if you take 19 shots to make 4 are you a good three point shooter

no

but if you take 15 shots and make 6 you're good

and if you got banned from taking one of those shots for 2 years and had a broken limb for another and only really took 12 shots and made 6. you're an amazing three point shooter


4 for 19 is bad

6 for 12 is great


taking more shots and still coming up short just means you suck.

It's stupid. Longevity is just based on if you had good enough teammates when you were old. Like kareem, he's a perfect example. He won a few rings being in a f'n wheelchair but played with magic and worthy so people add it to his resume.

All you need is 7-8 all-star selections and thats it. Kawhi in a few years should be compared to any all time great assuming you like his peak just as much.

You basically described Kobe's career, even more so when he was LeBron's current age, what did he shoot? Like 35 fg%?? :lol

To be fair, Kareem was still producing at a very high level into his late 30's. But he was basically a role player in his last 2 years in the NBA and by no means was he all-star level when he won his last chip.

Steph is not a better hooter than Ray and Reggie because he takes/attempts way more three-pointers than they ever had. Is that what you are saying OP?
