Bron really said fuck it I'm getting shooters and it worked. That post deadline offense was beautiful
Lakers fans: James said there was going to be a shooter, so there was a shooter. Needless to say, the Cavaliers' offense after the trade is really good

Is there a point at looking at the stats during the game? Is he going to see who’s shooting better and be more likely to pass to them?
