" Think back to the Finals failures that stand out most.

The LeBron James step-back jumper from the baseline when all that stood between him and the basket was a 6-4 Jason Kidd.

LeBron's awkward post-up attempt against the even smaller J.J. Barea that resulted in an offensive foul.

Go back even farther to the regular-season failures in game-winning situations.

The swatted attempt against Amare Stoudemire and the Knicks. LeBron's difficult lefty layup attempt over Joakim Noah in the torturous loss to the Bulls.

Nothing about those moments looked comfortable for LeBron.

He's among the most intimidating presences in the league, with maybe only Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin even comparable, and yet in the most meaningful of moments and in the most meaningful of games, LeBron couldn't find a way to use that to his advantage."
