Coincidently, that is also how their 3 point percentage ranks. Despite the fact that jordon had 2+ seasons where the three-point line was shortened and custom-fitted for his ideal 3 point range.

Playing in an era where the 3-point shot has been the focal point of the offense and how much they practice it, Lebron sure isn't very good at it.

[Hey Yo]

Playing in an era where the 3-point shot has been the focal point of the offense and how much they practice it, Lebron sure isn't very good at it.

The reason Jordan didn't practice it was because he knew he couldn't get better.

MJ - Reg: 33% Playoff: 33%

They’re all basically the same quality level percentage wise from three point range.

He could get better. Between the 1994-95 and 1996-97 seasons, that is. Then in 1997-98 he became significantly worse again. And don't even get me started on his Wizards years.
It's not like the knowledge that 3 > 2 wasn't there, it's just that his range wasn't there to match his 3pt percentages from the shortened line.

What makes it worse for Lebron is the three is a huge part of his game, it wasn't for MJ and Kobe. You would think for someone that practices for it alot would be significantly better.

To think that this would only be his distant 3rd best surpassing this upcoming season if he stays healthy... After surpassing Kareem to become #1 in all-time scoring obviously, as well as surpassing Steve Nash to become #4 in all-time assists. What a friggin beast! :applause: :rockon:

Bronies in a nutshell:

"I HATE Jordan!! He retired THREE TIMES [sniffle sniffle]. And he murdered his father [sniffle]! And he wouldn't shoot three pointers!!"

:lebroncry:

[WhiteKyrie]

Take those WNBA season 3 point lines out and Jordan falls to 30%
We don’t know what he’d shoot those seasons with the normal line, so you don’t just remove it.

He didn’t control that small shortening of the three line for 3 seasons to try to increase scoring. And it actually has the inverse effect, because at that point teams still weren’t being encouraged to shoot as many three-point shots, and it made the half court even more congested, with already a level of physicality that LeBron has never seen his entire career playing basketball.

Jordan would’ve shot around 35% (pretty good) which he shot in 1993, when he finally started shooting more, even with a messed up shooting wrist all season. Try again.

33% from 3 isn’t bad. Especially when it wasn’t a focus of scoring in that era.

LeBron needs to increase his FT%.

Mike and Kobe were at 85%

And LeBron is at 73%

God you Bronnies are dumb.

Curry would shoot poorly if he purposefully limited himself to 1 highly-contested, end-of-shot-clock bailout three per game.

That's what Jordan did for every year of his career (less than 1.5 attempts), except 2 years where he took 3+ attempts and shot well (37%), while also having entire title runs at 4 attempts (39% in 93') <--- that's better than Kawhi's 2019 run (5 attempts on 34%), so Jordan would destroy today's era because he'd be focused on the shot and already have goat form

[Baller789]

35%>30%

Lamo! Tell me, what would be different with Jordan's career if he shot 35% from 3 his entire career?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Stupid to compare the three point shooting of a modern player to anyone whose career ended before 2010. You idiots think James is a better shooter than Larry Bird? Because he made over a thousand more threes.

Bran clearly isn’t a better 3pt shooter than Kobe, nor than Mike. He just played forever, and in an era where 3pt shooting was not only accepted but strongly encouraged. Most of Jordan’s early career, it was actually strongly discouraged, as a gimmick.

Lebron stans don't understand the nuances of the game so they only know how to read box scores and arrive at conclusions based on meaningless statistics.

Only a moron would insinuate that Jordan couldn't shoot 3's well. One of the greatest games he ever played saw him hitting 6 threes in the first half of an NBA finals game.

Don't even get me started on Kobe. If you honestly think that Lebron was a better three point shooter than Kobe, just log off and request to have your account deleted.

Lol, at best Lebron is good for spot up threes and pull up threes.

Kobe could splash it from anywhere. Turnaround threes, fadeaway threes, running threes, threes in traffic, threes against man coverage, threes against a double, etc.

I really can't believe we're having this conversation. The percentages don't tell the full story. You actually have to watch the game.

[kawhileonard2]

How many bronze medals or series lost with HCA?

[Lebron23]

Last night he hit a logo three again.

[2swift4u]

I always thought MJ's shot was way to flat to be a great 3 point shooter. But he didn't need the 3pts that much. Different game, different era. Kobe was amazing at hitting difficult shots. I can't really remember how he shot on average. With Lebron it has been a bit of an up and down. Some years he shot extremely well. Like 40% or so if I remember correctly. And then he had seasons when he wasn't very good. He most likely has the biggest range out of these three guys though.

Short 3 point line.

Jordan had the same 3 point line during the regular season. Yet his 3-pt % drastically jumped during the finals.

The correct answer is that Jordan stepped up when it mattered. Lebron shrivels when it matters. That's why one is the consensus GOAT and the other one isn't.

Missing the playoffs 4x isn't good either; James missed his first 2 + 2019 & 2022. Lost in the first round in 2021.
Hell if 2002/2003 had today's soft ass "play in game" Mike's Wizards finished 10th in 2002/2003 - he'd have been eligible for the play-in game.

Pretty much. People be gushing over Bran's 3PT% in the RS, but watch him brick every 3 in the 4th when it matters once it's Playoff time again. Those 4th quarters vs. Denver in the WCF when he took out of rhythm 3s to kill the momentum were so ****ing stupid man. They blew it 4 straight times ffs.
