Lebron's FG% is as detrimental to his team as it is beneficial

[rule1223]

he has fg% than other stars because lebron cares about his fg% while the others dont doesnt... simple as that. You will never see lebron launch a shot he thinks he has little chance of making, full court heave with 1 second left, nah lebron would rather hold it, 1 second left on the shot clock while closely guarded, lebron would rather pass to chalmers for the turnover, tie game with 10 seconds left, lets give bosh a three pointer instead cuz my layup will be slightly contested, id rather not take that chance

[Marlo_Stanfield]

lol at this tard.
lebron always takes the bailouts, especially after out of bounds plays these days.
and normally makes them
keep tarding tho

Didn't someone else post some bullshit like this then someone posted an article showing James takes the most shots in the league with a certain amount of time left on the shotclock?

Good shot selection is a bad thing now? Is that why he's going to the finals for the fourth straight year? You really are overthinking this.

LeBron James

LeBron is absurd in a lot of ways, but this is ridiculous. The Heat have played at a slower pace each of the past three years, and this year they're taking late-clock shots on 13.7 percent of their possessions, the fourth-highest share in the league, behind Memphis, Chicago, and Utah. This is not good; late shots are inherently less efficient shots. So how is Miami still the second-most efficient offense in the league, overall? LeBron, basically.

Of the Heat's massive number of late-clock plays, LeBron is responsible for 31.2 percent of them. This is the highest percentage of any team's late-clock possessions for a single player. And not only that, at 0.93 points per possession, he's miles ahead of the league average of 0.78 points per possession. Among players with at least 100 of these possessions, he's 12th in efficiency, and he's taken 347. Put another way: LeBron is more efficient with less than four seconds on the clock than Paul George and Tim Duncan (both right around 0.92) are in the halfcourt.

With Dwyane Wade missing a big chunk of the season, LeBron has taken on a huge amount of offense, and he's kept the Heat attack rolling, the way he used to for Cleveland. It also helps that in his fourth year in Miami, Bosh has become a reliable outlet valve, ranking near the top of the league in efficiency for late shots (0.98 points per possession), and remaining a deadly spot-up shooter from midrange.

BTW, LeBron has taken TWICE as many late clock shots as KD. Peculiar since KD had so many more FGAs...

This also represents almost 20% of LeBron's total shots.

is this real life?

[tmacattack33]

4 straight Finals appearances with Miami.

1 Finals appearances and multiple 2nd round and up playoff appearances in Cleveland with a team that isn't even a playoff team without him.

Sounds like he is very detrimental to his team.

OKC couldn't make the finals with the most ref favouritism of all time.

[guy]

I'm going to ignore the OP's points. Its not a detriment to this team cause Lebron can actually afford to be that selective with his shots. He's got 2 all-stars on his team who's strengths revolve around their scoring ability and bunch of guys who can hit 3s. Now if he was still playing on his Cavs teams, it would be very misleading and somewhat of a detriment to his team.
