His jumpshot in the clutch is awful, like around 20% lol

Good but not great. He's just so streaky, his jump shot will abandon him for long swathes of entire series, or he'll look like he can't miss for a while. It feels like there isn't a happy medium.

don't look at the numbers, look at his actions
i would never want him to take the big shot
i would never want him at the ft line. and in fact neither would he.
the most dependable shot he has is bulling his way to a layup and praying he doesn't get fouled
and btw, what exactly is "decent shooter". is that the same as average??
like sometimes he's good and sometimes he's bad makes him decent.

lebron is a great SCORER

Streaky shooter. Some days he can't miss and that will open up driving lanes and make defenses go crazy. Sometimes he can't hit a jumpshot to save his life.
We have 2014 James who was making it rain from everywhere on the court followed by 15 James who struggled to hit any jumpshot.
In the clutch, in the clutch... he drained it against Chicago and that was possibily the moment that defiend his streak going to the finals was still on. Otherwise they could go down 3-1, but sometimes people forget about that.
