3 all time greats and Karl Anthony Towns
That is an r/nba worthy random arbitrary stat selection there
MJ needs an asterisk
Did that at 21 years old btw
Some other great shooters and how they stack up
– Jokic: 667/97 in 2022
– Harden: 465/378 in 2019
– Steph: 403/402 in 2016
– KD: 657/192 in 2014
– Wade: 766/88 in 2009
– Dirk: 641/110 in 2006
– Bird: 783/98 in 1988
I also checked Derozan’s season last year given his penchant for 2P shooting, but he was way off on 3s: 724/50
EDIT: I did also pull KAT’s, just to see how cherry-picked this is, and it’s pretty bad- he had 701 2s, and 101 3s.
Think Wemby could be a candidate to land on this list eventually?
Game has changed so much that it went from the MJ prototype to now I’m wondering which center will be able to do it lol. Jokic maybe?
Do note that Jordan’s were both on a shortened 3 point line.
I miss KAT post ups a bit, he was really great at low block.
The new driving wrinkle is pretty cool too, but it’s surprising how much he moved away from the post
Changed the game
Should MJ’s even count?
Dale Ellis in 88-89 missed the cutoff by 5 2 pters. Had 695 2’s, 162 3’s.
Changed the game
One of these things is not the same
What is a weird random stat nobody asked about for 200 Alex
Oh yes, the r/nba special: a boring cherry-picked stat that proves nothing at all
Karl Anthony towns changed the game
One of these is not like the others
One of these is not like the others 😂
