I'm glad you posted this. People who make this argument demonstrate they have the Basketball IQ of salad dressing. There can never be made an intelligent argument for taking a forced bad shot over passing to a wide open teammate, especially in the NBA. Doing so isn't an indication of cowardice. People happily overlook the fact that MJ frequently passed to open teammates (or deferred) when the game was on the line. The only difference is that Steve Kerr and John Paxon frequently MADE their shots, as opposed to Mo Williams and Wally Sczcerbiak who didn't. For every one MJ over Ehli or Russle there is one Paxon or Kerr for 3. That doesn't diminish Jordan as a player, nor does finding a wide open player in the fourth Q diminish LBJ.
Ha, yeah, Jordan passed. lulz. You are funny. I think I can remember one game winner someone on the Bulls other than Jordan made. Lebron, as you state, can score at will. He proved such in nearly every game in the Magic series. Then, when things didn't go his way, he passed and let people like you say "his teammates suck". Paxson and Kerr probably *combined* didn't make as many threes as Mo Williams.
