I don't think his 31 percent is actually a horrible 3 pt percentage for LeBron in the grand scheme of things. And I would venture to also say in the 4th quarter, LeBron is just as good a shooter as Kobe. Look at their 4th quarter numbers as a team...look at his individually...look at the fact the Cavs are actually getting outscored as a team this year and then look at their record...look at their record with LeBron on the floor. It's all right there. 82 for 263 for LeBron///102 for 295 for Kobe..yeah Kobe is a better 3 point shooter this year...35 to 31 percent. I guess that's significant?? I am of the opinion that LeBron is a pretty good defensive player as well.
