I think he absolutely was too unselfish in 2011. I don't think the "big moment" was the problem. He didn't take nearly enough shots, because he was expecting Wade to be the primary scorer. Even if he was "overwhelmed and simply not ready," those things are not mutually exclusive. Both things can be true. He took eleven shots in all of game 4 (a game I was at by the way.) Overwhelmed or not, that is by definition too unselfish.
Either way, again, there's no evidence anywhere in his career to suggest that he would refuse to be a 2nd or 3rd option on a team. Indeed, I think he has wanted exactly that for years. I think he would be overjoyed to not
have to be the first option for once.
