If you don’t want to be compared to Jordan, then don’t do this

Immediately thought of MJ in real time as well

Shooting the 3 ball well should help him avoid MJ comparisons

That's just not true. If he played in today's game where people shoot the three

His highest 2 seasons were when they moved the 3 pt line to 22" instead of

What I said still holds true. Take out the years you Are talking about and

I just double checked. They moved it forward for 3 seasons.

Which were the two years he actually shot the 3. And he shot 36.5%.

Still a pretty big assumption that he "would have been great" given

LeBron has improved his 3 point shooting as it became more important and he shot

No he didn’t. LeBron had a great three point shooting year this year. But before that, his three best three point

There was no volume. That's it. He didn't need to shoot it either. He scored

This is a moronic thing to argue about. The 3 was not a big part of most games

Sorry you didn't like the stats. Because that's all I said.

What a ridiculous comment

Sorry if it hurts your feelings to think that MJ, when he focused on shooting

He never shot it well by todays standards when the line was where it is now

This is MJ fans’ favorite argument. “If MJ played in today’s game, he would have been better at shooting 3s.”

May 6, 11:24pm

Ya zero chance if he focused on it he could have been a good three point

May 6, 11:46pm

He was a good midrange jump shooter. Move the three point line up, he’s solid. Put it where it is now?

May 7, 12:03am

Again, volume matters. Those two years were the only two years he actually shot

May 7, 12:21am

The two years he shot it well were the two years the line was moved up.

What made MJ the GOAT...

If MJ would have just “figured it out,” why did he only shoot 83% from the free throw line?

May 7, 1:04am

What's LeBron's career FT percentage, Oh Great One?

CameronG

May 7, 12:08pm

Not really relevant, tbh, but that’s a great deflection

May 7, 2:29pm

Oh so now you want to talk about things that are relevant? Good to know

CameronG

May 7, 2:39pm

I mean, I haven’t mentioned LeBron at all in this thread. Like I’ve explained several times, I don’t think FT% is the

May 7, 3:28pm

You were the one that brought FT% into a debate about 3 point shooting and then

May 7, 3:45pm

Im trying to bring a debate out of fantasy land. The fact is, MJ was a bad three point shooter.

Just how to figured out how to win in baseball, with the wizards,

It’s not a given but it’s pretty silly to think that he wouldn’t be able to do it at all

The problem is that the argument has become hypothetical

775coug

That’s fair

Was he good by the standards of the time? Do you know that?
