I remember watching Kobe play 10 feet off Rondo baiting him to shoot in the finals.

Point is he was known as a defensive guy, nonshooter, but put up a number of seasons of good shooting.

Bill Russell wasn't a good shooter.

Dennis Rodman fricking dude couldn't hit the broadside of a barn but then would come up with some miraculous bank shot in crunch time when he only got the ball because it was loose.


I remember some playoff game (possibly a Finals game), Rodman hit some improbable clutch shot and then ran back down the floor while looking straight into the TV camera and shrugging, and I think he said “oops”.

I was going to say Bill Cartwright with the worst shooting form I remember as a kid. But he was a career .525.
Most big men are going to have that number skewed do to point blank shots I guess.

Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd
ai took high percentage shots and kidd developed a jump shot. this thread is dumb bc there are many role positions other than shooting.
