LeBron field goal percentage appreciation thread

[dubeta]

cherry picking and playing on stacked teams. we all saw how well that efficiency helped in 2011 and 2013.

2/5

Please prove the cherry picking

Tyson Chandler is 2nd all time in FG%.

Bo Outlaw is #9.

Do either of them have the 3rd highest PPG average in NBA history?

LeBron 27.5 ppg average only behind MJ and Wilt

27.5 is very skewed due to many circumstances, especially the rule changes and his weak competition every single year in the east.

It will drop dramatically if he doesn't cowardly retire to protect his stats.

Bron is certainly conscious of his efficiency....

“It’s like a competition me and D-Wade are having right now about who can shoot 50 percent, in each and every game,” James said, when asked a couple of days later. “I had no idea, because I don’t know what’s going on throughout the game as far as stats. I came in after the game, I saw 9-for-19 [against the Bobcats in late December] and I missed that last long three, I felt I could have gotten into the lane and got a layup. I’ve got to make up for it.” [...]

“Early in my career, I didn’t take every shot as seriously as I do now, to be more efficient,” James said. “It comes with age, it comes with experience. You know, when you’re an 18 year old rookie, or a 21-year-old, third year in the league, you can get away with a lot of mistakes, and not looking at numbers as much. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been more efficient, taking care of the ball. I value possessions more.”

He also values competition, and he’s been in one with Wade. Wade is also shooting the highest percentage of his career, at 50.6, a fact that Erik Spoelstra noted Thursday while asserting that if Wade was shooting as much as he once did, he could still average 28 points.

“We’re both so conscious of wanting to shoot 50 percent, that sometimes you wish you had that Kobe (Bryant) thought, where you just don’t care,” Wade said. “We talk about it all the time. It sucks at times, but it’s who we are.”

Weak response

Firstly the rule change was meant specifically to benefit Kobe after losing to Detroit in 2004. Didn't Kobe also benefit with his statpadding scoring seasons?

And Eastern teams have much better defences than the West. Playing in the East should REDUCE LeBron's ppg due to tougher defences.


Look at how much worse Kobe plays againt the East due to their better defences

Just smh

The defense looks better because they play one another so often.

And even so, 7 of the top 10 defenses last year were from the west.

Melt down.

[NZStreetBaller]

lebrons fast break skills and bowling through everyone to get to the rim are his keys to this efficiency.... How many wade to lebron alley oops happened in the last 4 years. durants FG% to style of play is more impressive to me.

[dubeta]

Melt down.

you're right bruh as a kobe fan it pains me to say this but i'm objective

You're alright for a Bran stan.

Charles Barkley had a higher FG% than Jordan

If you take out 3 pointers made and missed he shot 58.13% for his whole season career (21.6 PPG) and 55.13% for his whole play-off career (22.5 PPG)

*This includes a broken down, overweight and constantly injured 3rd option Houston Barkley, which ofcourse wasn`t the REAL Barkley of the Sixers and Suns that i saw play

Here is a Game of 14 fgs made/ 15 fgs attempted by Barkley
