Bruce bowen in 2002-2003 shot 44% from 3 and 40% from FT.
Career 39% shooter from 3 and 57% from the line. The craziest shooting anomaly for sure
There was this dude in early 2000s in Serbian league .. Milosavljevic I believe was his surname, played for FMP team.
Dude was Steph before Steph and even better (shorter europe 3). He was overall ~60% from 3, it was automatic shit, opposing teams were already counting it's in if he somehow shoots it. Unreal 3pt shooter
He was less than 60% from free throw. People were joking that he should take his ft from 3pt line.
My theory - some people find the feeling of the certain distance. From that distance it makes sense for them, everything else breaks down in their heads/muscles.
yeah deffo, there's random spots where it just feels easier than others. maybe it's because you've practiced more from there without noticing, maybe its some genetic thing, i dunno. that said its obviously not super usual for someone's ideal spot to be behind the three point line lol
Yea it can even be the same distance from the basket, but different spots on the court, & still have vastly different accuracy %. I can drain buckets from the corners but throw up absolute bricks when shooting from the top of the key
