Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
A great shooter is defined based on the defensive capabilities he faces imo, unless you are talking only about foul shooting. Other than that, a horse like setting is as meaningless to basketball as a QB throwing to a receiver with no defense against him is in football.
So now the bar of good shooters is in a NBA game setting?
Agreed, we can call it sorority pillow fight for the purpose of this discussion.48-0 in boxing matches. Not really fights even though they refer to them as fights on TV.Or 48-0 in fights against other men.Crazy talk? Rousey medaled at 21 -- had she continued on competing in judo I'm guessing she had a decent shot at gold in 2012 or 2016. She's currently in her athletic prime at 28. Floyd is great, no doubt, but he's 38 -- not in his prime any more.Lot of people discounting just how good you have to be at something to be an Olympian.That's crazy talk.She was a bronze medalist, so at least 2 people were considered better than her. Floyd's one of the greatest boxers of all time. Her mma career isn't at its end yet. Floyd is undefeated with only a few fights left in him.We aren't talking about "someone with BJJ" here. We're talking about an Olympic medalist grappler. Rousey is as good a judoka as Floyd is a boxer -- in Rousey's world, she owns him. And vice versa, of course.
When you've been on the circuit as long as I have, you meet women from time to time, who, sometimes tend to make you want to buck up and get sideways with.
Like I said, how well does Lebron shot when no one is defending him? Im guessing 70%+. Go to an NBA game early once and watch the warmups. They can shoot for ten minutes without missing.
Come on you played basketball. You know there are guys who can shoot lights out in pickup games with guys guarding them. Doesn't make them NBA players but they can shoot.I don't understand the argument. Many people are better shooters than Lebron, but those players don't play in the NBA? someone is trying to say that a local guy shooting baskets is a better shooter with no one guarding him than Lebron? Well, that maybe the case, but I don't know of a game where someone gets to shoot without a defender unless the game is horse. I don't think Lebron has honed his skill set for horse.
That's what I have been saying. Lot of people can do that.
In a straight up shooting contest from spots on the court no D, I know girls who could beat Lebron
Any of us chumps meets Lebron on a court and he buries us shooting from anywhere. That is the case for 99.9% of the pickup basketball players in the world.

Tyler Hansbrough knocks them down in practice at a ridiculous clip. He's made 1 (.053%) in his 6890 NBA minutes.
I have seen high school girls drain basket after basket in shoot arounds. Is not brain surgery it's just shooting a basketball. Not saying LeBron can't shoot just that there are lots of people who are just as good shooting 25 footers as he is that aren't playing in the NBA.

Jayrod and his elite athleticism are the 0.1%!

Not saying they could beat him in a game of 1 on 1. But in a game like "around the world" shooting contest where you shoot 5 shots from 5 different spots on the court I know high school girls who make 20 of 25 shots time and time again. So yes they could beat himI hope you're fishing.In a straight up shooting contest from spots on the court no D, I know girls who could beat Lebron

Didn't say he couldn't. Didn't say they would beat him said they could. Just said there's high school girls who i know who shot around 80% fairly consistency in around the world. If you can do that,then you have a chance of beating anyone even LeBron James.
What ever dude. Bet you think Ronda Rousey kicks Mayweather ### to.
I get what you are saying even if they don't. I don't know any girls that are that good but there are guys that were better than LeBron at shooting the ball and never played a minute in the NBA. Guys like Jon Diebler would give him a run if not flat out beat him but don't have the talent to play at the NBA level. They are great shooters. One on one he loses everytime to LeBron but as far as pure shooting, he's there.
Lots of reasons My daughter plays, good friend of the coach. Two other girls living next door play and we have a goal and they are around shooting hoops most evenings.
Don't want to get exposed, better to keep the hype machine running full speed ahead.
Well this explains your delusion. Parents and coaches of kids sports are absolutely jaded by what they see.
we talked about this in the MMA thread.
I think I hit 1 HR in little league...
