Field Goal Percent is the most overrated stat in the world

[SlayerEnraged]

People act like it's accurate...Well most of the time it isn't.

Kobe's supposedly a 45.4% shooter this year.

Well 12/19 games he's a 46.4% shooter or better.

Michael Jordan vs the 93 Knicks in the playoffs shot 40%

Well it turns out he shot under 37.5% in 4/6 games

There's just way to many examples of this type of thing happening. Excessively bad or good shooting games knock a players shooting % up or down and it's not an accurate measure. It's also a silly stat because it doesn't specify how many bail out shots, shots at the end of quarters, etc that a player takes. Plus in my opinion, if you go 6 for 18 or so but end up with 24 points, then that's not a bad thing. It has some value but is the most overrated and overused stat ever.

I am a huge Kobe homer.
Shooting efficiency especially from the field is meaningless and holds little to no value.
Kobe >>> MJ
Kobe >>> All

Interesting.

[Jotaro Durant]

its meant to be an on average stat

players will shoot better in some games than not so obvious that is, not meant to be looked at from the majority or minority but the mean

Kobe is a streaky shooter.

He lacks consistency and overall efficiency (over time) and struggles heavily vs certain defenders and certain opponents.

Those are the main reasons he is not a Top 5 ATScorer.

[KDthunderup]

lol MJ's shot averaged nearly 50% for his whole career, Kobe has averaged 45% his whole career

MJ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>











>>>>>>Kobe

U idiots don't even realize I wasn't comparing the two in this thread... I used examples to show exactly what I'm talking about. Sorry kiddo but if you're regarded as a 40% shooter when 66% of the games u played in where u shoot 37.5% or less that's not an accurate statement.

Did you really just cherry-pick a playoff series against one of those most physical and defensively sound teams of the 90s and use that as a platform for downing on FG%?

Jordan is considered better than Bryant for a myriad of reasons, efficiency is one of the top reasons. Jordan didn't take a lot of bad shots. On his career, Jordan is a near .500 shooter. He was extremely efficient and extremely consistent.

If your going to use a player as a platform for arguing against FG%, Jordan is not one to do it with.

I'm not comparing MJ and Kobe in this thread...I never said anything about the knicks defense...The point of this is to show field goal % is SKEWED.

op is a nutjob

[32Dayz]

There's a shit load of extremely biased Kobe Homers/Stans who think Kobe is better than MJ

I know and they are all complete and utter idiots.

Kobe is the 2nd or 3rd best SG ever after Jordan and West.
Kobe is at best 10-15 All-Time GOAT.

Jordan is the GOAT or at worst Top 3.

Kobe and him were never close and will never be close.

[joshwake]

its only overrated (and slightly) when you factor in the 3 pt shot. They should split 3pt fg% completely from total fg%.

but on ISH it is an underrated stat, thanks to all the kobe kum guzzlers.
