You're taking this way too personally. Just because I think it was a bad decision doesn't mean I despise the ground LeBron James walks on and hope he's doomed to a career of failure. You're going a little overboard with the "everyone has a vendetta against LeBron" stuff. Saying he made a bad decision isn't akin to spitting in his face and calling his momma a fatass.

The most current, up-to-date statistics on Haslem say he's more than likely to miss a shot from that spot on the floor. He proceeded to miss that shot, despite it being "wide open" and uncontested. What part of this is not computing for you?

It wasn't 15 feet,it was about 18 feet, and if they're both "good basketball plays" then I'll take the "good basketball play" that involves the best player in the game getting the last shot any day of the week.
