I Love it when LeBron Loses

80% at the rim.

Which SA Finals? He's played them 3 times in the finals.

Also he "made an unrealistic 80%" at the rim.....he can do that because of how great he is

 

[raiders72]

A higher % of LeBron's shots were from 16-22ft than were for MJ.

Michael Jordan Is The Best Mid-Range Shooter In NBA History

When talking about the best mid-range shooters in NBA history, names like Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kevin Durant come to mind. But perhaps nobody is

That's a statistical fact, not sure what your issue is

We are talking % of shots taken

 

[raiders72]

.091 of Brick's shots are from 16' to the 3 point line this year.

I agree that he is. He is a better mid range shooter than LeBron

Whole point is that LeBron has taken a fair amount of long distance shots in his career. He is taking way more this year and is still shooting over 52% from the floor. He's an off the ball player still averaging almost 6.5 assists as well.

The notion that he just barrels to the basket every play and gets all his points there is just absurd. He leaned more that way at the beginning of the year, but has drifting away form that for over a decade now

9.1% from that distance this year, but 37% of his shots from 3. Means 46.1% of his shots are from beyond 16ft, and he is shooting better than his career average (52.2% this year compared to 50.5% for his career -- both very high)

He's taking the most shots of his career on a per game basis, as well as as most 3's(by a lot), but shooting the second-fewest FT's of his career because he is more perimeter oriented

Yet he is still shooting better than his career average at an astounding 52.2%

 

[festeringZit]

Where does he rank on made shots? He's a career 50.5% shooter

He's going to pass Kareem in total points in way fewer games. He's also going to pass Magic Johnson in assists.

So he's going to pass Kareem in points (widely regarded as a top 5 player time), and Magic in assists (widely regarded as a top 5 player all time)

Instead of being petty, how about you appreciate how great this guy is at this stage of his career. There's never been a player in the NBA this great this late in his career

If you just don't like the guy, then just say it and make fun of him for his off the court shit. Trying to argue against him as one of the two greatest players ever is just pointless. There's literally no argument against it.

Rofl. Plenty of respected people don't even have LeBitch in the top 5, some not even top 10. Yeah he's a great player, but for you to say there is no argument against him being top 2 is ridiculous.

I stay say he's a fucking asshole, and just not very bright.

This year he is shooting 3s. Most of his career it was layup and dunks. Just go to pro basketball reference because most of what you are saying is wrong.

If you don't have him top 5, you're just a hater

There's no unbiased argument. Try naming 5 players better than LeBron all time.

Him being an asshole shouldn't affect your ranking of him, but it clearly does in your case

46.1% of shots beyond 16ft, but still making 52.2% of his shots; find one thing wrong with that

Averaging nearly 30 a game in year 19 with no floor spacing teammates

LeBron is a bad shooter? yeah right dude

Keeping moving the goalposts...."well this year he is, but..." lol garbage

You said that Brick is faster than Jordan. Brick takes more mid range shots than Jordan and that Brick is a better outside shooter. I'm not sure what to say at this point.

 

[raiders72]

5 years in a row Jordan shot over 50%. That's unreal for a guard.

Did not say he took more mid range shots. Said he took more shots at a specified range (16ft and beyond)

Bron better 3pt shooter based on percentage of shots going in; if the argument is MJ just didn't shoot many of those, then stick to that.

You said Bron can't shoot and that all he does is dunk/drive. Couldn't be more wrong than that

Just a dumb hater

He was good. 49.7% for his career

Saying that Brick is a better outside shooter than Jordan is as bad as saying Brick is faster than Jordan. Good night.

edit- Add Brick took more 16-22 to the list.

That was a gaffe. Meant 16ft + . I think i treated 16-22 as inclusive of 3. Good call

 

[JATTKING]

Anybody see that play when Lebron was trying to save the ball and he absolutely whips it at Barnes head? Looks like he aimed for it too. What a piece of shit.

I mean the guy is already down on the ground. He's a young player. Fuck you Lebron. Just cause he's getting his ass kicked.

Somebody post the clip.

Yeah Jordan fought and played rough etc. But he didn't pull bitch moves like this. (Cue somebody posting a play where he does lol)
