ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports **2014 Official NBA Playoffs Thread**

You really think Lebron is a better shooter than MJ and Kobe? I'll admit he's gotten better but there was a reason Pop had his guys daring Lebron to shoot in last years finals.

That's because LeBron forcing lower percentage, contested shots (as you apparently want him to do to fit your image of what a "star" should be) leads to a less efficient offense on the whole and a better chance for his opponent.

Looking at this MJ has a fairly significant difference in PPG and FT%.

MJ took more shots while keeping his FG% slightly better.

FT% is a good indicator of natural shooting ability. As said by many coaches if you can shoot free throws you can learn to shoot anywhere.

You can spin it any way you want, but nobody gave that kind of space to Kobe or MJ bc they knew they would make them pay for it.
