At 37.7 percent, <strong>he\u2019s on pace for his highest single-season 3-point percentage&nbsp;as a Cavalier<\/strong>. In fact, LeBron\u2019s 2016-17 3-point percentage tops his first championship season in Miami (36.2 percent) and slightly trails his last season with the Heat (37.9 percent).<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"zh-cn\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LeBron&#8230;for 3! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBARapidReplay?src=hash\">#NBARapidReplay<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBAXmas?src=hash\">#NBAXmas<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BTm5bJJaT1\">pic.twitter.com\/BTm5bJJaT1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/813131345601839104\">2016\u5e7412\u670825\u65e5<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>That might not seem like a huge deal at first glance, but remember: LeBron was atrocious from deep&nbsp;last season. He made just 30.9 percent of his 3s in 2015-16, the worst non-rookie season of his career. Yes, the Cavs won the title anyway, but only by the slimmest of margins. Imagine how unstoppable Cleveland can be if LeBron\u2019s knocking down 3s, too.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to imagine it; we\u2019re seeing that very scenario play out on a nightly basis for the Cavs this season. Anyone worried that LeBron might sacrifice play-making and drives to the rim to shoot more 3s isn\u2019t paying attention. He\u2019s picking his spots like the basketball genius he is.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a more well-rounded LeBron gives Kyrie Irving even more room to operate as the primary ball-handler in Cleveland.&nbsp;When everyone around Irving (except for Tristan Thompson) is a knockdown shooter, then there\u2019s very little one can do to defend the Cavs successfully.<\/p>\n<p>The threat of a LeBron 3 spaces the floor unlike any other player. Try to play up on him, and he\u2019ll blow right past you. Sag off of him, and he\u2019ll look over the top of the defense for a perfect pass to a wide-open teammate.<\/p>\n<p>And these days, should you dare him to shoot, LeBron is more than happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a side of his game we haven\u2019t seen in Cleveland, which should terrify the rest of the league \u2014 especially since he made a concerted effort to improve his 3-point shooting this offseason. As we saw with his post game in Miami, the results speak for themselves&nbsp;when LeBron dedicates himself to improving a certain facet of his game.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s the same song, different verse this time around in Cleveland. If LeBron is going to play the most complete basketball of his career at age 32, the rest of the NBA is officially on notice. The Cavs are the title favorites until the King decides otherwise.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one aspect of LeBron James\u2019 game that abandoned him over the past couple seasons is back \u2014 and if this trend holds, the rest of the NBA is almost certainly doomed.
