to carry his team on his back in the waning minutes of a game, he'll continue to get criticized. It's his third year in the NBA and he's already proven he has the talent to be the go-to guy, he just needs to back it up with 4th quarter performance. I really can't see this series going above 5 games IF that.
