If defenders letting him shoot then why would he need a move? And why his defenders challenging his shot in most of those clips?

LBJ putting up over 6 threes a game and shooting the same % as Harden and Beal (35%), nearly as good as Trae, Booker, and Kawhi (36%), a little better than AD (33.5%) and way better than Giannis, Doncic, and Westbrook (25-31%). You look at the top-10 scorers this year and the ONLY one shooting significantly higher from three is Dame (39%). And this ain't even a good year for him recently, he shot even better in '12, '13, '14, '15, '17, and '18. It's definitely an effective shot.

Not in the playoffs it won’t be (unless he’s playing the raptors).

Lebrons been shooting better recently because lack of pressure situations, team expectations and overall his game evolving to be a perimeter type player.

A lot of the nba are volume shooters who hit 3s in rhythm and without a hand up or ball pressure but will not hit a spot up 3 in the conference finals with the game on the line

You can't be talking this ignorantly. :wtf:

LeBron shot 36.5% from three in the playoffs the last three seasons, that's BETTER than his regular season average.

Finals? Even better, he's 31-74 (42%) in the last three Finals despite being guarded by the best array of elite perimeter defenders in the NBA (Iggy, Klay, Dray, KD).

And you think he can't hit in pressure situations? You completely ignorant of basketball? This is the MOST RECENT postseason he was in:







Game-winning 3pt in Game 5 against the Pacers. 2-3 from 3pt in Game 7 against the Pacers. 5-7 from 3pt in Game 6 against the Celtics when they were down 3 games to 2. 3-8 from 3pt in Game 7 against the Celtics. He's been playoff clutch from three for years now. In 2016 after they went down 3-1 to the Warriors, he went 4-8 and 3-6 from three in the next two games, then when they were down with 5 minutes left in Game 7 he hit the 3pt that gave the Cavs the lead (the last points they would score until Kyrie's three). fukking lit up the Spurs in Game 7 in 2013, going 5-10 from three for the game with Kawhi on him the whole time.

Talking like LeBron can't shoot threes in the clutch just ignorant shyt. Outside of 2015 (when he shot bad from three all year due to back issues and had to carry the entire offense in the playoffs with Kyrie/Love out), he's been a very good 3pt shooter in every situation for 8 years and counting.

I’m sure @DoubleClutch will come up with a logical explanation and response to these facts.

Bron's entire game is unappealing.

Its one of biggest reasons I'm sure his stans don't love basketball. Its hard for me to ever imagine I would stan an athlete who doesn't have a beautiful style of play.
Are you a stan? Cause that's what I was alluding to. I respect LeBron as a basketball player. I'll watch him play when its a big game. But I can't bring myself to stan him cause his game simply doesn't have the same appeal guys like Kobe, Jordan, T-Mac, Iverson, Vince, and Wade had to me. I can go to YouTube and watch highlights of those guys for days. I can't do that with LeBron. His highlights simply don't have the same appeal.

And this isn't to single out LeBron. Almost all NBA players have unappealing/ugly games. Duncan was boring to watch. Same with Dirk and most other bigs. I personally hate the style of play of a Steph Curry. KD for as skilled as he is doesn't appeal much to me either. Same goes for Russell Westbrook eventhough I love watching him in the open court. James Harden has arguably the ugliest game of any NBA player I've ever seen. And so on. Bron isn't alone. What's rare in today's NBA is players with beautiful games. The only guy whose game I consider appealing is Kyrie. And even he doesn't play with the sort of elite athleticism the guys I named earlier played with so he's not exactly must watch TV to me. Ugly styles of play are what is common in today's NBA.
Dirk style was always fun to watch lmao, you are just a weird dude who thinks every player has to have some mixture of athleticism/skill to be appealinv

Lack of pressure and team expectations= oxymoron
