Lebron 25 points in 1st qtr

[Cerebral Labyrinth]

Why are you putting words in my mouth? I SAID IT IS FUNNY THAT HIS JUMPER IS ASS. When did I say shooting 60% or taking smart shots is funny?

Never in my life have I heard someone that shoots 41% from 3 for a full season be mocked as "his jumper is ass". People on this forum sometimes...

That's my point tho, lebron is fuxkin huge! So it shouldn't be surprising

You don't understand why the fact that Lebron combined the best attributes of an elite perimeter player and an elite big man is unheard of?

Most big men can't handle the ball, pass, and shoot like Lebron. Most perimeter players can't dominate the paint and finish around the rim like Lebron.

Despite what you may think, getting into the lane and finishing like Lebron does, at the volume he does, isn't easy especially when you consider teams gear their entire defensive scheme to stop him from getting into the paint.

Lebron's efficiency is amazing because you very rarely find people who can consistently score the amount he does and at the efficiency he does.

He shot 40% and his career average is 34%. That is just a fluke or outlier.

The point is that he lives in the paint and that can't be refuted.

 

[madness]

most players wish they had a jumper that was this "ass"

When did I say I want him to satisfy me?

All I'm saying is that his jumper is ass and it is funny

What's comedy gold is you trying to make shyt up when arguing with people

That was Lebron's percentages last year. Lebron does not have an average jumper. He has an above average jumper, he's just far better at the 3 and in the lane.

In the same way that Jordan was only an average 3 point shooter, Lebron is probably an okay shooter from mid-range but he's godly in the paint and great from the 3. Jordan is godly from mid and great in the paint.

Lebron doesn't focus on midrange because they're typically the least efficient shot in basketball.

Kobe averages 34% on 3.9 3PA over his entire career. Same as Lebron.

And with that u get a neg u LWO faq

JVG says it all the time. He'd rather have a guy finish strong than have a guy who starts hot and fizzles out.

I've seen him better than these last 7 games.

so what about a player that starts off weak, finishes strong and they still get the L

Why you catching feelings? Dat anger

When was I talking about Kobe at all? How is that relevant to the convo?

The difference between Kobe and Bron is that Bron takes smart shots and Kobe takes dumb fadeaways over 3 defenders. That still does not mean Lebron's jumper is not suspect, especially when you consider that most of his 50% jumpers are within the free throw line.

How is Lebron still shooting the same career average from downtown as player that takes some of the dumbest and most difficult shots in nba history?

Because he's intelligent and a smart shooter?

He takes the same amount of 3 pointer shots over his career that Kobe does. So you're arguing that Lebron's jumper is ass because he makes the same amount on the same amount of tries as Kobe Bryant?

Picking smart jumpers is a facet of shooting ability.

thats basketball IQ

Im starting to think some of you guys don't even like basketball

I'm convinced yall only watch games to troll on the internet.

So you'd take Jamal Crawford's ability to hit crazy and contested shots over something like Steve Nash?

The ability to recognize when space was created and knock down jumpers at opportune times is a measure of shooting ability.

So Lebron's jumper is broken to the point of only being compared to one of the elite shooters of all time and even better than the greatest player ever (At knocking down the 3).?

Only could Lebron average just as many 3PA attempts as Kobe Fukkin Bryant and get told that he only attacks in the paint and his ability to knock down the jumper is trash
