Does LeBron really lack a good jumper?

And,,, is 3pt% a good indicator of a better shooter?

    No. I think Lebron has had a serviceable and very reliable jumpshot/fadeaway since 2009. It's just that people still stereotype him from when he first came to the league and all he could do was drive into the lane. That jumpshot rarely seems to miss nowadays. He's shooting what? over 50% FG, and that mid-range jumpshot is one of those big reasons why. Also his 3pt% was better than even Kobe Bryant's (which isn't saying much).

    A good 3PT% is a pretty good indication usually.. unless it's a player who only shot like 2 3's the entire season, ect.

    No. He is a great shooter. In closing game situations he will do a step back jumper and make it. He did that to Bulls. He is very clutch. And his 3 pointers are great. He is a very good jump shooter and driver. Like Pippen Said he is an all around player!

    Well if you actually watch his game he does get a good chunk of his points by just shooting the mid range jumper. Players play off of him so it gives him the cushion.

    His jumper is decent, but he knows how to compensate for that weakness. Now take Jordan, for example, he compensated for his weakness...wait, uh, I was wrong- he did not have one.
