LeBron the Shooter
LeBron James is coming off his best season ever as a three-point shooter and just hired a head coach who not only values the outside shot but has openly stated he wants LeBron taking more threes. Pete and Darius discuss LeBron's evolution as a shooter, how his teammates' individual games help influence his shot selection, and what types of actions the Lakers have run in the past and can run under JJ Redick to help LeBron continue to thrive from behind the arc.
