Here's why Lebron's FG% is so horrible

[3ball]

In these playoffs, he's shooting 32.5% on isolations, which is far below league-average.

His poor isolation FG% is crippling his overall FG%, since isolations make up the biggest part of Lebron's game - he isolates on 32.7% of his possessions, #1 in the league:

So if you want to know why Lebron is shooting so poorly, it's because on 32.7% of his possessions (his isolations), he shoots 32.5%.

You think this is an over-the-hill, way past their prime, broken-down Celtic team?..

What was Jordan's isolation FG% in the 96 playoffs? What was the reason he shot such a poor FG% in the finals?

[JerrySeinfeld]

He's shooting 32% on isolations for a whole playoff run, averaging 5 turnovers a game, vs relatively easy opponents (until the Finals), and he wants people to believe that he's the best player in the game?

L-O-L

Imagine how badly LeBron would suck if he wasn't one of the GOAT physical outliers

to be fair, kobe in 04 and 08 played the two best defenses in modern history.

the other teams don't come even close.

How is 25/11/7 a bad finals?

Damn near triple double.

Would also love to know why MJ shot poorly, and what his isolation FG% was.

to be fair, kobe in 04 and 08 played the two best defenses in modern history.

In 2004 Kobe did.. That's true.. But Kobe was still 2nd fiddle to Shaq at that time - it doesn't make sense to compare what someone did as a 2nd option, to what someone is doing as the #1 option.

Otoh, when Kobe was the number 1 option (2005-present), he never faced a playoff defense as good as 1998 Utah's 100.3 defensive rating..

Ditto for Lebron - 1998 Utah had a lower playoff defensive rating than any of Lebron's Finals opponents, including this year's Warriors.
