Lebron can do everything, and he's always been insanely efficient. Forget Harden for the moment. Compare Bron's shooting percentages to Kobe's. There's a chasm there. And let's not act like that's because Lebron never takes mid-range jumpers or even threes
So first, let's stop giving Kobe so much credit just because he had bad shot selection and made a lot of tough fadeaways. Great player, but nowhere near top 20 of all-time. And frankly I'm just not gonna suck Kobe's dick because he took 8 awful shots a game and made 2 of them. And Harden's not even on Kobe's level, just has the same issue, and the percentages show it
