I Love it when LeBron Loses

You aren't going to understand it if you think that Brick is almost as good as a free throw shooter as Bird. Look at the 3 point % of each.

I’m not debating who a better catch and shoot shooter is. FT % is generally a better indicator of that .

I was basically a pure catch and shoot player in high school. I was good at it, but I played with guys who could shoot well from 3 off dribble, not as efficient at FT shooters generally.

It is quite a different shot in high school, let alone NBA

My mistake on the Bird statement. I meant to say 3 pointers. Bird and Brick hit close to the same % on 3s. Give both an open look and it's not close.

I'd take Bird and Jordan compared to Brick for both catch and shoot and creating their own shot. It's just that Bird and Jordan had to create their own shot more than Brick from a distance.

I would take Bird above both in catch and shoot situation for sure. Bird would probably roll them both in a game of HORSE.

Jordan really excelled at curling off screens and getting to his spot in the mid range that way. No one in history better than him at that.

I get what you're saying about general positive correlation between FT and 3-pt

But there are many cases of mid range guys who are great at the line, but genuinely bad 3-pt shooters

DeMar Derozan is a good example in the modern NBA. He is a great midrange player and foul shooter, but he has a horrible stroke from 3

I've noticed in some of my posts I type FT when I meant 3 pt. Agree positive correlation FT to 3 but I was talking more of the correlation between attempts and percentage made with Jordan. The more attempts he had in a year, the higher the 3 pt percentage. And it didn't have to do with getting better since I was looking at consecutive years.

My contention is that the amount of forced 3s stay the same every year. Open 3s fluctuate. The more open 3s, the higher the percentage.

Well LeBron can shoot today

7-9, 4-4 3 pointers in the first quarter (21 points)

People will still hate on Lebron for this game somehow

Best player on both ends

I picked the perfect day to get on Brick's shooting.

Ya, but he's been the third best player on the court the first 3 games.

That one dude will say AD outplayed LeBron

Absolute no show from AD. Shocker

Going to be hard for him to beat them alone

I spoke too soon. Watching Brick shoot in the 2nd half was painful.

When he played baseball for Birmingham…
