Even after winning his first NBA championship and third MVP award, LeBron James is not finished tinkering with his game. The Miami Heat star recently revealed that he has spent the offseason working on a hook shot that would diversify his skills in the post and give him yet another option to score.

It is part of his newly-embraced role in the post, which he employed during the 2011-2012 season to make him a more effective shooter and open up shots for his teammates on the perimeter.
