Several NBA teams decided quite some time ago that LeBron James‘ jumpshot wasn’t worth planning for. It’s so hit or miss, it’s a better idea to make sure sure shooters like Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and, dare we say it, J.R. Smith are properly covered.
Last night, the Hawks deployed that strategy, and it nearly worked. Except LeBron’s shot was quite on. Even he seemed to understand the strategy at play, judging by this shrug-less Jordan shrug that the TV cameras caught.
