LeBron: "If I get 37 shots in a game, I'm going to put up 60, 70. Easy."

If it comes with 15 rebounds and getting to the line 15 times, in a game where the FG % was under 40 for both teams, I'm taking 6 for 24.
That makes zero sense. If you want your stat sheet to look pretty and your team is winning for the most part I don't see what's wrong with it. However, if everyone else is struggling and you need to carry the team, then by all means shoot until your arms fall off. But who the hell goes out every single night saying oh I'm gonna do what I want regardless of what my stat sheet looks like?

LOL Lebron and Durant have admitted to not taking shots to protect their FG % and there is this...

Honest question, how many times have you seen Kobe try to juke someone to get open for a full court heave at the end of a quarter? He stands off to the side and lets other players take those percentage killers.

All players are cognizant of their fg%, even Kobe. There are two main approaches to a bad shooting night, trying to gun and shoot yourself out of it, or realizing its not your night and looking for hotter shooting teammates. Wade and LeBron were saying they're in the latter.

do you guys even watch the games or just read box scores?

Bron's shooting 60% because he's not taking "difficult" shots. He's getting most of his points in the paint, off transition, or open shots on catch and shoots. You can't extrapolate his fg% when he's taking these types of shots to the amount of shots needed to get 60-70 points. He ain't getting 60-70 points off layups, dunks, or open 3s. He's gonna need to hit ALOT of contested shots. And as a result his fg% will drop.

I don't think he has the shooting ability to hit contested shots to score 60-70 points. If he did, then Pop wouldn't have had Diaw playing like ten feet off him daring him to shoot.

Let us know when they add the "difficult shot" fg% to the official stat sheet

These stupid nikkas in here acting like its a bad thing he involves his teammates.

Like its bad that he's a beast driving in the paint or in transitions.

If y'all want dude to take stupid contested shots just for your enjoyment then it's best y'all Stan a lesser player.

I'm glad y'all retards don't like him. The Kings game is for sophisticated basketball fans.

What's the point though? Stats are meaningless if they are forced.
Didn't I previously say that folk with reason don't really care about if he does/doesn't have one on his resume?

If you wanna take that angle, then a certain portion of his stats are meaningless too - there's lil difference him protecting his FG%, getting boards and assists to balance out the box score than there is with him going out there looking to score 90% of the game.
