View Full Version : Why do people consider LeBron an all time great when he can't make free throws?

He doesn't get a pass like Shaq.

If you primarily get points by using your God given athleticism and can't make your FT's I don't consider you ever to be an all time great.

Damn, OP, this is hating for hate's sake. As much as I think Lebron gets overrated by his stans as they compare him to the likes of Magic, Bird and MJ, I'd never deny he's an all-time great.

I think FT's are a major part of being considered an all time great.

I mean, yeah, free throws are huge. But there have been some all-time greats aside from Shaq who've also been so-so free throw shooters. Wilt and Russell come immediately to mind. Hell, I think Duncan is in the mid-70% for his career. I think Bron's been pretty much on average in FT% for a star player.

career under 80% for a perimeter player is pathetic

both Wade and Bron aren't hard workers

So you're basing your assessment off of one game?

IMO

Hakeem - 71%
Wilt - 51%
Duncan - 69.5%

Three guys in the top ten to twelve all time.

Would you consider them great?

Playoff LBJ is not a good FT shooter.

Wilt and Hakeem are in a different league.


In my opinion LBJ is not at Duncan's level so no.

So then you pick and choose who's FT % affects their greatness?

Why not just admit you are a LeBron hater and move on from the thread?

Your biasness and inability to make a legitimate argument are clear and your (very) futile attempt at trolling the boards is failing.

Turn off the computer screen, stand up from the chair, walk out of the room, close the door, walk out your front door, stand in the road and wait for someone to hit you.

Give everyone here the gift of no longer having to red another thread/post of yours.
