Such remarks usually come about when James fails to make a buzzer-beater or because of his four NBA Finals defeats. However, when James connected in Game 4 of the 2015 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Chicago Bulls, it marked the third time in the last decade that he had scored 25 or more points AND hit the game-winner in a postseason matchup.
Focusing back on Game 7 against Golden State, it was James who forcefully drove for what would have been a game-clinching dunk. In the process of being fouled, he nearly broke his arm in the subsequent fall, but still managed to split his two free throws, providing enough breathing room to hand the Cavaliers the title.
