The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James discussed his focus on refining his 3-point shooting as his career progresses, emphasizing the importance of garnering respect from opponents and forcing them to defend him on the perimeter.
He noted that teams prefer him to shoot from the outside, making it crucial for him to continue developing his long-range shooting to remain a multifaceted threat on the court.
“I want to be respected and teams have to play me from the outside,” James said. “That’s still kind of one thing teams [think] still, ‘If we have to give up something, we’d much rather him shoot the ball from the outside.’”
