For example I looked up Kenyon Martin today. I remember him being an all-star so I figured he must have had multiple 20/10 seasons. Turns out he never averaged more than 17 ppg and only got 10 rpg one season.

Muggsy Bogues surprised me positively. I thought he was just a role player like Early Boykins. Turns out he had several seasons averaging over 8 apg and a couple seasons averaging over 10 apg.

Jose Calderon 98% ft all time best season

For a guy that's "only" an 87% ft shooter over his career

Such bullshit he didn't qualify for the 50/40/90 season because of too few FT attempts. He shot 120 free throws and you need 125 attempts to qualify for the 50/40/90 club.

especially since he could've just missed the rest and made the cut. it should work like that, worst case he'd still have it.

Yeah that's a good point. They do the same thing for the points, rebounds, steals, etc. per game champ where if they don't play enough games if they still would lead the league adding those games they'll still win the crown.

The freest of throws
