Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4354815, member: 7511"] 38% is arbitrary in that you choose it as your benchmark for Lebron James to indicate that anything below is not very good. For the record, the average overall 3-pt shooting percentage last year in the NBA is 34.2. So Lebron is an “above average” 3-pt shooter for his career. In his 19 seasons in the NBA, James shot above 34.2% in 11 seasons, including each of the past three. That’s excellent for a player that can literally get to the basket anytime he wants. While the percentage of scoring that comes from the 3-pt line in the NBA has been increasing, it currently sits at 39%. That means that 61% of all points scored in the NBA come from 2-pt range or the foul line. So “factually speaking” the NBA is still a 2-pt league. [/QUOTE]
