Lebron made it to the finals with that cleveland team.

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

4-6 is around his average, I think he shot 67% last season, that's 66.7%. If he can ever become a 75% FT shooter, that would be solid.

EDIT: Sorry, 65.7% last season

Sure he **** up my point going 0-2 that last time up, BUT was 4-4 before that.

Anyway, even if he's shooting around his average it shows at the very least he CAN change the routine, and it doesn't have to be this whole drawn out affair every time at the line.

He's shot well as a whole for the game though, so might be looking up, only the future will tell, right
