JFC, LeBron is insane. I thought the game started at 8:15 EST so I missed the first half, but what a stat line. I guess all the talking heads and so-called fans that left the Cavs for dead after they lost ONE GAME against Boston can STFU now.
Epi, I agree Kobe takes really difficult shots, and always has. This is no excuse, but when you're used to taking and making so many, you just always think you will make them. You never shoot thinking "damn, this ain't goin in" it's just another shot. And, tbh, once you get older, you can no longer explode by guys and get to the rim, and you don't have the lift in your legs that you once had.
LBJ has had this syndrome for quite some time now too. Settling for fade away 3s, or 25/26 ft. 3s, when he can explode and get to the basket anytime he wants.
