Neither KG nor Lebron have reliable jump shots.

You can play off them, and make them go straight to where a defender can get help. That both of them can still put up 25+ on without a good jumper shows just how good they are - at the same time, it shows what a waste of talent both of them are.

A jump-shot is the only basketball skill than can be learned from scratch through hard work. Nobody is a natural shooter - it's all practice and repetition. Proper form, good arc, a quick release, etc...can all be developed through hard work.

D-Wade has enough of a jumper that defenses have to extend themselves which allows him to get to the rim and set up his teammates.

Guys like KG and Lebron spend their summers promoting the game in China rather than working on their game.

You can talk about their team-mates all you want - but until they maximize their own games, their failure to succeed is their own fault.
