LeBron is MONEY in crunch time
so say the EXPERTS...
During the last three and a half seasons, on game tying shots or shots to take the lead in the 4th quarter with less than 6 minutes left, these are the numbers.
LeBron James - 38.9% from the field(all shots), 25.4% on jumpers
DWade - 40.1% from the field, 30% on jumpers
Kobe Bryant - 41.8% from the field, 43.0% on jumpers.
A further look at LeBron's clutch stats:
FG% from anywhere on the field is regressing every season - 45.5, 40.4, 33.3, 33.3
FG% on jumpers also regressing every season - 35.5, 27.3, 26.9, 22.2, 25.0
LeBron has made a whopping total 15 game tying or lead taking jumpers in the past 3.5 season. THAT SUCKS. He has made 1 this season and 4 last season. He is taking less crunch time shots and making less too. he is regressing. he is becoming more of a choker
A look at Bryant:
FG% from anywhere on the field - 41.0, 42.9, 43.5, 45.1, 44.4, 26.1
It would seem until this season he was still on the rise. I have a good feeling this 26.1 will end up better than 40.0 for the season though
FG% on jumpers - 35.6, 43.5, 41.2, 40.0, 50.0, 40.0
This season he is still at 40% on jumpers
