I'm betting on Tony Parker and James Donaldson.

Neither of them could shoot outside of 3 feet...and just how many shots can you miss at 3 feet?

It is Donaldson & Magic.  I guess Magic couldn't shoot form outside 3 feet either.


BTW I would have guessed Parker or Ginobili based on who started the thread.

Byron Scott???????????

Even Avery Johnson has a higher playoff FG% than him!





It is only .486 vs .482 though.

Magic .506 for career.
Ginobili did shoot .507 for the entire playoffs in his 2005 co-Finals MVP year.
Tony P went up to .480 last year but still has not cracked 50%.  I have not figured in true shooting percentage with three pointers combined.  That would certainly help Findawg in 2007, 41% on all fgs (73-178) but also 41% on many threes attempted (44-105).  Would easily give him a 50% plus on adjusted fg%.  178 shots for 190 pts, that is indeed over 50% adjusted for Findawg.

I thought the same Lurker, which is why I decided the best way to answer the trivia question was with a trivia question.

BTW, James Donaldson is the only player not in the Hall of Fame. (I believe Ewing will eventually be in)

Moral?  FG% is good, not everything.

I don't think Robinson or Karl Malone are in the Hall yet either.  Key word = yet.

And you both were wrong.

Well not entirely because i initially misread SuperManus career playoff at 50%+  :D
Either way you got fair and balanced Reality reporting, as usual.

I'm nothing like the latter two but westkoast is correct, i can be like Reality Oreilly.
When he went after that child molester defense liarwyer Golman or whatever his name was that defended and tried to set free whom he knew killed and then tried to pontificate his rationalization, the molester/killer of 7 year old Danielle Van Damne, that was pure Reality style.  Chesterfield, or Westerfield or whatever his name is.
Not always tho.
I'll give you the last word sir.

I was trying to think of players who didn't shoot that often but still converted a large number of shots they did take.  Dunno why Byron Scott came to mind.  That fast break to stop at the FT to shoot a wide open shot was always money.
