Only players in NBA history to shoot 50/40/90
Bird, Nash, Durant,Price,Miller, Dirk, Curry is on pace this year.
This kid is shooting better from three than from two what a season he's having. All time great college shooting performance for the whole season.
That list isn't actually accurate. Steve Kerr is actually in the 50/50/90 club. He did that in the 95/96 season. He played 23.4 minutes a game and played in all 82 games so it wasn't just a partial season. Now granted he wasn't bombing shots all over the place and perhaps didn't qualify in one, but therein lies the rub with stats like that.
Then you have the weird situation on a guy like Ray Allen who shot 50% from two, but not from the field (as a result of all his three pointers) who would actually be in that group if you looked at 2PT%/3PT%/FT% (Allen did that for Boston in 08/09 for example). There are also plenty of guys who fall just short of the foul shooting. John Stockton, for example, was over 50/40 for something like 8 of his seasons, but never quite hit 90 from the line.
