The 2015 Playoffs were Lebron's first RS or PS where he shot high volume

[3ball]

Right?

He shot 27.1 times per game in the 2015 playoffs - he's never been anywhere near that level in any regular season or playoffs.

Umm you clearly missed the 09 Playoffs... 22.3 FGA 14.2 FTA 36.4 usage rate

3ball,
When a Kobe stan is telling you that you're misrepresenting facts about LeBron, it's time to seriously think about what you post.

22.3 FG is not high volume, or anywhere near 27.1 fga.

22.3 fga is standard for a #1 option wing player.. It's close to average for a #1 option wing player.

Kobe sucks Deal with it. Maybe the Lakers needs to be demoted to the euro league, and maybe they can win some games.

Kobe is living Lebron's dream.

Not making the playoffs instead of losing in the finals.

FT's don't count as field goal attempts.

When Lebron has to shoot a high number of SHOT ATTEMPTS, he isn't capable of good efficiency

[3ball]

Usage includes FT's and FT's don't count as field goal attempts.

Again, when Lebron has to shoot a high number of SHOT ATTEMPTS, he isn't capable of good efficiency

Wait are you trying to say that Lebron ISNT the GOAT scorer?

tha fucc outta here with that nonsense! Such buffoonery!

[J Shuttlesworth]

3ball is ignoring the fact that the reason he was taking 14.2 FTA in the 09 playoffs is because teams were fouling him during shot attempts to force him to make free throws instead of layups/fastbreak opportunities. When you get fouled on a shot attempt, it doesn't count towards your FGA unless it's an and-1

22 FGA and 14 FTA is definitely high volume

[3ball]

Not at all

Lebron can take a million fouls shots and he will still have instances where he takes 27, 29, 33, or 38 SHOT ATTEMPTS, like the 2015 playoffs.

And the times he takes a high number of field goal attempts like this, he isn't capable of good efficiency.

Btw, we didn't need the 2015 playoffs to show us Lebron can't shoot well at high volume - it was already statistical fact.. Lebron's efficiency is poor at the additional midrange and isolations required of high volume shooting - you can't get 27 shots per game on all 3's and layups, and Lebron shoots 37% career from midrange and 33% on isolations (stats.nba.com has these stats)..

And sure enough - Lebron shot 27% on shots outside of 5 feet in playoffs - at the higher volume, he was more horrific than normal from midrange.

You're only using 1 playoff run as your baseline. LeBron's had plenty of playoff games throughout his career where he shot high FGA and high FG%. See the series against Orlando, or just about any elimination game he's ever played. Last season playoffs was a bit different with 2 star players on the Cavs being injured which ruins floor spacing, and puts a heavier load on LeBron than he's had in a long time. Besides, LeBron is best utilized as a combination of scorer and playmaker. It keeps teammates involved

What exactly is your point anyway? Bird never shot over 21 FGA in a run, Magic never over 16, Kareem never over 14, etc. If their teammates were injured, they probably would shoot that high volume and their efficiency would suffer. It's not rocket science.

Just about sick of you copy/pasting posts dozens of times. You literally have this argument going word for word in another topic.
