Victim of Racism
I'm a brehette
See the thing with stats is that they don't show the entire context of the shots being taken ...if he misses a bunch of threes in garbage time(which miami's squad caused a lot of) that will skew his numbers...but when bron NEEDED to hit a jumper in miami he more than likely did so...same in Cleveland the first go around...his jumper is now absent. Numbers only tell so much.
If you don't believe numbers, then believe the man himself. When he was still in Miami, he said:
“I’m not making excuses. I’m not a big fan of the jerseys, not a big fan of them. I’ve got to figure something out the next time I wear the short-sleeved jerseys. I already don’t have much room for error on my jumpers”:Miami Heat: LeBron James complains about sleeve jerseys after loss to Spurs
And even if I conceded that his average in Miami was good, that's still only 4 years out of 12. He shoots 34% from 3 for his 12 year career, which according to @god shamgod, whose post you agreed with, is trash because it's below 35%. He only shot above 34% 5 times in 12 years. That is trash. And he had to be on the most stacked team of all time for 3 of the 5 times he shot above 34% from 3. And I'm being generous by not counting this year because we know he won't be shooting above 34% from 3 by the year's end. Over the last 15 games, he's shooting 33.9% from 3. Last 10, he's at 33.3%. Last 5, he's at 20%. Dirk is 89 years old and he's shooting 39% from 3 on the season. Lj just can't shoot. He never could. I don't get people who claim Lj can shoot. Even @god shamgod called him a "non-shooter". He's still getting shots when he needs them. They just aren't jumpers. He leads the league in ppg in the 4th and on 50% shooting too. Even last night he got layups down the stretch. He scored 16 points on 6 of 8 shooting in the 4th last night. They lost because of free throws and because he and Kyrie were trash all night.
