How many points/game would Shaq have averaged if he was an 80% FT shooter?

Basketball is so weighted in favor of giant freaks of nature like him- one of these days a guy with that body may come along who is a great shooter as well. Will break the game.

It's a pure test of hand-eye coordination and muscle memory. So he wouldn't have just added to his free throw stats, dummy.

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:05 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad LOL. He played in the 90s you retard. There were no centers shooting from outside or even midrange, especially if they were as dominant as Shaq within 5 feet. This was the post-up era. Centers posted up and backed defenders down.
You really do just need to add his free throw stats and take a discount for free throw attempts because Hack-a-Shaq wouldn't have been an option. It's that simple, stupid.

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:14 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Sure, but you'd still foul an 80% FT shooter than give up a guaranteed basket. I was referring to the hack-a-Shaq in the backcourt or just past the half-court line, strategic free throw attempts in order to gain more possessions.

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:12 PM Author: ,.,,.,.,,,,,,..................... Right, so being a coordinated guy wasn't important at all for a professional basketball player in the 90s if he was big and athletic? Having elite coordination instead of below average coordination wouldn't have manifested itself in better shooting, better passing, more steals, more rebounds, etc? Just free throws. Got it.

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:16 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Shaq was extremely coordinated, he did not have below average coordination LOL. He was just a bad free throw shooter and he never worked on it to get better. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719325&forum_id=2)#48896931) |

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:23 PM Author: ,.,,.,.,,,,,,..................... Shooting free throws is about as pure a test for coordination and muscle memory as I can imagine.
And Shaq disagrees about not working on them:
“I was a Steve Kerr practice free-throw shooter. I shot it like Steve Kerr in practice, 88% or 85%. I really did practice it because I was tired of people saying he could not hit them. Because of my practice, I was hitting them when I needed them.”
But regardless, sounds like you care a lot more about the NBA than I do, so think what you like. |

Date: May 1st, 2025 3:38 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., they wouldnt have fouled him as much if he shot 80% FTs, so he'd get way less FT attampts (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719325&forum_id=2)#48896834) |

Date: May 1st, 2025 3:40 PM Author: .,..,.,.;,.,,:,.,.,::,...,..,:,..;,.., He also would score more regular points bc of that. Hack the Shaq was a whole defensive strategy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719325&forum_id=2)#48896839) |

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:22 PM Author: He flexed his right muscle. This seems correct. I think it would be a wash from that perspective. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719325&forum_id=2)#48896957) |
