* Averaged 25.1 FGA and 48.7 FG% for his playoff career
High volume by itself might dictate pace, but it can't win... High volume AND high efficiency is what devastates teams.. Of course, achieving high volume at high efficiency
[COLOR="Navy"]while winning a championship[/COLOR] requires the most skill - the player must achieve the high volume at high efficiency within a team concept, without diminishing the stats of teammates.
The only players reach the holy grail of skill by shooting high volume at high efficiency while winning a championship (25+ FGA on 45%+ during the playoffs) were MJ (1992, 1993, 1997, and 1998) and Hakeem (1995).. It's crazy - sometimes we forget how skilled Hakeem
eventually became.
[COLOR="Navy"]In MJ's case, when you compare his [COLOR="green"]per 100 stats[/COLOR] to other wings (playoffs stats shown below), it's clear that he did exactly what the other wings did, but just MORE OF IT.. His efficiency was the same as other wings, but he simply produced far more at that efficiency:[/COLOR]
