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

[Prometheus]

Why?

Because you touch yourself at night.

This is like asking if Gary Payton was such a great defender, why couldn't he guard Shaq?

[JohnFreeman]

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.

make your soul burn slow

He actually shoots 98.7% in practice

Looks like his 4th quarter 2011 NBA Finals averages

He could shoot 90% "if he wanted to."

Sheesh, OP. Get it together. You should know Lebron is coasting at the FT line.

did yours posts ever make sence

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

75% hardly sucks...if you are above 75 you are doing alright. Also, realgreen is right, this thread has no point. Deandre Jordan shot .676%fg to .428%ft and Drummond shot .628%fg to .418%ft. If any "efficient" players need to go work on some ft's...it's these guys right here, yet Lebron is the one OP brings up.

why does almost every single mod feel like they gotta be Lebrons white knight

You're right. I forgot what the league average is. Just a player of LeBron's caliber and high fg% I would think the freethrows would be better. It's a troll thread but I figured I'd try to answer it and end it.
