I know you said pressure, you mentioned confidence issues too. Lebron has never been short on confidence. He knows he's good- he was confident enough to claim he would win not 1, not 2....etc. championships. He has that chamionship swagger and the statements he has made throughout his career back up a supreme confidence level.
Actually I'd say they aren't disconnected from one another. The mounting pressure to win championships as the seasons go on is slowly eroding his confidence. He can talk all he wants, you have to go out and perform. I saw anything but a confident man in last season's finals. So he can boast about winning 100 championships, it's a lot of talk that hasn't been backed up when the pressure gets too intense( 2007 and 2011 finals, 2010 playoffs versus Boston). Right now he's a regular season juggernaut with a few stellar playoff performances, but when things get too tough he hasn't proven to me that he's as mentally tough as some of the greats he's often compared with( Jordan, Bird, Magic, etc).....
If *coincidence* strikes again, home team wins tonight's game 6. If Lebron's postseason history is taken into account, it'll be very difficult for him to win when trailing 2-3. So really, I don't know. What I do know is I'll be rooting for the WCF winner in the Finals.

I hope Lebron gets the critics off his back on Saturday Night with another ginormous game.
It took Jordan 6 years to get his rings-----I dont know if the Heat can knock OK City off----but for Lebrons sake, I hope he gets the opportunity.
