If Lebron doesn't develop his mid-range shot and his free throw shooting, he is screeewed?

Question

I know all of you think very highly of Lebron, and right now you probably should. He is obviously one of the most dynamic and athletic basketball players in the NBA. But I predict that if he doesn't improve his mid-range, long-range, and free throw shooting, then he's screwed. I say this because his FG percentage is high right now due to the face that he can easily drive in and lay up or dunk the ball. But once age sets in, he won't be able to be as dynamic, and his FG percentage will take a huge drop. His 3 point percentage has also been fairly poor over his career, and his FT percentage has been poor as well. If he doesn't fix his shooting, then I predict he will have a mediocore career once he hits the age of 30.

Answer 1

He has it, he just doesn't use it.

The true thing he needs to develop is his leadership. He is really young and acts like it. He needs to watch out for how physical he plays, it will get him into fights.

Also, he needs to work on his passing. The last 2 games he was passing the ball, but usually he is hogging the ball when he doesn't need to. When he was struggling in the play offs, his teammates proved that they can make 18 points.

And to Steveyaomac,

Did you not watch him play against the Celtics? Open shots are way easier than driving through traffic.

Answer 2

hes still young. for every negative he has theres always a positive. He can grab boards, shows some blocking skills, dishes the ball for the assist, etc. And he finds other ways to score

Answer 3

well he got few more years to Develop

Answer 4

i think his freethrow shooting is really bad but i dont no he might be able to approve it an his jumpshot thats just really not his game he more of a showy look at me dunk he really should stick to driving an takin a 3 when hes open  

Answer 5

Well, leading a talent-poor team to the NBA finals right after he's even legally allowed to have a beer says it all, I think.

And who says he shoots poorly from the 3-point line?

Answer 6

He has improved I saw him shoot a lot better today in the game.

What I like about Lebron is that he always has a good shot he never settles for the jumper.You alawys want a player who makes easy shots than hard ones.Its good to able to shoot but why do that if you can make easy baskets and AND1 all the time.

the guy below me is out of his mind, its good to be aggresive that wins you games and what do you mean all that streghth can start fights he is a calm person. Plus he doesn't hog the ball the guy is one of the best SF passers

The guy was a one man army vs the celtics, how come he took the Celtics to 7 games and the Laker took them to 6, its James great play that did that and how good of a leader he is.

Answer 7

Yes he is!

Answer 8

sooo true. he's got time... he'll develop his jump shot.  

Answer 9

LeBron = Next Vince Carter
