2012 NBA's Best Midrange Scorers

[KenneBell]

I'd be surprised if Kobe dropped below 48% on those 10-15ft jumpers.

[cotdt]

Kobe is so amazing OMG!

[HylianNightmare]

i'll wait till the end of the season to cast judgement

[kidachi]

D-whistle jokes aren't applicable anymore OP.. especially this season..

He's only averaging 5.3fta, meanwhile Kobe has averages of 8fta... both playing in about 35-36MPG.

By his logic that is why Kobe is shooting such a high percentage "because he is getting bailed out by refs!!"

[blablabla]

kobe is the best at something
nothing new to see here

I'm not challenging you OP.. I'm just saying..

You realize he's NEVER been at the top of this list before right? You're acting as if this is normal when it's never happened before? Looks pretty stupid.

Oh, and this is only 10 games in, which means there's little chance he's actually staying at the top. But yeah, way to look smart...

These aren't Kobe's best numbers from there since 2007, they're also better than his 2006, 2005, and 2004 numbers. They're probably better than all of his numbers from 1997-2003 but I don't know of any data before 2004. What I do know for a fact is that his highest % since 2004 from midrange is ~43-44%.

Where did you get those number from, Dave ?

[Dave3]

Where did you get those number from, Dave ?

NBA.com's hotspots. They split up the floor into many different sections. I add all the FGM/FGA from a certain range on the floor and divide them to get the number. Kobe in 2006 (his best season as far as I know) was a ~44% shooter from 16-23.

[blablabla]

Good save.

whatever

[Pushxx]

Good save.

I don't know the guy but you can tell blablabla is joking. ISH humor.

The numbers will go down as the season progress probably, but Kobe's been killing at the mid-range.

There are some names that you didn't put down.

Steve Nash is shooting 54.0% at the 16-23 feet range.

You didn't put Chris Paul either, who is shooting pretty solid. You didn't put Kevin Durant either.

But it doesn't really matter much since it's only the beginning of the seaosn. I would wait about 20-30 games in.
