LeBron James transitioned from rookie basket and mid-range shooting to three-pointers

When LeBron first entered the league, it was a league dominated by O'Neal, Duncan and other tall big men, who mostly played inside.

He now chooses to throw three-pointers more than he has in other seasons.

In his first two seasons in the league, James was very active at the bottom of the basket and had a lot of mid-range shots.

In the last three seasons, James, like everyone else, has given up some mid-range shots and opted more for three-pointers.
