Well I guess you haven't looked at most posts... like mine:

Jump Shot: Steve Nash (already the best shooter ever, FG + 3PT + FT cumulative) / Ray Allen / Kobe Bryant
Jump Range: Lebron James / Chuck Person
Outside Def.: Gary Payton / Bruce Bowen
Handling: Pete Maravich / Rafer Alston
Driving: Lebron James / Dominique Wilkins / Allen Iverson
Passing: Magic / Nash / Stockton / Maravich / Bogues (best assist to turnover ratio ever)
Inside Shot: Shaq (almost 60% career avg)
Inside Def.: Ben Wallace / David Robinson / Tim Duncan / Hakeem Olajuwon / Many more
Rebounding: Wilt Chamberlain (Seasons of over 27 rpg)
Shot Blocking: Mark Eaton (3.50 bpg career avg)
Stamina: Wilt Chamberlain (47.2 mpg career avg)
Free Throw: Jose Calderon (2008-2009, 98.1%) / Steve Nash / Rick Barry / Mark Price
Experience: Oscar Schmidt (One of the best never to play in the NBA) / Robert Parish / Michael Jordan


This is an excellent list, one of the best I've seen. Any disagreement is mere quibbling. I wouldn't put Bruce Bowen on the list, and I find it odd that no one ever lists Scottie Pippen. Dennis Rodman belongs on any list for both rebounding and inside defense. That is not the same as saying he's better than Chamberlain. I would put Bogues on the Handling list.

Not sure why everyone is in love with Jose Calderon. He had that big streak, but I don't feel like he's even in the top 5 or 10 all time. This past year he shot 79% from the line. You're right on with Price Nash and Barry, but then you should have Reggie Miller and Larry Bird. Those guys all shot 88% or better for their _career_.

Still, one of the best lists on this thread. Kudos.

People fail to understand, that jump range is not "technically" the same as jump shot accuracy. Maybe in this game but for real, jump range is the ability to shoot from long distance. I've seen people in real games saying they had "good range", but they looked like catapults, missing the backboard or do some air balls.

Lebron takes actual jumpshots from over 30 feet, even 40. If that's not range... I don't know what it is. As for the video from Europe, that's a throw, because I failed to see the actual "jump" in it... but that's another thing. ;-)


No,that's not range,also Dwight Howard can score some basket form the half-court,but it doesn't give him the title of good jump range shooter
Lebron is capable of scoring a lot of from almost every position in the court,but there's a reason if who had to defend against him try to force him to shoot behind the arc,because he's not always so accurate in it

No, you're failing to understand the concept of "Jump Range". Jump Range isn't about how far you can take a jump shot from, it's about how consistently you can make a jump shot from distance, in this case, beyond the 3 point line. He doesn't even have a consistent mid-range game yet and you're talking about legendary jump range?

On the other hand, Lebron went 0-8 from 3 point range against the Bulls in the first round.

According to the rules:

Jump Range: A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.

So, higher JUMP RANGE equals to smaller lose of effectiveness from longer shots.

Lebron holds 50% FG this season, whilst a mediocre (actually lower than average league player) 3 point FG %; the same happens to Wade.

I believe Lebron would have a 16/10 were he a BB player; and legendary driving with sensacional IS. That's where he is EFFECTIVE.

Sorry, but who would you rather contest at the 3pt line: Nash or Lebron?

The canadian dude, well, HE is a wondrous+ JR, even if not better than prominent OD LOL.

Lebron would have an higher JS,JR and ID than you will give it,but surely he has great ups and downs in his outside/thrre point shoot,and it's impossible to give him a legendary rating in it

Dude, just look at the shot charts.

He's a phenomenal player, but that doesn't mean he should be freaking legendary in all stats.

If we consider that there's AT LEAST ONE player who's legendary in any given skill currently playing, and AT LEAST ONE who's atrocious too, with the rest meddling between, I would say Lebron is a:

16/10
14/16
20+/14
12/12
13/12
20/10

kind of player, and that is freaking awsome.
