Steph Currys normalized it though.

It's not that Curry started logo threes and pull up 3s. Its that he normalized that shyt to where it is common at all stages of the game, and for even role players to do it

LeBron did deep threees, but mostly when the the shot clock or quarter clock was winding down.

Kobe and TMac did pull up threes, but mostly on a heat check.

Currys legacy is in how you see A LOT of players do it CASUALLY - not just when they have the hot hand or late in games. Curry made this shyt a normal part of an offense.

Pull up threes, logo threes, off the dribble iso threes, off balance fade away threes, etc. Used to be situational/circumstantial, but now it's in afterthought. Role players are expected to do them now.




Lebron's main flaws offensively are that his handles/crossover abilities are not great, and that his post game is still limited moves wise. He still gets it in at a good clip, but the lack of a sheer bag prevents him from doing it consistently.

I feel like as he has put on size, he has lost his mobility and nimbleness.

This is exactly it. LeBron's handle was at its best when he first came out. He used to have a pretty good dribble package, but he made the choice to simplify his game and add muscle in order to play a power-centric brand of basketball.

The thing was Lebron's athleticism is so amazing and he did so often that we don't appreciate it because unlike Jordan who lets be honest even people like me who were old enough to see his entire career were still not able to see him at the level we are able so see Lebron pretty much all the time from when he was in high until now.

You're just making shyt up

J Will didn't take alot of 3s

He definitely didn't regularly pull up from 30

And he definitely wasn't doing anything 10 years before Bron did

He was a high volume three point shooter especially for his era.

He took deep ones in transition, off the dribble, off the hesi hang dribble.

His range was like up to 25-28 feet…really a few feet behind the line which was crazy for that era.

He didn’t take 30 footers or make Logo threes or half court shots like LeBron though.

I just looked and he took more 3s than I remember but either way he wasn't pulling up from super deep and he definitely wasn't doing it "10 years before Bron " which was my whole point
