LeBron James said Lakers can't shoot, and a historically bad start to season has confirmed as much
CBSN
Only one team in history with at least 100 3-point attempts has posted a worse three-game mark than L.A.'s 21.2 percent
After a season-opening loss to the Warriors in which the Lakers missed 30 of their 40 3-point attempts, LeBron James morphed into Captain Obvious when he offered the following quote: "To be completely honest, we're not a team constructed of great shooting. It's not like we're sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team."
Take that as a shot at the front office for this poorly constructed roster, or simply as a man telling an irrefutable truth. Either way, it's an understatement.
Through the first three games of the season (all losses, by the way), the Lakers, as a team, are 25 for 118 from 3-point range. That's an ice-cold 21.2-percent clip. Per ESPN Stats and Info, that is the second-worst 3-point percentage for any team in history that has taken at least 100 3-pointers over any three-game span.
