Summary

TLDRこのスクリプトは、LeBron Jamesが毎晩驚くべきパフォーマンスを続け、今まで誰も達成できなかったような統計を上げていることを説明しています。しかし、彼のゲームの1つの分野で、彼が自分自身に設定した高い基準に達することができなかった三分球のシュートです。しかし、彼のシュートのメカニックが今年大幅に改善され、速度が向上し、よりコントロールを持ち、理想的な45°アークを狙えるようになったことが示されています。また、彼のシュートチャートからは、左翼からのシュートが大幅に向上していることがわかります。LeBronは、キャッチ&シュートからのシュート、そしてオープンシュートにおいて、より高いシュートパーセントを達成しています。この改善は、彼がプレイオフでさらに難しくなることを意味するでしょう。

Takeaways

  • 🏀 レブロン・ジェームズは毎晩素晴らしいパフォーマンスを続け、今まで誰も達成できなかったようなフィールドゴールを満載でいます。
  • 🔥 彼のキャリアでは、リム周りでのドミネーションと他のプレイヤーでは作れないパスを投げ、攻撃力を発揮していましたが、3ポイントシュートの分野では彼が自分自身に設定した高い基準に達することができませんでした。
  • 🎯 しかし、彼の3ポイントシュートの能力は今、平均的なシューターから大きく向上しており、彼の足の動きやシュートのタイミングが劇的に向上しています。
  • 🏃‍♂️ レブロンは、右足の着地から左足の着地まで、そしてジャンプからのシュートのリリースまで、一貫性をもっていました。
  • 💪 彼のジャンプシュートの力は、膝を曲げずに腕の動きと同時に膝を伸ばすことから得られると信じていましたが、実際には正しい同期と膝の伸ばしが重要です。
  • 📈 彼のアークは数度のシーズンで低下し、理想的な45°アークに近づいていています。これはボールが最も入れられるチャンスを持つアークです。
  • 🔄 右足の着地と同期してのシュートの比較では、彼の動きのタイミングが改善され、地面から離れる瞬間にボールが面前に位置しています。
  • 🤔 レブロンのシュートフォームのメカニカル問題は、彼の体型と自然な動き方法によるもので、右手の肘をゴールに向かせて完全に整列させるのは難しいです。
  • 📊 彼のシュートチャートを分析すると、彼のシュートの成功率が高いエリアがいくつかあることがわかります。特に左翼からのシュートは、彼がキャッチしてSHOTを取得する際に easier alignment が得られるため、合理的です。
  • 🚫 去年は左翼からのシュートが多く、彼がボールを受け取って右に向かってシュートを取得する必要があるため、彼はそのようなSHOTをあまり得ることができませんでした。
  • 💡 今シーズンは、彼が平均的な3ポイントシューターからより優れたシューターへと進化し、その新しい技術が季后赛にどのように影響するかに注目しています。

🏀レブロン・ジェームズの3ポイントシュートの改善

レブロン・ジェームズは、キャリアを通じてリム周りでの支配、独創的なパス、そして攻撃的な脅威としての役割で名を馳せましたが、3ポイントシューティングは彼の高い基準には達していませんでした。しかし、最近の彼の3ポイントシュートのメカニズムに注目すると、著しい改善が見られます。特に、シュートのディップの速度、リリースの速さ、膝の曲げ方の変化、そして球の放物線の調整により、理想的な45度の放物線に近づき、成功率が向上しました。また、バスケットへのアライメントと、特に左ウィングでのシュートの成功率が高いことも分析されました。彼の改善は、試合での3ポイントメイクの予測に自信を持って、ファンタジースポーツアプリ「Sleeper」での賭けにも影響を与えています。

Highlights

LeBron James continues to amaze with his consistent performance, filling up the box score night after night in a unique way.

Throughout his career, LeBron dominated around the rim and made passes few others could, serving as an offensive force that struck fear in his opponents.

One area of LeBron's game that didn't quite reach the lofty standards he set for himself was three-point shooting, based on his career percentages.

LeBron's three-point shooting has improved significantly, with a faster release and better load position, less knee bend to start.

The power in a jump shot comes from the proper synchronization of the arm swing up with the knee straightening, not just from the legs.

LeBron has lowered his arc this season, giving him more control over the ball flight and improving his shooting percentage.

LeBron's right foot plant timing has improved, syncing with the bottom of the dip and the moment the knees begin to straighten into the jump.

Last year, LeBron struggled with his shot due to his knees still bending down as the arm swings up, throwing off the timing of the release.

This year, LeBron's release time is significantly faster, allowing him to get contested shots off cleaner.

LeBron's alignment to the basket has been an issue, but he's adapted by turning his feet to the left, making it easier to attain alignment for his shots.

LeBron's shot charts reveal higher percentages from the left wing, as moving to his left on the catch makes alignment easier.

Cutting down on certain types of shots, like those from the left corner, has contributed to LeBron's increased shooting percentage.

LeBron's transition three-point shooting has seen a significant increase in both frequency and success rate.

LeBron's new mechanics, focusing on lower arc and better synchronization, have made him harder to guard and could potentially shift playoff games or series in the Lakers' favor.

Despite typically expecting a player's three-point percentages to decline with age, LeBron's improvement suggests otherwise.

LeBron's ability to improve his three-point shooting later in his career could be a new weapon for the Lakers in the playoffs.

Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, like LeBron, have seen improvements in their three-point shooting percentages.

Green's wide-open frequency has jumped, and he's bending his knees less, improving his posture and energy flow into the ball.

Butler's distinct two-motion shot might lack consistency, and his percentages could drift back down if he can't continue to generate wide-open shots.

LeBron James continues to amaze as he

play00:02

fills up the box score night after night

play00:04

in a way nobody has ever done before for

play00:08

his career he dominated around the rim

play00:10

threw passes few others could make and

play00:13

served as the kind of offensive force

play00:15

that struck fear in his opponents but

play00:18

there was one area of his game that

play00:20

didn't quite reach the lofty standards

play00:23

he had set for himself three-point

play00:25

shooting based on his percentages

play00:27

throughout his career it would have been

play00:29

reasonable to put in the category of

play00:31

average shooter until

play00:39

now on the left it's a shot in

play00:41

transition from last year and on the

play00:43

right from this year I sync them to the

play00:46

left foot plant since each catch was

play00:47

different and there's a very discernable

play00:49

difference in the speed of the dip

play00:52

notably on the way up after the right

play00:54

foot plants as a result the release is a

play00:57

lot faster his load position is also

play00:59

different less knee Bend to start as I'm

play01:02

sure he believed in the myth that the

play01:04

legs are the source of the power for the

play01:06

jump shot in fact the power comes from

play01:08

the proper synchronization of the arm

play01:10

swing up with the knee straightening

play01:12

into the jump as a result he's more

play01:15

upright to begin the jump and the ball

play01:17

moves better through the arm swing up

play01:19

and out into the release let's look at

play01:21

his Arc you can see that he's lowered

play01:23

his Arc several degrees this season

play01:26

which has given him a lot more control

play01:27

over the ball flight and based on a lot

play01:30

of shooting data has gotten them closer

play01:32

to that ideal 45° Arc that gives the

play01:35

ball the best chance to go in here's

play01:37

another comparison where I sync the

play01:39

right foot plant for each shot notice

play01:41

how the bottom of the dip is timed to

play01:42

the right foot plant on the right and

play01:44

the moment the knees begin to straighten

play01:46

into the jump the ball is in front of

play01:48

his face in last year's clip you can see

play01:50

the knees are still bending down as the

play01:52

arm swings up so the ball is already

play01:55

over his head by the time the knees are

play01:57

straightening to the jump this throws

play01:59

off the timing of the release in

play02:00

relation to the feet leaving the floor

play02:02

and explains why he struggled so much

play02:05

last year an added benefit is that the

play02:07

release time is significantly faster

play02:09

this year so he's getting contested

play02:11

shots off cleaner another mechanical

play02:14

issue that LeBron has is his alignment

play02:16

to the basket with the way he's built

play02:18

and his natural functional movement it's

play02:20

harder for him to get his right elbow

play02:22

aligned all the way to the hoop it tends

play02:24

to stick out quite a bit and he's been

play02:26

able to adapt by turning his feet to the

play02:28

left is also means it's a lot harder for

play02:31

him to shoot when going to his right

play02:33

since it requires a lot of extra turning

play02:35

to get aligned when examining his shot

play02:37

charts you see only a couple of areas

play02:40

where the percentage is significantly

play02:42

higher and that left wing has been the

play02:44

spot which makes a lot of sense since

play02:46

looking at his makes reveals him moving

play02:48

to his left on the catch meaning the

play02:50

alignment is a lot easier to attain when

play02:52

getting these shots off and it's also a

play02:54

function of the offense where he's been

play02:56

able to find a lot of shots either

play02:57

moving across the court towards the left

play02:59

wing and just letting them fly or just

play03:02

standing there and spotting up I think

play03:04

catching them with his body open towards

play03:06

the middle of the floor and then driving

play03:08

the right leg forward helps him to

play03:10

generate momentum and power if you

play03:13

compare his leftwing shots from last

play03:15

year you'll see another huge reason why

play03:17

the percentage was so low they Park him

play03:19

in the left corner a lot and have him

play03:21

lift to the wing to receive the pass

play03:23

notice how going to his right on the

play03:25

catch forces him to turn a lot more in

play03:27

order to find the alignment of his

play03:29

shooting hip and elbow it takes so much

play03:31

longer for him to get his feet set

play03:33

before launching the shot the rhythm is

play03:35

off because he was bending his knees too

play03:37

much and as a result he would brick

play03:39

these types of shots over and over

play03:41

thankfully you won't see him getting

play03:43

this action very much this year and I

play03:45

think cutting this type of shot down is

play03:47

a big reason why his percentage has gone

play03:49

up so dramatically I'll admit I wasn't

play03:52

sold at first on LeBron's ability to

play03:54

shoot this well from behind the ark this

play03:56

tweet got a lot of LeBron fans upset but

play03:58

he had only played an 11 games till this

play04:00

point now that he's got 55 games of data

play04:03

I'm confident in his ability to knock

play04:04

down the long ball so confident in fact

play04:07

that I'm willing to pick the over on

play04:08

LeBron's three-point makes on sleeper

play04:11

the ultimate fantasy sports app what's

play04:13

cool is that you can set your over under

play04:15

picks before the game or do it live

play04:17

while it's happening just pick at least

play04:19

two players and whether they'll get more

play04:21

or less from a host of different stats

play04:23

and you can win up to 100 times your

play04:25

money so I'm going to have to pick

play04:26

LeBron James more than one and a half

play04:28

threes tonight I I'm showing you the

play04:30

evidence already why he's shooting

play04:31

better I got a lot more coming up then

play04:33

we easily got to go to Steph Curry

play04:35

lighting up the bucks back court I think

play04:36

that they're not playing that great

play04:37

defensively so let's see him gets a

play04:39

bunch of points there shenon love him

play04:41

he's going to probably get a double

play04:42

double against the Clippers I really

play04:44

hope I think he's going to do it and

play04:45

then we got Damen Lillard going up

play04:46

against the Warriors defense I'm not

play04:48

sure if it'll be that hard for him to

play04:50

get 24 and a half points easy so a

play04:52

little bit of money 20 bucks down I can

play04:54

win up to $150 on this bet so you got to

play04:56

check out sleeper because there's a lot

play04:58

of ways to win a lot of money money and

play05:00

if you use my code bball 100 they'll

play05:02

match your first deposit dollar for

play05:04

dooll up to 500 bucks there are so many

play05:07

ways to win it raises the stakes when

play05:10

you watch it so what are you waiting for

play05:12

terms and conditions apply see sleepers

play05:13

terms of vied for details currently

play05:15

operational in over 25 States check out

play05:17

sleeper today so you can understand how

play05:19

I broke out a lot of different shooting

play05:21

splits to compare to last year and

play05:23

figure out what the numbers are telling

play05:25

us one key is with his catch and shoot

play05:27

percentage overall an incredible 11.6

play05:30

points better to be exact and comparing

play05:32

the shot charts he was pretty good in

play05:34

these from the right wing but nowhere

play05:36

else this season he's got three zones

play05:38

where he's just drilling shots and the

play05:40

right corner makes sense to me for that

play05:42

same alignment reason when in that

play05:44

corner passes come from his left more

play05:46

often than not which means his shooting

play05:48

hip and elbow are already aligned to the

play05:49

basket and shots from the corner tend to

play05:51

be more open anyway since a big reason

play05:54

why the pass is being made there is

play05:55

because the defense had to rotate off of

play05:57

LeBron another huge jump is is in wide

play06:00

open shots this newfound focus on Lower

play06:02

Arc and better synchronization of the

play06:04

ball dip and knee extension has paid off

play06:06

in a big way those open shots stay open

play06:09

because the release time is 2 seconds

play06:12

faster than last year and he's

play06:13

transferring the energy from his jump

play06:15

into the shot a lot better the last

play06:17

significant jump we see is in transition

play06:19

and it's astounding he's bumped up his

play06:22

frequency a lot and he's nailing at a

play06:24

20% higher clip of course he's doing

play06:27

most of the damage from that left wing

play06:29

where usually dribbles it up past half

play06:30

court and uses the massive threat of his

play06:32

drive to the basket to his Advantage as

play06:34

this man tends to give him plenty of

play06:36

room to light it up from downtown I love

play06:38

that he lets the ball float on this one

play06:40

enabling a good Rhythm dip into the shot

play06:43

essentially turning this into a catch

play06:44

and shoot shot and something everyone

play06:46

should be grooving for pull-ups I also

play06:48

did some back of the napkin math because

play06:50

I was curious whether something was

play06:51

going on League wide in terms of wide

play06:54

openen shots in this chart I listed the

play06:56

top ranked frequency and the 15th ranked

play06:58

frequency for the past several seasons

play07:00

on wide open shots turns out there does

play07:03

seem to be more wide open shots this

play07:05

season and it's not insignificant that

play07:07

said LeBron is taking less wide open

play07:09

shots this year but has cut down on his

play07:11

threes overall which undoubtedly helps

play07:14

his percentage by potentially

play07:15

eliminating one and a half extra tough

play07:17

shots each game but it might explain why

play07:20

two perennially three-point challenged

play07:22

players are lighting it up from downtown

play07:24

in small sample sizes both Jimmy Butler

play07:27

and Draymond Green are destroying their

play07:29

previous career highs in percentage in

play07:31

the case of green his wide open

play07:33

frequency has jumped almost nine points

play07:35

in the past he would bypass these shots

play07:38

without any confidence that he can make

play07:39

them but Curry's gravity is so strong

play07:42

and the defense's respect for green

play07:43

shooting so weak that he can lick his

play07:45

thumb and check the wind he's so wide

play07:47

open and this year he's bending his

play07:49

knees a lot less which is improving his

play07:52

posture and energy flow into the ball

play07:54

this was an easy fix that could have

play07:56

been done years ago but better late than

play07:59

never ever with Butler he's cut down on

play08:01

both his catch and shoot and pull-up

play08:03

frequency and yet both of these

play08:05

percentages are way up with his pull-up

play08:07

threes it's that same left wing and

play08:09

right corner we saw from LeBron's

play08:11

profile but I got to tell you there

play08:12

isn't a lot of pattern I can detect with

play08:14

these shots he's got a very distinct two

play08:17

motion shot where the ball will pause

play08:19

over his eyebrow before being released

play08:21

and typically guys who shoot this way

play08:23

lack consistency so I'd expect Butler's

play08:26

percentages to gradually drift back down

play08:28

unless he can continue to generate

play08:30

completely wide open shots so there you

play08:33

have it sports fans normally you can

play08:35

expect a player to improve their

play08:36

three-point percentages as they get

play08:38

older and towards the back end of their

play08:40

career since LeBron has played longer

play08:42

than just about anybody else ever it

play08:45

might seem like this newfound stroke

play08:46

took a lot longer than normal to develop

play08:48

and it remains to be seen if he can

play08:50

sustain this for the rest of the season

play08:52

and more importantly into the playoffs

play08:54

if the Lakers make it but if these new

play08:56

mechanics Hold Steady he'll have found a

play08:59

new weapon that can make him harder to

play09:01

guard as the Clippers found out recently

play09:03

Dom the stretch with their game and

play09:05

could potentially shift a whole playoff

play09:06

game if not a series in their
