LeBron’s been in a bit of a shooting funk lately, and it’s got everyone talking.
LeBron’s Long-Range Woes
Let’s face it, the Lakers have been riding the LeBron wave for years, but their recent 80-point flop against Minnesota was a wake-up call. When the shots aren’t falling, the rumors start flyingโlike whispers about snagging a new center. LeBron had a rough night, putting up just 10 points, his lowest this season. And while his career scoring is legendary, his current three-point drought is becoming a storyline of its own.
Close Call with the Record Books
LeBron managed to scrape together enough for 10 points, keeping his streak of 1,243 games with double-digit scoring alive. But man, those threes! He’s missed his last 19 attempts from downtown. It’s his second-worst streak ever, only topped by a dry spell back in 2004. If he misses six more, he’ll set a new record for most consecutive missed threes. Yikes!

The Age Factor
LeBron’s almost 40, and he’s feeling it. He admitted his shot “just feels off,” and he’s averaging 22 points per game, his lowest since his rookie year. He’s still aiming to play all 82 games this season, but Coach JJ Redick is being realistic. “I donโt know if thatโs in the best interest of him and us,” Redick said. If you ask me, managing his minutes might be the key to keeping him fresh for the playoffs. What do you think?
So, here’s the big question: Can LeBron turn it around and avoid that unwanted record, or are we witnessing the twilight of a shooting star?
