In his defining NBA season, the Miami Heat superstar keeps missing game-winning shots and failing to step up as a team leader. A lifetime of being idolized has made LeBron James psychologically soft, writes Buzz Bissinger.
The biggest problem facing LeBron James isn't whether or not he cried in the Miami Heat's loss Sunday to the Chicago Bulls after missing a game-winning layup. It isn't that the supposedly seamless mesh between James and Dwyane Wade has become a confusing mush in which the only solution may be to let the Heat play offense with two balls so both can shoot whenever they want. It isn't the fact that the Heat are shooting 1-for-18 in the final 10 seconds to win or tie a game.

James' problem is far more overreaching than all of that.
