LeBron James gets no votes for “Which player would you like to shoot with the game in play?”

Although he has managed many winning shots during his legendary career, LeBron James received no votes in a new poll of NBA general managers who were asked to name the player they would like to shoot. with the game in play.

James, who is preparing to enter his 18th NBA season, has not been completely ignored by general managers. He was named the league’s most versatile player and best passer.

However, James’s name was nowhere to be found on the list of players known for their ability to deliver the game in the balance. The list of players rated better than James in this category is included below.

Which player would you like to shoot with the game in play?
1. Damian Lillard, Portland – 32%
2. Stephen Curry, Golden State – 25%
3. Kevin Durant, Brooklyn – 18%
4.Luka Doncic, Dallas – 11%
5. Chris Paul, Phoenix – 7%
> Also receiving votes: Devin Booker, Phoenix; Jamal Murray, Denver
> Last year: Stephen Curry – 44%

Last year, Curry won this category with 44% of the vote, but after seeing limited action during the 2019-20 campaign, he was at least temporarily impeached by Lillard.

Aside from being ranked as the top player in those other two categories, James can also take pride in the fact that his Los Angeles Lakers team are the prohibitive favorites to win this season’s NBA title.

The Lakers received 81% of the votes in the poll, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers, who were selected by just 11% of general managers.

James and the Lakers begin their quest for back-to-back titles on Tuesday when they face the Clippers at Staples Center.
