and durants is .64
that's even worse because it gives more strength to 3pt%. all of these advanced statistic are a lil bit shady to me.

just go by each number individually if you want an accurate view of a players strengths and weaknesses. trying inflate 3pt% because its worth an extra point is misleading.
I'll give you an example.
random dude shoots 32% for the season. sports writer knows random dude is popular so he invents a new stat that plays to random dudes strengths and downplays his weaknesses.
now his 32% from the field is equal to 50% because making contested shot should count as double. Sounds legit to me.
there is no more difficult or easier shot fool.
You make no sense. There are more difficult shots than others. Stop waving the Melo pompoms.there is no more difficult or easier shot fool.
its determined by a players skillset.
shooting a three is easier for Durant than dunking on a 7 footer in a low post back to basket situation is.
and the opposite is true for shaq.
there is no generalized difficulty of shots.
if shaqs style of play is easier than why doesn't everybody play like that?
like a hookshot is more difficult than a jumper, but your statistician doesn't give that more credit.
close to the basket players do get credit which is why tyson chandler has some of the highest TS%'s of all time. it's shaqs fault he couldn't hit freethrows.like a hookshot is more difficult than a jumper, but your statistician doesn't give that more credit.
melo pompoms
you the one arguing melo's side dumbass,
im saying close to the basket players deserve at much credit for post moves as shooter deserve for three pointers.
I'm talking efficiency as far as big men go, shaqs shots were efficient, the issue with shaq was the fact that he sucked at freethrows. it's shaqs fault that he left over 5000 points on the floor during his entire career. and yes a dunk/hook etc is a easier shot then a 3pt attempt
tyson chandler breh?
No seriously
You talking about the difficulty of shots and you use tyson chandler as an example?
That nicca Melo did work, tho. Funny. Was just having a conversation about how Melo could never lead a team to a chip, then he goes out and drops buckets like that.
then why doesn't every bigman just go into the paint and score 30 a night off of dunks and hooks?
every big men isn't Shaq Oneal, shaq is one of the most skilled big men of all time. as far as a variety of shots outside of the paint he wasn't efficient. it's not a knock on him as a player it was his skillset he's a post player. in this thread we are comparing 2 JUMP SHOOTERS which is why were are utilizing FG%, eFG% as well as TS%. if you want to continue discussing shaq go that way --------------->
him for it. If nikkas could just leave it at that it would be all good.
