A very good analysis of Iverson/Kobe/Lebron/Wade/Melo

So at the end of the day Kobe is a more efficient outside scorer and Lebron is a more efficient overall scorer this season.Thanks

This is not about efficiency. This is about being a threat from a specific part of the floor. The more strengths you have in a a lot of real estate on the floor, the more you are a bigger threat.

I don't think shooting is Lebron's weakness..it's his shot selection..

I won't make a Lebron/slave joke for once

Paul Silas said that in LBJ's very first season. "He's not a bad shooter, he just takes bad shots".

Thats fine to a degree but if you are good enough to be a bigger threat with a more limited real estate range I'll take that instead.

I mean i'd love to see Lebron hitting 40% from 3 point range as much as the next guy because then he would be almost unguardable but as long as he is producing efficiently I wouldn't worry about where he is scoring from.

The Spurs series from last year was more about the total lack of support Lebron got than about the style of his play.The only reason there were 2 or 3 guys in front of him every time he blew past Bowen was because noone else could hit a shot.If the Spurs had been made to pay for leaving people open they wouldn't have been able to play as they did.

If he had a better outside shot they would just have doubled him further out with a similar result.

good anaylsis, well worth reading.

I would like to see something similar comparing the top point guards

KOBE FTW!!

I found the post interesting. How about Jordan? How does Jordan's numberes stack up?

If you ask JordanBulls... he never missed a shot in his entire career.

If he did, David Stern had it erased from achives.
