LeBron James casually drained a half-court shot at All-Star practice

NBA All-Star weekend is a time for the NBA’s most exceptional players to show off their most exceptional skills. And LeBron James wouldn’t be left behind in showing off some of the great things he can do.

Both Team LeBron and Team Giannis had their All-Star Saturday practices, which usually consist of the players challenging each other in little one-on-one battles and ending with some sort of shooting competition.

In the shooting competition for Team LeBron, James casually swished a half-court shot with very little effort.

From Mike Singer of The Denver Post:

James has become a much better deep three-point shooter over the years. What was once a weakness in his game has become one of his strengths now that he is in his 16th season.

And, since there are some rumors about James not quite being in playing shape, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him rely even more on his deep three-point shot in tomorrow’s main All-Star event.
