PG-Oscar Robertson

SF-KG, as he played SF but maybe the GE would call him PF

I can agree that LeBron has a significant Jump Range skill, since distance seems to not affect his shot very much. He is just so poor with his Jump Shot skill that he clunks it from just about anywhere

This past season, LeBron shot 50.3% from the field, and 33.3% from behind the arc. Granted his FG% was a career high, but both of these numbers are really good, especially for a player that gets double-teamed an awful lot. Looking deeper, he averaged 20.8 FGAs per game and 4.3 3PTAs per game, so about 20% of his shots were from 3PT range. That's 1 out of every 5 shots! And he still averaged over 50% from the field!

You have to acknowledge the fact that more than a third of LeBron's shots were layups/dunks, which he converted at a .680 and .960 clip, respectively

Take these out, and he's shooting a pretty pedestrian .440 eFG% on Jump Shots. So no, LeBron is not a great jump shooter.

Fisher's OD is legendary? Really?
Dragic's driving?

Did you just start watching basketball in April?

For Current NBA:

Jump shot: Ray Allen
Jump Range: J.R. Smith
Outside Def: Ron Artest
Handling: Steve Nash
Driving: Dwayne Wade/Lebron James/Kobe Bryant (I couldn't choose one)
Passing: Steve Nash
Inside Shot: Pau Gasol
Inside Def: Kevin Garnett
Rebounding: Dwight Howard
Shot Blocking: Dwight Howard
Stamina: Dwayne Wade
Free throw: Steve Nash
Experience: Ray Allen

Some honorable mentions that I think could be considered for some spots, but I left out:

Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki



Dirk probably has the best jumpshot, followed by Durant; Ray Allen is the best 3pt shooter, so the JR goes to him. Kevin Love could currently challenge Dwight for the Rebounding title; and Chris Paul might be the best outside defender. The Experience title should go to Shaq though.
