Almost 39 and he's somehow having his most efficient season ever. Looks way more explosive than he did in the playoffs and has good lift on his jumpshot again. Dude might fuck around and still dominate into his 40s.

his FT issues are so bizarre

[–] Mroagn@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He's always been worse at free throws than everything else (that is, just passable vs. transcendent). Back when the bulls were good and I was a LeBron Heatles hater, I would always bring up his ~70% free throw percentage

Yeah for sure hahaha. I was a teenager back then, I grew up and realized how lame hating is. You gotta appreciate the man now for his amazing career.

It was also a lot more personal when there was a genuine chance of the bulls winning but we kept getting owned by Lebron. Ever since we traded Jimmy I've been a lot less invested

I still remember one game in like 2015 where he missed a ft for 50 points, my hater ass (since rehabbed) was beamin in my uni lecture checking play by play

He has mental issues with them. I think it’s a big reason why he sucks at them in the clutch too. He always changes his routine depending on slumps.

[–] bigwiz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Right? Always seems to miss the first

It’s like the one thing god has taken from him to prevent him from being perfect. That and his hair lol.

[–] aquatic_ambiance@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

that one year in miami when he shot like 40% on threes and 68 on FT

Like Messi being meh at penalties and also like 5'5

[–] dBlock845@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

More like being meh at penalties but a god at any free kick outside the box lol. Being 5'5" helps him have some of the best balance I've ever seen an athlete have.

being short definitely helps in soccer

[–] ausmosis_jones@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’s 5’7” bro. Don’t do him dirty like that. Every inch matters when you’re under 5’10”

[–] mojoback_ohbehave@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hairline been fixed . But yeah , he does have that Manu bald spot in the back going on. He could get that fixed too if he really wanted to, just saying .
