Look no further for the league’s goofiest 3-pointer. It is LeBron James.
After his 0/7 against the Pelicans in the middle of the week, the Lakers star followed up with another zero point (0/5) this night against the Jazz.
Since the start of the season, he has posted a very weak 20.7% success rate behind the arc. Unheard of in the career of the player who has been running at 34.5% since his debut in the big league. StatMuse notes that he is currently the most clumsy player among those who have tried their luck at least 50 times by far.
The explanation for this clumsiness is largely due to the state of health of the 37-year-old veteran, author of 17 points (7/19 in total), 11 rebounds and 8 assists this night.
No energy, no rhythm
Darvin Ham specifies that he has been the victim of an intestinal virus for several days. “ I don’t know exactly, but I think that was it and it’s something that went around. You are bound to be weak when you cannot eat or rest properly. “explains the coach.
The interested party, who could not participate in the Halloween party with his teammates, explains that he has been bedridden since last Sunday. He says himself that he is out of energy. ” I felt like a little better than Wednesday (against the Pelicans). I’m not 100% but I’m getting close “, displays the “King”, who might have done better to rest but still hopes to progress in the next few hours, by the reception of the Cavs on Sunday.
While his selection of long-distance shots, especially at the end of the game, can also explain his clumsiness, LeBron James says in any case that he has lost his rhythm.
” Not just 3-pointers, I’ve been short on a few layups. I feel like I can’t find my rhythm. I couldn’t train, because I was advised to save energy for matches. I can’t wait to get back to training, and work on my shooting like I always do between games. »
