Lebron's midrange % is skewed due to how little he attempts it. He's GOD AWFUL from anywhere on the floor outside of 5ft... and if it's the 4th quarter- he sucks there too. lol @ thinking he'll be worth anything at age 40. He gets half his points now from the stripe (he sucks from there too, by the way)... he gets those from charging (yes. CHARGING) his way to the goal. So what happens when he cant barrel his way down the hole anymore? I'll tell you: 1. He'll lose 10 pts from his average. (free throws) 2. He wont get his other 12ppg from dunking/layups. 3. This means he'll probably average about 6-8 points at most per game. 4. Fancy passes mean sh** when you don't scare defenses any longer to leave guys wide open. Lebron is a joke. Anyone that can't see that needs to get some respect for the game.
I know that you guys have made up your mind, but if you actually look at the shot charts, he doesn't even shoot that many layups/dunks compared to other stars. I'm not even a fan of him, but some of the criticisms are ridiculous.
Lebron had another 6 dunks or so tonight I think. That's 12 pts of his 20something. I'd bet 10 came from the ft line... so what does he do outside of dunking? Not much.
11/19 field goals, 3/5 3pts, 3/3 free throws I couldn't easily find a shot chart, but the highlights included 4 dunks, and a baby hook from just outisde the paint. No point in my discussing further, since you have no interest in basing your discussions on reality. I figured you guys would be circle jerking over his airball 3...
Why? His airball 3 was by no means anything we haven't seen countless times before. That and him bricking shots off the top of the backboard. Sorry. Anyone that takes up for Lebron's shot simply knows NOTHING about basketball. There's no room for discussion there. Claim he's the best. Claim whatever. But never claim he can shoot. Makes you look silly. And let's get 2 things out of the way: 1. It was against the Cavs. 2. He had one of those "can't miss" games that he has about once every 4 years. If you're impressed, be sure to watch him next game as he bricks every outside shot he takes.
Oh. And if you're taking up for Lebron- NEVER ask for a shot chart... http://awesomescreenshot.com/0332ol43 lol and that's on a night when he's "ON".
Sure I can. That shot chart isn't impressive by any means... He for once hit 3 shots outside? WHOA!!! GOAT!
