Interesting.

One guy has unlimited range, one guy is good from 3, and layups, but awful at midrange. It's easier to guard a guy who sucks so badly in an aspect.

Wasn't he right at the top of the charts for his midrange game last year?

That's because will get the soft foul calls that Lebron doesn't get.

Lebron awful at midrange? He's one of the best in the game.

Jeez, watch the game.

Nope. Witness Rondo posted the chart about a month ago from last season. I think it was on Grantland. I'll see if I can find it.

That's probably true.

He barely even shoots there. He knows he's lacking.

vs Durant

Lebron is able to power his way to the basket unlike Durant.

Many of Lebron's midrange shots on that chart are off-balance bailout shots

lmfao @ the thought of Bronze taking the "bail out shots"

Why doesn't Durants chart list percentages?

I don't know. You could email Grantland.

Why bother posting it if the data is incomplete? It's worthless.

As far as being tougher to cover. In a vacuum it's Durant because of his superior length. However Lebrons superior passing ability and strength in the post closes that gap on the court.

It's not incomplete. It's just not the data you want. There is a difference. Learn it.

One chart shows percentages the other does not hence data is incomplete. Understand?

The data is 100% complete. It's just a different data set in each. Understand?

Your chart is ass and incomplete using it to bolster your argument is disingenuous. It's a shame too because I agree with Durant being a tougher cover. It's just your examples suck all sorts of balls.
