70% constantly


If everyday at your job you fricked up 30% of the time, how long does your compan keep you around?

I mean hell, there’s some major leaguers that “frick up” 70-75% of the time, and they are considered great players.

I agree with your overall sentiment about not hitting free throws, hence the word free, but you do realize the best career free throw percentage of all time is just above 90% right? Like above poster mentioned if your thread stated 70-75% I think that’s a bit more realistic.

In fact, only 3 players in NBA history have a career free throw percentage of above 90%.

FTs aren't the only part of the job though. If your job requires 8 different skills and you score 90%+ in 7 of the skills and 70% in the other skill, then that's a pretty damn good employee. When you can score, block shots, rebound, and protect/attack the paint the way Shaq and Wilt could, you're more forgiving of the lack of FT prowess. Sure it would be great if they had been better at it but they simply weren't. Still all time great legends because they were unstoppable forces of nature.

If an NBA game was simply just a free throw contest then your dumb analogy might hold weight
