re: Chris Jackson...I was blessed to see him play...

true, another thing about the Pistol, he shot over 90% from the foul line for his career at LSU

Not even close. He was a career 77.5% FT shooter at LSU and 82.0% in the NBA. Petes numbers are great but they are really inflated by the number of times he shot the ball.

Pete averaged around 45 shot attempts a game factoring in freethrows because getting fouled on a shot does not count as a FGA.

On the other hand Chris Jackson averaged around 25 shot attempts factoring in freethrows. CJ was a better pure shooter from the field and the free-throw line. What's impressive to me is he did standing 6'1" 170lbs while Pete was 6'5". Give CJ 20 more shots a game and he would have averaged over what Pete.

Not trying to bash Pete because he was great and a legend but just making a point his numbers are inflated and percentage wise ok
