You know, Basketball Reference now makes it possible to check half court shots/full court heaves, so you can check up on your lies yourself.
LeBron's also taken a similar amount in the final 5 seconds of the shot clock.
Just stop spreading myths. Cant have that shit, young kids read on here and you'll influence them with lies.
Stop the BS, Bransvestite.
He's routinely given 5+ feet of air space to shoot beyond the arc.
He's essentially shooting a wide open stand still three a majority of the time.

I remember seing specifically that stat you need somewhere, and for now, all you have is my word, that Kobe on average did not attempt more end of quarter/shot clock attempts than LeBron...
Neither of them are really good 3 point shooters. However, if I really need a three pointer in an important game, I'd side with Kobe. That said, I hated the amount of ill-advised shots he took. But hey, it came with the package.

"Ordan"?
How do you still have the nerve to disrespect someone like Michael Jordan after what we're seeing in these finals?
"Ordan" dropped 35 with 6 threes in one half of a finals game to send a message. THAT is living up to your hype. THAT is doing something legendary.
Not getting outplayed by Draymond Green and looking like a chump.

Re: Why is LeBron a better career 3 point shooter than Kobe or Ordan?
Because the 3 wasn't really used early in Jordans career. He's actually not a bad 3pt shooter when he's taken a decent amount of threes. Even excluding the years with the line moved in

Re: Why is LeBron a better career 3 point shooter than Kobe or Ordan?
And why does Wade shoot a higher percentage than any of them in the playoffs? With Lebron at the bottom btw...
What a regular season warrior Lebron must be.

BOOM
Just about very Finals, Bron gets shown up by a player not on his level. MJ woulda never let a player of Steph's caliber, much less someone like Draymond, show him up. And he damn sure would let a bench player win FMVP over him.

Form is temporary
Re: Why is LeBron a better career 3 point shooter than Kobe or Ordan?
His 3-point percentages will go down as he gets older.
Put that into your thick head OP.
