LeBron is not a good outsider shooter, never really has been. He can get you buckets, but it'll never be his strength. Truth is, dudes would give him crazy space, which made it easier to get off his shot. Now he can't blow by defenders like that anymore, and that gap is closing. Same progression happened with Wade honestly.

But now Wade is a deadly midrange shooter though :yeshrug:

26/7/6 on 55.2 TS% would be a career year for kobe? :dahell:

In what universe does 1 more assist per game or 1 more rebound per game outpace 10 more ppg?

Kobe's got a 35/5/5 on 56 TS%, 32/6/5 on 58 TS%, and a 30/7/6 on 55 TS% season on his resume. And that doesn't include several other seasons with >25ppg on 55 TS%

Hell at age 34 before he tore his achilles, Kobe had arguably a better season than LeBron is having right now at 31.

27/6/6 on 57 TS% > 26/7/6 on 55 TS%.


Kobe at 34 > LeBron at 31.

So does TS% matter when it comes to Curry vs. Westbrook?

These numbers will mean nothing if Cleveland wins the championship.

Lets also keep in mind that Lebron has gone to the finals 5 consecutive seasons and 6 of the last 9,all while being the best offensive & defensive player on his team.It's taken a toll on his body.Cleveland needs to find a way to give Lebron an adequate amount of rest without surrendering the #1 seed so that he is not worn down during the post season.

He left D Wade cause he thought he was done, but in reality he left after the Heat used up his peak years :wow:

:lupe:

Granted its end of December, and by mid Feb, Bron is probably is in MVP running while D Wade is back to his midseason slump and taking games off :to:

You gotta understand LeBron is basically Goku after using the Kaioken attack too many times, he's still a great player but balling out the way he has the past decade, has clearly torn his body up.
