Jordan: 50%
Magic: 52%
Bird: 50%
Dream: 51%
Kareem: 56%
Shaq: 57%
Duncan: 51%


kobe is shooting a pathetic 45%,

46%

good enough as a role player,

How many 3s did those players shoot? Adjusted for 3 pointers Kobe shoots an effective FGP of over
..503 which is about identical to last year's final's MVPs eFGP.

Adjusted for FTs, getting to the line and making them, his "True shooting percentage" is about the
same as Shaq....

but
when the guy takes 30 shots a game.
your team won't ever attain high standings..... this is simple math
that stupid guys like "sports fan" fail to realize.

Effective FGP of over 50%... they give more points for those long range shots...
