if he can do it so easy, why on earth did he let jason terry COME OFF THE BENCH and AVERAGE more points than him in the finals? why did he have an 8 point game in the finals if this is something he can do at will?

getting 37 high percentage shots is not that easy

:manny: LeBron obviously wasn't himself that series. I don't know why you'd probably have to ask him yourself.

But that doesn't matter since that was an outlier for his career and he's been absolutely dominant ever since. :yeshrug:

true

but anybody who understands basketball knows that you can just say "well hes getting 30 points off 18.5 shots so if you multiply both number by 2 he's getting 60" :dead:

to get up 37 shots hes gonna take a lot of jumpers, which means his ratio of ft attempts to shot attempts will drop, and that's gonna lower his points per attempt

he took 36 shots vs the raptors and ended up with 56............and that was with him hitting 6 3's and going 14/15 from the line

it's not that easy bruh

BRon needs to go off one day and attempt to shatter the GAWD's 81 point outing. :banderas: the threads we would get on here

pretty much. It's why I was annoyed seeing him say it was so easy. If it is then do it or don't speak on it being easy.

Who's saying he couldn't?

The point is why did he even say this when he more than likely won't do it? Plus he wouldn't have the same %s if he were to attempt a 60, 70 point game, so you can't be applying that logic.
Why you bytching about it nikka damn

This is why I can't have Lebron in my discussions of the greatest of the greats. He's always on some "I could do it if I wanted to". Well, do it then. If you love the game, you want to see him do some ish you've never seen before, something that makes him stand apart from the rest. We don't want to see sh!t that we've seen numerous times, but this time only coming from a player at his speed/power/size.

Drop 60 then. Drop 40, 50, 60. Average a triple double, hell average 10 assists since you love passing, or take Skiles record. Get a quadruple double like Dream

Shooting 61% from the field, 37 shots put him at about 45 points on field goals alone. Say he were to meet his averages on 3 pointers and free throws then he's easily in the neighborhood of 60 points. Let the usual crybabies do their thing

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.

As much as we want to see it... I just know Lebron is just too unselfish :yeshrug:

As for the statement


The man was asked a question, he gave them a confident answer. :manny:

You guys grill cowardly responses by players like that Dwight Howard thread.

But when a player gives confident responses you get bitter.

Wtf do you want him to say?

And I bet IF Lebron fukks around and scores 101 points the back slash will still continue. (:whoa: just a hypothetical statement)

I don't think anyone is saying it like that, he would obviously have some struggle games mixed in there if he tried to volume shoot and force shyt. He would also have some nights where he's on and he's unstoppable. Give him a string of games of shooting 35-40 times and I guarantee he will have a few ridiculous nights in there. David Robinson singlehandedly proved why individual game scoring peaks aren't that meaningful. Guy averages like 30 pts a game and when he decides to turn it on one game, he scored 70 with ease.
