If Lebron is so efficient, why does he only shoot 75% from the free throw line?

[rule1223]

probably the easiest shot in the game next to a wide open layup yet lebron doesnt take the time to work on his free throws. Why? Is it cuz no one looks at ft% on the boxscores so he doesnt need to work on it? Or is it that its a stat that he cant statpad so he doesnt try? I mean even blake griffin shot 71% last year and his guy has absolutely perimeter shot

this is very relevant as the big thing with lebron is efficiency, how more efficicent can u get then to maximize the easiest points to get in a game? yet he doesnt do this why?

If James shoots, say, 9 fts a game, that means he's hitting 7 or 8 fts every night. If he hits the 80%+ that would be from a good ft shooter he is now hitting... 7 or 8 fts per game, with the 8 hit slightly more often. Oh, and "efficiency" is about his whole offensive game, not just him being average at the ft line. So you made this completely uninteresting topic that will change no one's mind over a diffence that may mean 1 point every few games.

This kind of topic is what defines you as a troll. Don't make any more James topics.

on 20 fga per game 50% means one more basket than 45%, yet one means youre efficient but the other means youre a chucker... and not to mention that doesnt consider the fact that each basket is not even worth the same amount of points, one could be a 2 pointer another 3 pointer, yet a difference of possibly 0 points is considered a legitimate argument for efficiency... if youre gonna call me out for trying to troll at least get your argument straight

yup, can't even shoot 80% like the other great perimeter players (Kobe, MJ), he has never done it for a full NBA season.

Everything about this is subjective. A guy shooting 45% is not necessarily doing the wrong thing (much depends on teammates, scheme, role) plus James just shot 56.7%, which is a big part of why rational fans acknowledge that he's an efficient player.

Was there anything I wrote that was inaccurate? You have no point.

[nathanjizzle]

freethrows are high pressure situation, because all attention is on you to make a simple free throw. we all know lebron is mentally weak, so thats why he shoots a less than ideal free throw percentage.

[GrapeApe]

Talk about running out of troll material

I'll say this though, as a Heat fan his FT shooting was frustrating at times. He more than made up for it in nearly every other aspect of the game. This is nitpicking at its finest.

[Mr Exlax]

75% sucks, but even with that he's still super efficient overall.
