I apologize for making basketball related posts in the basketball part of the forum.

Fun fact of the day

Al “Charmin Soft” Horford has the worst RPM (Real Plus-Minus) win shares per million paid in the NBA

God damn, I see the stat about Giannis leading the league in travels and charges really got to you

how? Giannis still succeeds even w/o being babied like Harden and LeBron

“Monta Ellis have it all..” as he famously said.. for a while he had one of the best mid range games I’ve ever seen.. his mid range was so consistent I think he went like a whole month or so shooting 60% in an obscure year with us.. he was sooo underrated in his mid range godliness.. so much so that when he did get some recognition it went too much to his head..

Still my sig for a reason tho.

Midrange mastery in today's NBA

Soooo... the Warriors traded the 8th most efficient midrange scorer for the 5th least efficient with a bigger contract.

This season, the 5 most efficient (minimum 100 midrange shots attempted) midrange scorers have been:
(Bonus - 6th to 10th - 10. Dejounte Murray 47.7 fg%, 9. Dennis Schroder 48.1 fg%, 8. D'Angelo Russell 48.6 fg%, 7. Gordon Hayward 49.2 fg%, 6. Josh Richardson 49.3 fg%)
5. Damian Lillard's sharpshooting Portland running-mate CJ McCollum (49.3 FG%),
4. "50-40-90 club" inductee Malcolm Brogdon (50.6 FG%),
3. Cleveland's veteran star power-forward Kevin Love (52.0 FG%),
2. Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton (52.3 FG%), who's had an excellent season co-starring alongside likely-MVP Giannis leading Milwaukee to a historing winning pace, and is a literal hair away from "50-40-90 club" induction himself this year (49.9/41.8/90.8 splits),
1. and finally, last but certainly not least, with an incredible bounce-back season in Oklahoma at age 34, Chris Paul, who shot a scorching 53.9 FG% from his favourite zone on the court.

The 5 least efficient midrange shooters are a fun and varied bunch as well:
(Bonus - 6th to 10th - 10. LeBron James 35.9 fg%, 9. Tobias Harris 35.6 fg%, 8. Deandre Ayton 35.3 fg%, 7. Devonte' Graham 35.2 fg%, 6. Zach Lavine 34.4 fg%)
5. brand-new Golden State Warriors employee Andrew Wiggins (33.8 FG%),
4. Chicago's promising young rookie guard Coby White (33.6 FG%),
3. the defending champion Raptors' newly minted All-Star Pascal Siakam (32.1 FG%),
2. a fellow All-Star who's perhaps finally found his perfect home in Miami and has had an excellent season overall, Jimmy Butler (31.0 FG%),
1. and finally, last and most certainly least, shooting a putrid 25.4 FG% from the midrange: full-time rapper, part-time Slam Dunk Contest runner-up, the Orlando Magic's do-everything-except-shooting-quite-well Power Forward... Aaron Gordon.

Why must you bring this kind of negativity in my life.

All the Harden travel jokes can now be directed at Giannis

The joke was that Harden didn’t get called enough, just like the joke was that the Warriors got away with moving screens.

Giannis gets called for fouls a lot and yet people still bitch about him not getting called. Just proof more people are biased when the player isn’t on their favorite teams
