Lebron James, the "King" of Buzzer Beaters

 

Buzzer beaters are THE most exciting moments in basketball. We've seen it happen many times, always from the edge of our seats, as the clock runs out. It takes great skill, and maybe a little luck.

It takes guts to be the player to take the shot - the game is ultimately in your hands. LeBron James seems to be very comfortable with the responsibility.

Most recently, James sank a last-second three-pointer, giving his team the win against the Warriors, 111-110.

In the 2013 playoffs against the Pacers, James decided to drive the lane and seal Game 1 with a layup as time expired. The series went to the full seven games, after which the Heat advanced to (and then won) the championship.

Even before James made the switch to the Heat, he was draining buzzer beaters. In this clip, James ended the third quarter of a blowout against Chicago with a very deep three for the Cavaliers. It wasn't for the win, but it was still just as exciting.

LeBron continues to surprise fans with his practice dunks, his abilities on the court, and his thrilling buzzer beaters in the clutch. You have to take the shot to make the shot, and James doesn't shy away from the pressure.
