I just got done reading a little article on ESPN called “What if LeBron took 30 shots a game “by Tom Haberstroh. LeBron had just come off a win scoring 39 points against the Mavericks. He only took 18 field goal attempts to reach to reach that score. This is crazy due to the fact that he was making most all of his shots in a league where there are players who defend the rim at all costs. Also because most other players have to take 30+ shots to even reach 30 points.  The Monday before Rudy Gay (Toronto Raptor Forward) took 37 shots and had a total of 29 points. This is more than twice as many attempts as LeBron with only 29 points.  This was the most LeBron had ever scored with 18 attempts or fewer. I believe he is getting better as the season goes on and will be the best he has ever been by the end of the season. He has just gotten off his recent NBA Championship and now is hungry for another. If he is able to do this he will have gotten his first three peat and possibly started to be compared to the greatness of Michael Jordan. After his game against the Mavericks he was asked about his reaction about other players shooting 30 times or more. “Um…If you give me 37 shots in a game, I’d have 60 ... 70.” He also said “I had [almost] 40 now with 18 shots, I mean ... If you give me 37 shots in a game, I’d put up 60. Easy.” After he said that I thought about how crazy it would be if he was able to score that much. James’ scoring average is 1.6875 points per attempt and 37 times 1.6875 is 62. 4. According to the math he technically would be scoring 60-70 points a game if he took almost 40 shots. LeBron is a crazy talented and athletic basketball player but it is very uncharacteristic for him to be taking over 30 shots. He is a team player but will do whatever it takes to get the win.
