LeBron throwing darts at KD and other high-volume chuckers

[Swagnificent]

This dude Lebron does not have a polished enough offensive game to put up 20-30 shots a game and keep up that FG %. There is no way that he can put up significantly better numbers than more offensively gifted players like Durant and Kobe (in his prime) if he took more shots. Lebron is fortunate to have Wade and Bosh because if he didn't, he would get exposed in terms of FG %. This 'what if' fool needs to check himself and fall back.

this is what I've been saying

LeBron shooting 60% cause he's playing like Shaq now. He's only taking shots in the paint. And the rare outside shot he takes is completely wide open. He refuses to take any contested shots. If your gonna take 25-30 shots a game, instead of 15, you gonna need to take contested shots. LeBron has not shown the ability to make contested outside shots like many of the great scorers in this league (KD, Melo, Kobe, etc.)

Just look at how his fg% plummets in the playoffs when defenses pack the paint and force him to shoot jumpers.

lebron. He's the reason KD is now the biggest stat padder in the league. hes so stat obsessed its crazy, and its rubbed off on KD. This guy clearly stat pads to get his FG where its at today. No way a perimeter player will shoot 59% playing a normal game. he's taken jump shots almost entirely out of his game and he's always way too passive

I don't care about stat padding. Players have always done that. But back in the day nikkas was stat padding by trying to score 50 points and shyt. Now its shooting 50%

what has the league come to

 

[Swagnificent]

Durant scoring near 30ppg and nobody gives a fukk

thats cause his team went from having the best record in the league to .500 after the REAL MVP of the Thunder got hurt

now we know this is Russ's team and they'll only go as far as he leads em

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

what a weird generation of players this is

I don't ever remember fg% being brought up in the early 2000s. Now it seems like its the only stat most nikkas wanna cite.

How about rings?

I think he's got the last two of those also.

Seum's WOAT

 

[Swagnificent]

Smart players? How is scoring the most points possible on the least amount of shots a bad thing?

What's better 31 points on 14 shots or 41 points on 27 shots?

winning. thats what better. if it takes 27 shots to win then that is better. fukk this talk about efficiency in a vacuum.

FYI since 2000, only ONE team has led the league in FG% and won the title. That was last year's Heat (who by the way got lucky with that Ray Allen 3 in game 6). For the last 13 years, most of the champions have been outside the top 3. With the 2004 Pistons being 19th in the league in FG%.

So I say, what is efficiency good for if you don't win?

you see I got no problem with that. cause the point of playing is to win. its the reason why I give the nikka his due.

 

[FTBS]

Did my team win on my 31 pts from 14 attempts? If not, maybe I should have sho 27 shots.

There is no room in between 14 and 27 attempts?

Dont the Heat have the 3rd or 4th best record in the L coming off two titles?

But he is winning.

And shooting 60% in the process.

And how is Ray Allen, the all time 3 point leader in regular season and playoffs, hitting a 3 "lucky"? That's Ray Allen. That's what he does. I could see if Joel Anthony hit the shot. That would be luck. If Ray Allen missed the shot, that would be more lucky than him hitting it. It's Ray fukkin Allen.

Bron steady shytting on his peers. You can tell he does not look at these dudes as being on his level.

no. I think you misread it. bron ain't sending shots at no one. he's just acknowledging that the way he plays in BORING. He wishes he could hoist up a ton of shots. shyt everyone whose ever played ball knows this. Its alot more fun to shoot than do anything else on the court. Bron is just p*ssy and scared of criticism. He thinks if he shoots a high % and gets a ton of assists it can deflect criticism from him. We all know he's very self-conscious about people not liking him. Guys like Kobe don't give a fukk what others think and relish the hate.

Miami fans really need to worry about this more than a Durant, because Lebron is on a team with 2 other superstars he can't his full stamps on games, the ego in him wish he can operate without a flabby n sick wade, and Bosh to a lesser degree, a part of him may also worry about how his legacy will be viewed, when Jordan was the man, that talent gap was evident, andd the same with Kobe, being stuck in Miami Lebron can't truly seperate himself from his peers because he has to play in the team concept, and truth be told Miami is great but not dominate they have got fortunate matchups the last 3 playoffs and stumbled and struggle vs beat up teams along the way, they aint dominating like the bulls dominated nor as much as kobe/shaq's lakers, the rings is a non factor for Lebron at this point, he seems to be thinking big picture and legacy. As a basketball fan this is why hated the bytch ass big 3 move, Lebron could very easily be averaging 40 ppg, I at least want to get the chance to see that before his prime is finished, the ego in Lebron wants this also...............


There's a chance Lebron could leave Miami for this very reason, and as Stephen a Smith said yesterday from what he hear there is more than a 50% chance he returns home to Cleveland, he left because the competition was too fierce and he felt he couldnt do it by himself, he now understands that he is the king, the league is diminished talent and fundamental wise, and maybe he could do that on his own...............


It will be interesting watch things play out

they were down 5 with 19 seconds left

they missed the tying 3 and with seconds left got a rebound cause the Spurs had no big men out there

Ray Allen hitting the shot wasn't lucky HOWEVER the Heat winning game 6 was. That was my point. Having the highest FG% doesn't guarantee you will win the title. So its ain't just about being efficient shooting the ball. Getting rebounds is important cause it gives you more possessions. Right now the Heat are the worst in the league at that. Turnover differential is also important. So his fg% defense. Etc.

There are alot of parameters that are critical to winning games. I was simply pointing out that shooting efficiency ain't the end all be all. The best teams in the league have proven that just trying to shoot the highest fg% doesn't mean you'll win titles.

I haven't been paying attention cause everytime I check OKC games dude be getting slobbered by the refs, 20FT's a game
I still remember how furious some nikkas were that Bron and Wade were getting 8FT's a game 7 years ago.

Yeah but this thread is about FG% and LeBron's is ridiculous right now.

And his rings toss all arguments in the bushes because it is about winning and he's doing that too.

shyt is disgusting



Had KD frail ass played 10 years ago, he'd be a Reggie Miller ass nikka, with zero clutch gene

 

[OG Talk]

If shooting 3/4 court shots "helps your team win" then why aren't the guys who do that winning chips? Oh yeah, that guy shooting 60%.

Yeah he's shooting 60% and coming off of 3 straight Finals appearences...But I can't help but wonder how good he could be if he really commited himself to making 60 foot buzzer beaters, at the end of the 3rd quarter in Milwaukee in February...

It's a legitimate point to bring up...

Because all though he's technically "winning" he's not reaching his full potential as a "winner that can consistently airball 60 footers"...Thats a different level of winning that only the greats possess...

And I can't really respect him until he adds that aspect to his game...
