Skip Bayless's characterization of the play is factually wrong in key ways. LeBron did not pass to George Hill out of a lack of clutch willingness — he drove baseline, drew a double team, and found a cutting Hill who was then fouled by Klay Thompson, sending Hill to the free-throw line with 4.7 seconds left. There was no open 17-foot jumper that LeBron shied away from; he made a tactically correct pass to an open teammate who was an 80% free-throw shooter, which virtually every analyst (including ESPN's oral history and Sports Illustrated) described as 'the right play.' Additionally, LeBron's broader clutch record — the most game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 30 seconds of playoff games since 1997, with more than twice as many as any other star — directly contradicts the 'no clutch gene' narrative.
