Lebron wouldnt average this high FG % On another team

[RRR3]

Jacks3 said LeBron was GOAT in another thread

[Pointguard]

Wow, so now guys who are third best at their position are superstars? No way are you guys who dogged Wade all season now have him as Super. Kobe is the best and then Harden is second if I heard you guys all year.
Wades' strengths are the same as Lebron so he's not a complimentary player to Lebron but versatile enough that he's not really in the way. Lebron leads his team in way too many categories.

Bosh is probably a top five at his position. Not top three. But he isn't a complimentary player either. Chalmers/Allen/Batt. Pronounced weakness is size, rebounding, bigmen, rim protection.

Contrast this with Pippen a top three player overall and Rodman a super specialist, might be top three PF, that is super complimentary and one of the leagues best defenders. Kukoc, Longley, Harper and Kerr are better position players than Heat other players.

Lakers, best center, best PG, best defending SG, fastest SF, great hustle PF's, Scott great shooter off bench, AC Green rebounder and great runner. All great complimentrary players. Weaknesses?

Celtic's best SF, top 2 best PF, Top notch center, Clutch PG champion top defender, long range Shooter in Ainge. Great Complimentrary players. Weaknesses. Could be outran.

Current Lakers. Top SG, Best Center, One of the most versatile PF, Two time MVP, Four HOFer's tons of experience - weakness, was harmony, injuries.

Current OKC, Top 3 PG, Second best player, Top shot blocker, Top shooter, top defender on the wings, top one on one defender at center.

Memphis and the Clippers also are better constructed than Miami and have deeper benches.

Nah, they outran the Bulls, Hawks, and the Rockets. They were all more athletic and the Celts were better than them in the fastbreak. That's part of their game believe or not and they were the best at it in 86. Depending on what season, the Lakers were better than the Celts at it. They were more entertaining tho.

And you're right. The Heat aren't the most stacked team in history at all. And there are better constructed teams than Miami as well, but Miami has great role players to fit with LBJ, Wade, and Bosh. Wade and LBJ are not complimentary players as you mentioned, but they still find a way to make it work and win games regardless.

[Lebron23]

LeBron shot over 50% from the field when he was the one man scoring machine for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LBJ has a high basketball IQ, and he's a good decision maker.

Same guys...backpedaling is the only option left for them...

[KOBE143]

He has probably the most stacked team in history.

anyone who denies this absolute fact are idiot..

[DMAVS41]

Of course part of it is Lebron finally playing on a great team. The other part (the bigger part) is that Lebron has continued to improve his game from day 1.

My guess would be that Lebron won't ever replicate his efficiency this year again. If he does...it would be absolutely crazy.

Keep in mind he shot 50% for a Cavs team in 2010 that required him to do about as much as a superstar can do. So even on a team with an average supporting cast...he was still over 50%.

[TheNaturalWR]

This forum is so unbelievably bi-polar with Wade. One day he's washed up and a scrub, the other day he's a top 2 SG?

[Jax]

They scared NOW!

The wild thing is that if he didn't play on the Olympic team he would have worked on his shot. But he always had good judgment, with a fault of sometimes getting carried away with the jump shot now and then.

There is truth in this statement. First, having Wade/Bosh (mainly Wade) means LeBron doesn't see the same kind of defenses he did with the Cavs. Further, because Wade can take over games, LeBron can conserve energy and pick his spots instead of burning himelf out over the course of four quarters, which would reduce his efficiency.

But, the real factor that jacks up LBJ's FG shooting is that he's the Heat's designated finisher. And you would have to watch the Heat regularly to know this. But, nine times out of ten, when the Heat are on the break, even if Wade/Bosh are open too, the pass is going to James. (Hell, Wade turns down fastbreak dunks to throw open lobs to James at the rim).

There are strategic reasons for this. LeBron, as the Heat's best dunker, is most likely to fire up the crowd/ demoralize the other team. But, those extra points on 100% FGs do bolster his numbers.

[LikeABosh]

Lebron fg% has gone up every year since 07' He dropped 30 per game on 50+% shooting in 08-09. He has clearly improved his midrange shooting, threes, post game, and he's bigger and stronger than ever, allowing him to finish even better at the basket. Sure maybe his fg% is inflated a bit, but his other numbers would go up if he didn't have to share the ball with players like Wade and Bosh. I'd say he would drop 30 per game at least on 53% shooting if he played for a team like his Cavs.

[NBASTATMAN]

Miami and the Lakers are basically the same. Don't forget Ray Allen is very similar to Scott.

Celtics wouldn't be able to run with Miami.

Bulls? Yes, they get beat. There would be no answer for the big 3 and company.

Heck, this Miami team is probably on their way to 3 straight finals. If that's not good than I don't know what is.

[NBASTATMAN]

What basket is Lebron going to attack when Dwight Howard will clog the paint? He is no bosh to space the floor.
Offensively Bosh> Howard

What 3 pointers Lakers have to space the floor to Lebron?

This is nonsense. Lebron would average less then 45 % shooting if put in Kobe position

Lebron did it when Shaq played in Cleveland. THE KOBE STANS ARE HURTING


Though I do agree that Lebron would not shoot 56 percent on most other teams.

LeBron ain't a shot jacking moron. He's still going to shoot over 50% from the field if he plays on another team.
