so the last two finals don't matter regarding defense? getting shit on by Durant, who earned FMVP in both?I'm talking about FT shooting which is just laughably abysmal -- around the 50% mark. That is always correctable, it just involves effort
LBJ shaats 74% for his career, RS and yoffs. At that point it becomes more about natural touch and if you don't have the touch no matter how much work you put in you'll never be an 80% FT shaater. My dude you've played basketball, you should know this
E.g. Scottie Pippen (.704 career FT%), Clyde Drexler (.788 career FT%), James Worthy (.769 career FT%), I could go on. You really think these HOFers were just lazy when it came to FT shaating?
And again, LeBron's defense is what won the 2016 Finals for Cleveland. Yes, he coasts during the RS -- there's only so much he can do, the man is always his team's de facto PG and primary scorer -- but he turns it up when it matters most
if you can shoot 40% from 3, you can shoot 80 from the FT line....it's impossible to have touch in one, but not the other.
