On Friday, Lebron James hit a clutch game-winning 3-pointer to beat the Orlando Magic. Analysts are hailing this as one of the most clutch shots in recent NBA history. Many are also mentioning his name with Kobe, MJ, and Larry Bird as the greatest "closers" in NBA history.

He hit a great shot, no doubt about it. And he performance gets better and better every season. But is he really a great "closer"? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Lebron is not a closer. He said it himself, at the end of the game he is willing to pass the ball because he is trying to get the best shot for the team. Hedo Turkoglu is a better closer than Lebron! Beyond Kobe and Wade nobody in the league seems to welcome the big shot like Turkoglu. Even though he is not the best player on his team, there is no doubt who is taking the "shot".

I would definitely agree with you. Even Paul Pierce is a better closer than LeBron. And let's not forget Robert Horry, "Big Shot Rob."
