Everyone superstar who hasn't won a title catches hell. I personally don't see the difference between Bron passing it to Donyell Marshall for the game-winning 3 and MJ passing it to Steve Kerr except the latter made it. Unfortunately it's the price you pay for being an icon.
a couple things - first, Bron hasn't shown the late game ability ot actually FINISH games like MJ did early in his career to go with the passing. Second, how many times did you see MJ pass that ball when his team was actually DOWN in the game and got right to the rack like Bron did? Kerr got that wide-open 15 footer (a much easier shot than a 3 from a complete has-been) in a tie game where if he missed, he missed, but they were still going to OT, whereas if Marshall missed, the game was over - period. But even with that said, to be honest, I didn't have that much of a problem with the pass in Game 1 - on the road, down 2 with seconds left, and a guy is THAT open, you go for the kill, especially against a team that is really better than you.
however, Bron just isn't being aggressive in this series and he's settling for either jumpers or nothing at all and that doesn't make sense. It's completely different from the player he was a year ago in the playoffs when the guy just attacked everything that came at him. It seems like his entire game this year has regressed in that area though.
