Dirk took 14,000 midrange shots and hit 46% of them

Cool. Dirk had a bigger volume

No, MJ had far greater volume and it isn't close

No one is on MJ's level from midrange based on volume efficiency or clutch

Or eye test - goat elevation on jumpshot.. goat jumpshooting form.. goat 2-point jumpshooter and scorer... BY FAR

How could Dirk have had more volume when Jordan made 100 more midrange shots in their best respective seasons?

Phew... Talk about a thread backfire.

This thread isn’t about their best respective season?

MJ showed at his peak and Dirks peak though he was by far the best at midrange. That's the point. That's why he's the GOAT to have super power athleticism AND GOAT shooting skill.

I'm surprised Garnett is top 3 all time as well. He did have a nice turn around J and spot up pick and pop from straight away though.

Yeah but Dirk on shear volume (14000 shots) is the clear goat

Jordan's midrange volume was probably highest from 91-93' when he was basically a god of sorts

His jumpshooting skill was unmatched and 1st three-peat Jordan also had a 2022 handle back in 1991 - goat athletic talent - that's why guys like Kobe and Tmac who got to watch MJ's relatively original handle are infact inferior athletic talents - Jordan was doing 95% of what they did NATURALLY

How about lebron? What is his midrange fg%?

[kawhileonard2]

Dirk beat Lebron without HCA. Dirk also lost to Jason Richardson with HCA as the #1 seed.

[iamgine]

I think Durant has the higher % by quite a bit.

This is gonna look bad. Really bad...

One of the greatest players to touch a basketball and one of my favorites of all time; Dirk:cheers:

He's shooting 55% from mid range this season :bowdown::bowdown:
