    .376% Why do you think it was even put up at .380%? It's clearly agenda driven.

    lebron's 3pt shooting is what really impresses me though, because he is so focused in other areas. proverbial sugar on the top basically.


    ^look at this angle where he is shooting a three at. picture, perfect fundamentals. feet are parallel, his hips remain squared - just perfect.

    people throwing myths around about lebron's numbers being inflated by open looks. well, 71.3% of his looks from distance since 2010 have been contested (stat last updated after the 2013 finals) - and that shouldn’t come as a surprise for a player of his caliber


    ^lebron fully contested
    (again, notice the feet, perfect control, the follow through? splash)


    ^off balance
    (still, though, his mechanics are spectaucular. his upper and lower body are disjointed and do not move in tandem with each other - perfect form)

    OP says "~38%", which means "approximately 38%". Plus, 37.6% rounds to 38% anyway. He should learn what things mean before he posts, then.
