Exposing mj and the shortened 3 point line myth

[QUOTE=RRR3]LeBron in the 2018 playoffs 41.1% from downtown on 5.9 attempts per game. Find me a single comparable MJ playoff run. Hint: you can

[QUOTE=Bronbron23]4 attempts on 39% is fairly close. Mj also shot like 43% from three on almost 5 attempts in the 92 finals has LeBron ever done that in the finals?

And anyway the point wasn't to compare the two from three. Neither was amazing tbh. The point was that mj didn't benefit from the Shortened three point line like some like to say.[/QUOTE]
LeBron shot 51.9% from 3 on 5.4 attempts in the 2014 finals...

[QUOTE=Manny98]LeBron has a slightly higher 3 point percentage than MJ however he takes them on almost triple the volume

MJ is not close to LeBrons level as a 3 point shooter especially 2013 - 2018 LeBron just stop it they're not compareble[/QUOTE]
Just because LeBron shoots more dosnt mean he's better. The three ball wasn't as big as it is now. LeBron only shoots more because of the era not because he's a great three point shooter. Theyre pretty much even from the three but mj was the better overall shooter. Do u admit that?

[QUOTE=3ball]The game was different back then so guys didn't attempt as many threes

But MJ matched Lebron's percentage, and would've matched his attempts if he played in this era

MJ shot 39% on 3.8 attempts in the 93' playoffs, and 43% on 4.3 attempts in the 92' and 93' Finals..

So that's on par with today's standard...[/B]

Ultimately - given MJ's goat form, solid FT shooting, goat midrange shooting, and playoff runs/championships shooting at today's standard (about 40% and 4 attempts in 92' and 93'), we can be certain he'd be an elite 3-point shooter today.[/QUOTE]
So because he shot well in a couple of series then that automatically means he could be an elite 3 point shooter in this era despite the fact that he's only a career 33% 3 point shooter in his own era :facepalm

Ok and that's sick. I wasn't sure I just know there pretty close when it comes to the three ball but again this wasn't a LeBron vs mj thread though I'm not surprised it turned into that

If your volume increases then your percentage is obviously going to go down moron

MJ was a better mid range shooter LeBron is the better 3 point shooter

Foul shooting? And your volume theory isn't accurate especially when talking about mj. Mj was one one of the few players that was still very efficient even with a very high volume.the one time where LeBron was forced to be a volume scorer his efficiency plummeted.

Of course the shortened 3 point line helped him be more accurate with 3s during that short time span.

It made no difference because he still was the best player and the Bulls the best team either way.

The NBA wanted more offense and didn
