LeBron James has always been an adequate shooter from outside the paint — but at one point this season — he was shooting at an all-time low, and everybody noticed.
James — always the competitor — found fuel inside an Instagram post — that broked down those shooting woes to the digit.
“I actually saw on my Instagram feed that I was the worst-shooting player in the NBA.”
“I actually saw that when I woke up from a nap. I remember exactly when that was. Denver. Right before the Denver game, so I answered the call.”
