Reigning MVP of the NBA Lebron James was visibly irritated when informed about the result of a poll in ESPN.

The respondents were 26 of Lebron's peers. Players he meets on the court. The question: Who would you want to take the final shot in a game? The choices were Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.

The results: Michael Jordan got 88%. Kobe Bryant got the other 12%. Nobody picked Lebron James.

James was interviewed by ESPN during a workout: "Players in our league said that? All right. I really don't care what 30 guys in our league say about me taking the last shot. I've got a few game winners in my career. I don't let teams hang around too much for the last shot. I don't think the definition of clutch is who takes the last shot. There are guys who come through for their teams in different circumstances."

"That was a big shot but people forget about it because I made it. And I got the steal on the way down on the next play, too."

The question asked about taking the shot. Lebron has other skills. "I'd want the ball in LeBron's hands at the end of the game, but I'd want him to pass to Kobe or Jordan for the last shot," an Eastern Conference guard told ESPN the Magazine. "And don't forget, LeBron is not a great free throw shooter, either."

"I want the ball in my hands, I'm going to make the play that's best for our team," James said. "I'm not always going to succeed obviously. I had a few turnovers in Game 6 (of the Finals) and I had a few turnovers in Game 2 (on the conference finals) against Indiana but I want it in my hands."
