Typical sports fan way of arguing. As if we're only talking about the jump shot. That's just one part of the skill set.
The overall skill set is weak. His athleticism may be the best to have ever graced the league.
btw, Shaw's skill set (for his position) > Lebron's. Shaq's footwork and sense of awareness in relation to the hoop was impeccable for a big man.

This is just pure hate speaking. Might want to analyze his shot selection first:
http://www.82games.com/1011/10MIA9.HTM
69% of LeBron's field goal attempts this year, in other words more than two thirds, are jumpshots and he makes 47% of them.
But I heard something a commentator say while playing NBA2k11 the other day, which is true. A mid range jumpshot is the dumbest shot you can take, efficiency wise. Inside shots, drives to the baskets and arguably 3 pointers are better solutions. Shots close to the basket because the shooting percentage is higher plus you draw more fouls. As for 3-pointers, it's arguable because even though they are lower percentage, hitting 4 out of 10 from behind the line is 2 points better than hitting 5 of 10 from mid range and the same as hitting 6 of 10 from mid range. But on the other hand, 3-pointers still lead to more misses, and a missed shots ends up in opponent's hands way more because defensive rebounds are way more frequent than offensive.
Jumpshooting is not a weakness in LeBron's game at all. His biggest weaknesses are free-throw shooting and low post offense.

Every team cries about calls yes. KOBE is definitely a big cry baby. But is now more so he is old, and wants to still maintain his impact. But his skillset and the fact that he works on his weaknesses differentiates him from Lebron.Originally Posted by BigBrandon
The heat plan to cry about foul calls... I'm sorry no one else in the league does that right.
I guess that was Lebron who called the ref a derogatory name while crying all the way to the bench... stop it. If you don't like the player fine but all this hate for a super star and two time mvp is just dumb.

lmao this tool talks like he's bron's trainer or somethin...keep that to yourself lolOriginally Posted by ThEPoiNTGoD
Lobron Jomes does have some serious flaws in his offensive game. I am curious to see if he ever decides to work on them. Obviously his basketball IQ is tremendous, but I think he's too committed to being a legendary off the basketball court to hit the gym and work on his offensive skill set. And especially now that he has Wade to close out games, he's certainly not going to have the same motivation.
