Wait so Lebron shot 44% against the Bulls

[Rose'sACL]

Actually, Kobe's efficiency has always been excellent given his usage and volume. The league average for SG's is around 42-43%, Kobe hovered around 45-47% for most of his career, but you guys have it (wrongfully) drilled in your head that he's a an inefficient chucker. He's performed better than nearly every guard.

he is clearly the second best SG of all time behind Jordan. He is also ranked 8-12 on most knowledgeable basketball fans' all time list which is pretty good. Lebron hasn't entered top 10 yet.

Yah.

Maybe in LA. But let's be real here. And stop trying to derail the thread here.

The topic was Lebron's shooting percentage and I'd like to get a counter argument to this statement- Looks like Kobe's/Melo's/Westbrook's career average.

And most people have him higher than that.

Children don't count.

That's about your boy Kobe's career average

and this is the post that brings Kobe into a thread about Lebron again. And people on ISH wonder why it always become Lebron vs Kobe in threads? Here's your answer. Insecure lebron fanboys.

This is so backwards it's not even funny.

thats why pau's record without kobe in playoffs is at like 0-20.

I didn't see Wilt play, but I'm pretty damn sure there aren't six better players than him in NBA history.

We all know popular vote is what should determine a player's value...

Anyway, going back to FG%. There is a difference (lost if you only focus on stats) between the best scorer on the floor having a low FG% because the defense is bothering him into bad shots or because he's intentionally shooting bad shots even though he could get higher percentage looks for himself.

A two time MVP, who averaged 28/7/7 on 48%. Also took his team to the finals at age 22, while on a scrub team. I would say that he was doing something right.

From 56-57 to 44.. Damn. That's a huge dropout and shows that you can't really protect FG as much in the playoffs.

That's what great defenses do though.
