Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James’ three not falling, but everything else is

The one knock on Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James that has followed him around his whole career has been his jump shot.

Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs took advantage of this while sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2007 NBA Finals, and the Dallas Mavericks did something similar in the 2011 Finals.

Over time, LeBron’s jump shot has become more and more reliable, making him impossible to guard. During his rookie campaign, King James shot 31 percent on any shot that was not directly at the rim.
