Most recently Rudy Gay. 30 points on 11/37 shooting

:applause:

Was expecting lame/uninteresting stats but those are actually pretty damn weird. Duncan's FT% is :wtf: almost no other players seem to have that much variance in their ft%.

Also how'd you get the screenshot of the single column?

Quite unusual for a jump shooter.

The title is weirdest NBA stats ever. That's not that weird... something that is weird/interesting is K Love close to leading the league in both offensive rebounds and 3 pointers (not sure the actual numbers)

Yup. Came across it when I was checking Bosh's 0-18 FG performance last week after answering some NBA trivia on Sporkle. Did surprise me as well.

Just tried it using Parallels and Win8 and it worked. Live and learn.

The shortcut is an OS X feature. Parallels runs ON TOP of OS X, essentially running two operating systems at once.

So is it alt+shift+3 for Windows? You said the shortcut isn't exclusive to Macs right?

[Joyner82reload]

David Wesley for worst game in NBA history

28 MP 0-13 FGA 0-12 3PA 0 points 1 rebound 1 assist 2 steals 0 blocks 4 turnovers 4 PF

Playoffs too, even taking into account sample size.


For a guy that's supposed to have the best fundamentals, that's pretty crazy.

He's always shot them the same way, line-drive. I guess calling him *consistently* inconsistent from the stripe wouldn't be too logic-stretching.

Gotcha.

It's Command+Shift+4 for mac, sorry about typo. No idea what the equivalent for Windows is.

Guess this one is worth considering. See how this one shapes out.

[sbw19]

So far this season, 9 of the top 12 in 3pt makes are shooting 40% or better from distance.

[T_L_P]

For a guy that has the best fundamentals, that's pretty crazy.

Agreed.

[TaLvsCuaL]

quoting myself from another thread


Denis Rodman never averaged more than 0.9 steals or 0.9 blocks.

[hangintheair]

Dennis Rodman with 0pts and 28rebs on 45 mins

he also holds the record with 0pts and 20+ rebs on 7 different occasion.

Never made sense to me- guys who can stroke the ball from deep during game play but can't hit a non contested, closer, free shot. Bowen couldn't miss from the damn corners, but put him at the charity stripe- completely different story. Wonder why that is.

I don't know if it had been mentioned, but the Heat lost all their 4 games to the Nets this season. 3 of these defeats came by 1 point each and the 4th one came in 2 OT.

Kind of a weird one...

[Bless Mathews]

Kobe Bryant's hometown of lower merion, pa has the 5th highest per capita income in the United States.

Lower merion , pa's population

As of the 2010 census, the township was 85.7% White, 5.6% Black or African American, 0.1% Native American, 6.0% Asian, and 1.9% were two or more races. 3.0% of the population were of Hispanic or Latino ancestry.[3]

It's no coincidence that the majority of Kobe Stan's are spoiled, white kids that are little bitches.

Just like Kobe.

2nd best white player to ever play in the league.

Free throws are the more nerve wrecking shots in basketball (crunch time or not). The game is stopped, the audience is aware of who got fouled and their eyes are on that fouled player as they anticipate him to shoot FTs. You don't think that player isn't thinking of said audience?

For Bowen in particular I am assuming his corner 3s are money because most audience's eyes are on either Duncan, Parker, or Ginobili who are the focal point of the spurs offense. Bowen stands in the corner mentally and physically ready to shoot (with the audience's eyes away from him). When he does get the ball, he already unleashed the ball w/ the crowd's attention just barely registering Bowen's existence.

Dwight shoots 80% in practice. Its mostly mental with these guys. Obviously some are just terrible (Drummond)
