He hits like 75% of his FT's. Had it 80% for a few weeks this season. You act as if he he shoots like Shaq.
James has hit more than one game-winning jumpshot.
Just let the haters hate and watch the ship's pile up.
An injury destroying his athleticism would though. Lebron's jumpshooting and post game isn't anything to write home about. He gets his mainly due to the fact that he's 275 with point guard speed.
And no, Lebron isn't better than Eligin Baylor right now. He'll probably surpass him, but as of right now? Funny joke.

Bryant > James.
and why did Courtney freaking Lee dominate James when they played. A Rookie? Thats 4 inches and 40 pounds lighter?
Name me a jumpshot winner he did other than the one 1-2 weeks ago.
Im not hating, i just dont see how the best player in the game cant do anything consistently other than bulldoze to the rim for a dunk.
Off the top of my head:
March 22, 2006 in OT vs. Charlotte
April 10, 2006 @ Oklahoma City
April 28, 2006 Game #3 EC Playoffs @ Washington
... in addition to the shot he hit against Golden State.
He also has game-winning lay-ups:
May 3, 2006 Game #5 EC Playoffs vs. Washington
May 31, 2007 Game #5 EC Finals @ Detroit
Jan. 30, 2008 @ Portland
Lay-ups and dunks count for two points, just like jump shots.
jumpshot winner
Like others have said, he doesn't have the body of work that would put him on the level of Bird, Hondo, Baylor and a few others. Accomplishments and production for a sizeable stretch matter.
However, he's been playing at a level only Bird topped consistently and it would be of no surprise if in a few years he deserves to be called the best SF of all times - or even the best player ever.
Lay-ups and dunks are also worth two points and count just as much as jump shots.
I could give a , but jumpshot winner does not sound right.
First of all, "off the top of my head" <Yeah right, Rain Man.
Second, hitting the last shot of the game doesn't make it a game winner. And considering he's the guy with the ball in his hands 100 percent of the time for his team, that's not a large number of clutch buckets. Shane Battier has about the same number and he's like the fifth option on his own team.
LBJ is great, but don't act like he's clutch.
Who the cares if its a jumpshot or a layup/dunk?
Well I looked up the dates...First of all, "off the top of my head" < Yeah right, Rain Man.
I don't have to act like he's clutch. I know he's clutch. I've watched him play long enough and often enough to know that. And what does that mean, 'hitting the last shot doesn't make it a game-winner?' Every shot I listed came inside five seconds and put the Cavaliers in the lead. How are those not game-winning shots? What's the difference between a shot at the buzzer and a shot at 0.3, like the one in Portland last year?Second, hitting the last shot of the game doesn't make it a game winner.

People act like he's Chris Webber, like he's some kind of choke-dog. That's bull . The reality is he's not that good of a jump shooter. Isolation plays that end with him launching from twenty feet aren't his forte, whether it's the beginning of the first quarter or the end of the fourth. That's a flaw in his game, not in his makeup.
He's willing to take over down the stretch when he has to. He takes responsibility. He doesn't shy from it. And more often than not, he comes through. Sometimes he doesn't. But that doesn't make him a choker, which is the implication when he's accused of being "not clutch."
Looks like the one 1-2 weeks ago =P
Once again...is that the only game winning jumpshot he ever had?
