Lebron's midrange efficiency is below 40% for 10 of 13 seasons, while his 3-point percentage is 31% in the playoffs (34% in RS).

The reality is that Lebron, Westbrook, Wade, Derozan and Butler ALL have poor midrange and 3-point efficiency, yet they're still the top wing scorers because today's wide open spacing and hands-off defense allows good athletes easier access to the rim than ever before.

Today's spacing and hands-off defense would benefit MJ's athleticism the same way, except he had goat midrange efficiency, which would give him a massive advantage over non-shooters Lebron, Westbrook and company.

Lebron's midrange percentage is below 40% for 10 of 13 seasons and his career 3-point percentage is only 31% in the playoffs.

The reality is that Lebron, Westbrook, Wade, Derozan and Butler ALL have sub-par 3-point and midrange efficiency, but they're still top scorers because today's wide open spacing and hands-off defense allows athletic players easier access to the rim than ever before.

MJ's athleticism would benefit the same way, except he had goat midrange efficiency, even better than Curry's, which gives him a massive advantage over non-shooters Lebron, Westbrick and company.. MJ had Lebron/Westbrook's athleticism, with better midrange shooting than Steph Curry.. That's the goat

oh ok, thanks 3ball, i can now very logically disdain that Lebron (or any player/team) accomplishment, the Finals and hell even the NBA... just because Jordan existed...

The definition of insecurity

[Gileraracer]

I know 50 NBA players better than Lebron "choker" James.

[Dray n Klay]

I made an identical thread last season before the Cavs went to the Finals and lost:

So I'm doing the same thing again this year in advance of the Cavs impending Finals loss.

You don't think that I'm serious about the Cavs winning do you?...

It's all a troll... 2/7 incoming...

Lame reasons... if Lebron wins it again Jordan will still have 2 more rings / fmvps and 1 more mvp (and 1 more dpoy).... its really that simple, will you ever stop with the insecurity 3ball...
