lebron NEEDS shooters right? Isn't that a weakness in skills that limits team ceiling

[AirTupac]

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]What does this matter.

He took 1 3pt FGA per game with Lebron. One ATTEMPT per game. Look it up on bball ref.

How is that being

[NBASTATMAN]

MJ needed shooters as well..

He had Paxon, Hodges, Armstrong, Kerr, and they were all some of the best shooters of all time..

You could also consider Horace Grant , Bill Wennington, Kukoc, and Buschler all shooters considering their positions.. They could all shoot and usually were set up for Spot up shots by MJ or Pip..

MJ had more shooters than Drexler in 92 and Magic in 91.. I would say that Barkley had as many or more shooters than MJ in 93 Finals.. Mj's Bulls had more shooters than 96 Sonics, 97 and 98 Jazz..

I guess MJ had that same weakness..

Just give him Pippen

21/9/8 with amazing defense

And don't forget Horrace Grant/Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Ron Harper

Sound like anyone you may know?

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]Is he?

Can a guy who averages 1 3pt FGA per game really be one of the best ever?

That

[knicksman]

anyone who isnt an idiot knows that lebron sacrifices teamplay for stats. Thats why only an idiot ranks players based on stats aka statnerd.

but but but other top teams didn't need shooters. GSW winning 3 rings didn't have shooters. Klay and Steph shoot like Lonzo, right?
Tell me again the past 4 years, what are the teams that thrived on offense without shooters?
ughh, the Ironic OxyMORON,
3Ball hates the 3-Ball concept?
3 beats 2, better floor spacing etc etc.
Another Irony Miami 11-12 champs, Bosh and Wade took a combined 1.7 3pt attempts.
The following year, they took a combined 2.0 3pt shots and still winning another ring. It's harder but it can be done.

Bron doesn't need shooters to be successful as an individual player.

But you won't win as a TEAM in this era if you can't shoot (or really any modern era).

Of course he doesn't need shooters to empty statpad in Ls

News Flash bright guy: Everyone needs shooting around them in today's game. I'd like to know which teams have managed to , even threatened to succeed without shooting the way the game is now.

Teams with average talent and injuries won't win a lot of games. Who knew?

[Celtics 1825]

There's no team out there that's winning without shooters. Only 3 teams that are bottom 10 in 3pt% and 3pters made are currently in the playoffs. One is OKC, who have multiple superstars. The other is Utah, who have a dominant defense. Lakers neither have multiple stars nor much of a defense.

Playing without shooting in today's era would be like playing without bigs who can rebound in the 90's. You aren't winning shit.

Exactly. How do you expect to be successful in today's game without having shooters on your team?

I'm not a LeBron fan but how is this a slight against him? In 2019 all superstars need shooters around them to win.

Jesus.

Who needs THIS much help to beat auto mechanics?

[NBAGOAT]

the triangle just wouldnt work that well today unless you had mj or shaq, basically the 2 greatest offensive players of all time. rambis and fisher failed miserably(and fisher had jackson making personnel decisions).

All you need to know is Riley who's one of the best ever at adjusting to his era has completely evolved his team's playstyles. By the time Bron was there, they were playing 3-4 shooters in most lineups and Bosh at center frequently and this was still like 5 years ago.

[And1AllDay]

Jordan NEEDS multi dimensional two-way players.

Isn't that a weakness in skill that limits team ceiling?

Shit

We saw Lebron this season with a bunch of playmakers who couldn't shoot, that shit wouldn't work. Lebron needs the ball in his hands, Phil's system would make him a lot worse than he is.
