LBJ ahs singlehandedly shot his team into this position

[ryanXL977]

every cavs player is playing well but one

the chosen one
the mvp
the best player in the league

except one thing

he cant shoot and never cared bc he can run over guys

thats why he isnt in wade or kobes league
he cannot shoot

[MonkeyF0cker]

Yeah. Okay, ryan. 3 point shooting percentages for each player:

Wade: 28.8%
Kobe: 33.9%
Lebron: 34.2%

As usual, you base your arguments on one game. Well done.

[ryanXL977]

pick only one indicator
dont pick midrange jumpers right? just threes! jackass. nobody here thinks you know what you're talking about, per your gallardo is an ace argument, so try again.

i guess rondo is a better shooter than all of them bc he shoots 50% right? very honest argument, im disappointed in you, as usual.

[MonkeyF0cker]

You show me a stat for midrange jumpers. Pretty sure 3 pointers are more difficult to make than midrange jumpers. You're the expert though. Obviously, Lebron "sucks," right?

[ryanXL977]

watch games
or just tell everyone how smart you are
lbj cannot shoot
he gets way more layups and dunks than kobe
go look it up.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Really? 34.2% = 50%? Rondo isn't even close to 50% from 3. Keep pulling numbers out of your ass.

[ryanXL977]

50% shooting from the field
never said from 3
try again dude. you are going to try to convince people who watch every single game, that lbj can shoot, just like you said the brewers have a good defense, and that theyd beat philly in the loffs

crunch your numbers mr cooltimes, you need to watch less sportscenter

[MonkeyF0cker]

What do layups and dunks have to do with 3 point shooting percentage again?

[Tsoprano]

Missed both free throws

LeBrick

[ryanXL977]

you brought up 3pt%, you did. well, why dont you pull dunks and layups out and see how he compares to kobe. im sure using your fancy computer models you could figure it out. he has never had to learn to shoot mr cooltimes, bc of his size and strength. and he never will. wade can hit 18-20 footers all day
lbj cant.

When did I ever say either of those things? I'll remind you for the 47th time. You said the Brewers had the worst defense in the majors when they had an average NL defense last year. Look up some stats for once in your life. And how on Earth does that have anything to do with this conversation anyway? Yes. I got the 3 point shooting percentages from Sportscenter. You're an idiot.

[ryanXL977]

brewrs had the worst offense in the nl last year. i watch them all.
the worst d i have ever seen was, i believe, the 04 dbacks
but other than cameron, they had bad defenders at every single position. errors dont always take into account plays that branyan, bill hall, weeks, and fat ass fielder cant make to begin with.

if you are trying to argue that lbj is anything better than a below average shooter, youre wrong

[pokernut9999]

Lebron is one of the worst shooters period.

[ryanXL977]

yep
he is good at everything but one thing, shooting

[MonkeyF0cker]

you brought up 3pt%, you did. well, why dont you pull dunks and layups out and see how he compares to kobe. im sure using your fancy computer models you could figure it out. he has never had to learn to shoot mr cooltimes, bc of his size and strength. and he never will. wade can hit 18-20 footers all day
lbj cant.

Yeah. Being able to drive to the rim is a huge liability. (That's sarcasm.) People (other idiots) said the same thing about Jordan and (yikes!) Kobe when they were in the infancy of their career. A guy that shoots better from 3 than either Wade or Kobe is obviously incapable of shooting midrange jumpers though, right?

The Brewers had the worst offense now too?

[ryanXL977]

again, simply find what his percentage is from say, 15-21 feet
you can end the debate and prove your point
i say kobe and wade are better, you say lbj is just as good. im sure its proveable mr cooltimes, use your pentium 12 processors and prove it.
bc everyone knows he cant shoot.


i meant defense, not offense, obviously

[The_Kid]

I can dare Lebron to beat me with his jumper but he can't and he won't unless he works on it. There is no doubt that Lebron can beat anyone to the hole because of his brute strength but his J needs work.

[SBR Lou]

Lebron will make the most incredible, long, off balance and impossible 3's but he seriously struggles with mid to long range jumpers. When he is limited to jump shots Cleveland typically loses, whereas Kobe is a far superior shooter.

The strategy the Celtics employed last year in the playoffs was simply- make Lebron shoot, he is really not that good of a shooter or FT shooter at that.

[MonkeyF0cker]

And the Lakers typically lose when Kobe has over 30 attempts.

[MonkeyF0cker]

The Cavs did take the series to 7 games. Not so sure it's entirely effective.

[Jshap1515]

Wow
He is the chosen one for a reason. We are all witnesses for a reason. He is one of the best players in the league if not the best. I'm 100% sure that his team is fine with him taking all the shots. He lost this game for his team, but wins a ton of others. What about when Kobe would take like 40 shots a game and the Lakers would lose. Kobe had the same thing except he would do it more often.

[ryanXL977]

he is the chosen one and we are witnesses bc someone ran ad campaigns saying so.
come on dude, its a business like any other.

[The_Kid]

That's this year but there are games like when they played the Knicks where he's just in the zone. In previous years, he had to take over 30 shots just to keep them in the game. Tell me if you can win with Smush Parker as your starting PG and Kwame Brown as your starting C.

What about when Kobe would take like 40 shots a game and the Lakers would lose. Kobe had the same thing except he would do it more often.

See, that's the problem. Everyone tries to tear Kobe apart when he shoots 40 shots but I don't hear anyone complaining about Lebron when he shoots a lot or when he doesn't make shots, etc...

Umm... might wanna check the thread that you're posting in. They're bashing Lebron right now. Let's try to use knowledge next time while posting.

There's a reason the ads are being ran about him opposed to Kobe and others. He's just as good or better than them. You're blaming him for one bad game when he's gotta hoist his team to victory 90% of the time.

[shantystar]

Missed both free throws

LeBrick

yes we can expect this from u bald swine!baseborn.

[poker_dummy101]

In the 2007-2008 season Lebron James was 31.5% from behind the arc. That placed him 206th percentage wise in the league.

Now, getting rid of the scrubs who went 1 for 1 or whatever short term amt:

Lebron was Tied for 48th in overall 3pters MADE, nothing to do with attempted. The people that made more, ALL had a higher percentage than him. In fact, you have to go all the way down to 74th most made 3pters to find an average worse than his: Trace McGrady.

With a minimum of 55 makes, the 100th best 3pt shooter was Devin Harris at 33.5%. Like I said, Lebron was 31.5%.

Out of the top 20 scorers last year, only two "perimeter" players had a worse percentage.. McGrady, and yes DWAYNE WADE (28.6)

Edit: Mistake on end thinking original post said Wade was better at outside.. haha nevermind he did

[ryanXL977]

all i was saying is wade is better midrange from say 14-20

he is obviously awful at pters too

[MonkeyF0cker]

Well you really didn't qualify it like that. Next time, perhaps you should...

[ryanXL977]

you brought up 3pt%, you did. well, why dont you pull dunks and layups out and see how he compares to kobe. im sure using your fancy computer models you could figure it out. he has never had to learn to shoot mr cooltimes, bc of his size and strength. and he never will. wade can hit 18-20 footers all day
lbj cant.

i did , i made the mistake of not doing it earlier. regardless, lbj aint a good shooter. midrange or otherwise.
