Thought of shooting 60 percent from the field ain't entertaining LBJ

[irishock]

LeBron James shot 56.5 percent from the field last season for the Miami Heat, highlighted by a 21-game stretch in which he shot 63.2 percent from the floor and largely attributed to more focus toward scoring in the paint.
James was asked whether shooting 60 percent from the field is attainable for him this season.
"I don’t really set out goals as far as what I want to shoot from the field,” James said. “I know I want to take good shots and I know I want to be in attack and if that results in [60 percent] then it will be great, but I want to get the best shot for myself and for our team every possession.”
James acknowledged the possibility but did not want to entertain it.
“Nothing surprises me about that guy,” Shane Battier said. “As long as he’s willing to take the punishment of trying to shoot 60 percent, which means a few more rim attacks a game, it’s possible.
“I don’t know if he’s willing to take the punishment, because that takes a tremendous amount of punishment to shoot that high of a percentage. But if anyone can do it, he can do it.”

Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant has never shot 47% from the field for a season in his entire career. Even while playing with Shaquille, who was double and triple teamed on every possession.

Guys, please get back on topic. What you guys are doing is akin to OTing to Mookie blaylock when the topic was about whether Jordan can score 40 ppg for an entire season.
