LeBron is the King of Game 7’s.
James was magnificent once again. He continues to save his best performances for the most important games.
LeBron was fantastic Sunday afternoon for Game 7, but this is something he’s done many times. With the win, LeBron is now 5-2 in Game 7’s, having won five straight times. The last time he lost in Game 7 was ten years ago.
Here are the stats for the last six Game 7's LeBron James has played:

No matter what narrative you want to spin, the numbers speak for themselves. LeBron plays his best when everything is on the line. If that isn’t clutch than I’m not sure what is.
LeBron now holds the following playoff records, all time:
