Everyone on this list has a FT % better then 65% w/ the exception of Antoine Walker @ 57%, Rasheed Wallace @ 52% & Shaq @ 37%..................................37%..................are you kidding me?? Thats for all 4 rounds of the playoffs. It's a shame that someone who is called a professional shoots 37%...............How long would you or I have a job if we failed at something 63% of the time? Most of the players on the list have a better FG percentage. If you notice, most of the players have well over 70% FT percentage, so as an owner paying these guys millions of dollars, yes, I'd expect my team to shoot better then 70%. Remember they are called free throws.
"Hack-A-Shaq" is played by every team in the NBA when they are playing Miami. If Shaq was able to make FT's, there wouldn't be the case. IMO if he can't make his free throws, he can't be clutch in the final minutes. Michael made his FT's, Bird made his FT's, Magic made his FT's, Reggie Miller made his FT's, Wilt made his FT's, Bill Russell made his FT's.............These guys IMO are the best ever................a 37% FT shooter will never make that list!!!!
What is Shaq's field goal percentage for the season? What is the league average?
