I agree. He never had a great outside shot. Now when he is on he is on.
Go look at his outside numbers and compare it to others such as kobe, melo, & durant.....

Who's the top player if not LeBron lol.

Are you saying Lebron is a better jump shooter than any of those 3?
36% from 3 is not bad at all.
The fact that you think it is shows how little you know about basketball.
Kevin Durant who most consider the best pure scorer in the league only shot higher than 36% from three 3x in his career.
Kobe only shot higher than 36% from three two times in his career.
Melo only shot higher than 36% four times in his career.
Let's stop acting like 36% from 3 is a bad thing. Unless you're some 3 point shooting specialist like Kyle Korver, JJ Redick, or etc 36% from 3 is solid
WHo said he's one of the best shooters of all time? What I did say is that his perimeter shooting numbers are in the same ball park and in some cases better than the Durant & Melo who are both considered as better shooter than Lebron over the last 3 years.
Can you read?
Bk, do those stats show you how difficult the shot was? Or was it at the end of the shot clock? Or who was sticking the player? Or if the player was wide open? My point is, stats don't tell you the whole story.
A stat might tell you that Lebron shoots a better percentage than Kobe, but every basketball fan know Kobe is a better jump shooter.
how much of that is due to shot volume. example Durant shot the 3 ball 491 times last year. Anthony 415. and LeBron and 306. so your comparing the guy when he shot near 200 shots less than Durant. then you add in his need to play with multiple all stars. he just doesn't shoot as many as them.

if he is slowing down. that is just too bad. in my oppinnion he is possibly the best to ever play
Yeah I'm sure teams were leaving Lebron James the best player in the world wide open....
Whoever you think is a better jump shooter is your opinion. My point of posting those numbers weren't to debate who's a better jump shooter between Lebron, Melo, and Durant. It was to simply prove that LBJ jump shot has clearly improved since 2012 because he saw the way Dallas defended him in the 2011 finals which led to him working all summer on his jumpshot and post game as well. As I said before if anyone on here can't see that LBJ outside game has significantly improved over the last 3+ years, I honestly have no idea what the hell you been watching.
