BRON HAD ONE 60% TS SEASON
IN HIS 1ST 8 YRS
BEFORE HE STARTED FORMING SUPER TEAMS.


:devil:
:evil:

LeBron has 7 seasons of 60% TS% and another 3 of 59%. His best season was 65% in 2014, when his best sidekick was a washed, injured D-Wade who only played 50 games.

MJ only had 4 60% TS seasons total, none better than 61%, and if he wasn't a better free throw shooter than Bron he would have had zero.

Legit what do you think you're proving other than that Bron is only an average FT shooter? :what:

Now this may be a whole other topic altogether...


Was Reggie less likeable than Steph Curry?
I loved Reggie.

Curry is a much better player, but he has some of the most obnoxious, arrogant mannerisms I've ever seen off the court, and strikes me as a poor loser. I don't find him very likeable outside of his game.

Lesser player than Mitch Richmond, Clyde Drexler, Joe Dumars, and oher great SGs but happened to be on the right team at the right time on some of the biggest stages.

He had no put the ball on the floor skills, passing ability of any kind. He was a great shooter on a team that was built around his ability to come off screens and get off quick trigger shots. Had the NBA never came up with an All NBA Third Team in 1994, he would have never made an all NBA team of any kind. The highest he ever made it on the MVP ballot was 13th place.

Hes an example of being at the right place (Indiana) at the right time (Jordan’s stage) while bejng overrated as fukk. Cant front...I laughed my ass off when he hit those threes on the bum ass Knicks. i enjoyed it. :russ:

Art thou butthurt:jbhmm:
You are just wack. Reggie Miller was never as good as either T-Mac or Melo. He didnt even have a back to the basket game or dribble like either of those players. All yall dudes give in response is what you hear told about Rudy “he had guts!! A competitive spirit!” :mjlol:

A guy whos only skill was scoring yet couldnt get his own shot. if he didnt have those few moments vs the Knicks he would be considered a decent role player at best

Overrated greatness.
Would’ve love to see him in a different type of offensive system, but we didn’t.
Never quit attitude which outweighs talent
Kind of the father of ref manipulation. Harden should thank him for he paved the way for him.
Never intimidated by any player or moment.
Overrated greatness but the deadliest shooter besides Curry, Ray, and Bird.

Like I always say in these threads, if your only skill was scoring then you better be putting up near 30 a game to be considered a legend or great player. Miller is one of the greatest shooters ever but that's where it stops. He was never a true superstar. He usually had a solid supporting cast and got an inordinate amount of credit for any team success. He was one of the first floppers and still only hovered around 20 a game. He lacked the ability to create his own shot so he was always dependent on teammates to set him up. I thought it was crazy putting him in the hall of fame.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high

"washed"

20 PPG
1.5 STLS
4.7 ASTS
4.5 REBS

on 54% shooting.

Plus Bosh, of course

I love how you had to lie and replace 19.0 with 20 because even you know that looked bad. :dead:

And completely ignore that he only played 52 games because he was hurt so regularly. :hhh:

Put up fewer points than 39yo MJ and be in your prime, brehs. :francis:

You really don't want to post those postseason numbers of 17.8ppg, 3.9rpb, and 3.9apg, do you? :sas1:

Or those Finals numbers of 15.2ppg, 3.8rpg, and 2.6rapg....really screams Prime DWade. :sas2:

Have your best sidekick average 19-4.7-4.5 on the season while only playing 52 games, and @CHICAGO trying to claim LeBron's stats don't really count that season cause it was such a "Super Team"

NOT a top 50 player of all time

he was efficient offensive player, had a few nice years with deep playoff runs but that's about it.

trash talking and clutch plays are two things that overrate players a lot

He killed knicks in 95 when they were thinking of finals again, he took Mike to game 7 and once made it to finals. It's aight, but not enough to solidify status in top 50.
