LeBron James would’ve considered participating in 3-point contest if ASG was not in L.A.?
James told The Athletic he will not consider participating in the 3-point shootout. “Not when I can spend a Saturday night at home with my family,” he said.
LeBron James is shooting with 43% from the arc this season.
And if the NBA All-Star Game was not in Los Angeles, he would have considered participatint in the three-point contest.
But L.A. is LeBron’s second home and he will spend the Saturday with the family.
Per The Athletic, James made three more 3-pointers in Thursday’s win at Atlanta and is up to a staggering 43 percent from 3-point range. Given those gaudy figures, and given how confident he is right now shooting the 3, it’s plausible James could’ve competed in the 3-point contest at All-Star weekend — something he has never done before. And let’s be honest: If James called the league and said he wanted to participate, who would tell him no?
There’s only one problem. The All-Star game is in Los Angeles. Primarily for that reason, James told The Athletic he will not consider participating in the 3-point shootout.
