      Finally, instead of whining you provide evidence. That you're this upset about it is a problem. I need a link to the commercial you're talking about, or it's not true. That's how you argue. You don't just post petulant little asides.

    He appeared in a 2003 Nike commercial, LeBron James’s first. There were Julius Erving, Jerry West and George Gervin, sitting at a church altar, Williams relaxing in the front row, one leg crossed over the other while Bernie Mac orated. Williams’s street cred was a brand. “Got me a nice check for that,” he says.

      @@oncewckd6409 ok I clarify, doesn’t mean he is a shooter. And do you know why people don’t like him? Because he got fans like you who is arrogant and just try to ignore the other half of the sentence which is more important. The thing is he doesn’t have polished and various scoring skills as good as other great players when getting older like MJ or Jabbar. His game is so painful to watch sometimes. Even if he got #1 all time points I still don’t like his play style and that’s definitely just a personal taste thing. That’s why I say it doesn’t mean anything, to me it doesn’t mean anything.

      @@JM-ci3wh lol how am I arrogant if you’re the one who said it didn’t mean anything? How do you expect me to read what you have to say if you’re going to make crazy statements to prove a point? Free throws are not a good marker to say somebody isn’t a shooter. Lebron has a higher 3pt% than MJ on more shots, he has pretty much the same percent of 3 pointers as Carmelo Anthony who is KNOWN as a pure shooter and Lebron has more 3pt attempts and made shots than Melo. Lebron has a higher clutch percentage of shots to tie the game or put his team ahead than any other player in the history of the NBA including Jordan, Kobe, KD. Lebron scored more points than MJ and Kobe on less shot attempts which means is a more efficient scorer. Surely that says something about his shooting as well. To say he isn’t a shooter is weird, he meets the qualifications of a shooter but we don’t acknowledge it because he is just so skilled at all other aspects of the game. He is a better passer and rebounder than MJ and a lot of the greats and his basketball IQ and playmaking is legendary. We are so used to seeing him posterize and have monster dunks that we forget he can also shoot
