Yeah, no kidding. How many players with such high usage rating averaged 50-40-90? Steve Nash has done it a few times the past few years. Reggie Miller did it once, and came super close in 1990. John Stockton never did it, but he was damn close if he could hit his freethrows a tiny bit better. Steve Kerr did it twice, but he didn't average nowhere near the amount of shots. Chris Paul came close in 2009. I can't think of anyone else.

Who knows if he'll keep it up, but I wouldn't be shocked if he gets to the 50-40-90 mark. Doing it at such a young age must be unprecedented, but I could be wrong.

I believe 3 people have done it twice, but only one 3 times.

Bird did it twice, and nash 3 times (or maybe 4 now).

Bird did it twice, and nash 3 times (or maybe 4 now).

Nash is only shooting 36% from three (lol the fact that I have to use "only") and 89% on FTs this season.

EDIT: Looks like he's done it four times in his career:

2006, 2008, 2009, 2010.

In 2007, he shot 89.9% on FTs. So he didn't get to the 50-40-90 mark :lol

magic debut!

Man I hope this works out okay tonight, zero practice time :lol

Any have a stream for Orlando @ Atlanta game?

Only 11 times has a player shot 50-40-90 in an NBA season while also achieving the NBA league minimum number of makes. Nash (five times) and Larry Bird (three times) are the only players to have

He started the year pretty bad on 3's, i think he's going better recently. Same with his FT shooting.

Heh i get it now

This rounding to the second digit has pertinence regarding several 50–40–90 seasons in that four times a player who did not actually reach the .500 or .900 threshold appeared to shoot 50% and 90%. In the 1985–86 season Larry Bird officially shot .496–.423–.896, which becomes 50–42–90 when converted to two digit numbers,[7][8] in the 1990–91 season Jeff Hornacek officially shot .518–.418–.897, which becomes 52–42–90,[9] in the 2006–07 season Steve Nash shot .532–.455–.899 which converts to 53–45–90,[10] and in the 2008–09 season José Calderón shot .497–.406–.981 which converts to 50–41–98.[4]

@jeskeets: Jameer/J-Rich/Hedo/Bass/Dwight. Exactly what I predicted on this morning's #TBJ ep. Good call, Stan Van.

Gil should be starting..

Gil as a ball handling 6th man who's going to get 30mpg is going to be nuts.

I'm more interested to see what they do with Howard on the bench.

Wow never realized Mario Elie got that close.

Nash is so good he may very well average it for his career. Insane.

So nobody has a stream? Out of the four games on right now, two of them that I don't care for have streams and the two I actually want to watch are with no streams to be found. :lol

 

[Rodeo Clown]

any Hornets' fans going to games?

Their last home game was Friday night vs. Utah and they only got 14,414. The NBA is going to break the lease.

 

[The Frankman]

So:

PG: Jameer Nelson
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Hedo Turkolgu
PF: Brandon Bass
C: Dwight Howard

Bass finally gets his time to shine, Hedo reprises his point forward role, and J-Rich slips into a comfortable position at SG. Bench is:

J.J. Redick, SG
Jason Williams, PG
Gilbert Arenas, PG/SG
Chris Duhon, PG
Malik Allen, PF
Quentin Richardson, SG/SF
Ryan Anderson, PF
Earl Clark, F/C
Daniel Orton, PF

No Bigs depth and a guard glut. Wonder who is odd man out, Williams or Duhon?

 

[Blackace]

Hell no.

uh.. ok.

Let me put it this way. Nelson is trash as a real PG. Hope that helps..

So they upgraded their 2009 Finals team at the shooting-guard position, and lose some scoring at the PF but gain rebounding.

Many of those are entirely tradeable too, Redick, Q-Rich, .Utah could use reddick, i.e. some who can shoot.

 

[Blackace]

Gil as a ball handling 6th man who's going to get 30mpg is going to be nuts.

Nelson off the bench for quick points at 25 mpg would be nuts. When Gil had a decent team around him he was a great PG who passed as much as scored.. he was still a score first PG.. but I could see his game translating to a setup PG who can score when needed..

 

[The M.O.B]

ARENAS for 3:lol

Gonna be interesting to see if he can get his shot back.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Wonder who is odd man out, Williams or Duhon?

Both.

uh.. ok.

Let me put it this way. Nelson is trash as a real PG. Hope that helps..

Nelson understands the system better than Gunbert right now. If Arenas shows more promise than Jameer in the long run, then maybe he'll get the starter spot by the Playoffs. Van Gundy was pretty adamant about 'Meer starting.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Rodeo signal:

To say he's worse than Rodgers is incredible. Rodgers took the same roster that had won 30 games the year before and lead them to 15 wins. Of course, the Wolves whiffed on their lottery pick again that summer (Longley or Felton Spencer, I can't remember. Either way...).

I know what Gundy said, doesn't make it the correct move...

 

[Boombloxer]

Czzz, I agree.

5pur5, no.

2-2-1-1-1 is a helluva lot more doable than 2-3-2, even with fractured confidence of the role players.

Ding. Ding.

Oh, cool. We shall call it the...

Triple Troll Combo Score.

Tripled.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I know what Gundy said, doesn't make it the correct move...

Oh, ok. Sounds like you should be the one coaching this team.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Gil to the Magic was not a mistake.

But I have a feeling bringing turk was :lol

 

[Blackace]

Oh, ok. Sounds like you should be the one coaching this team.

Until he wins a ring he is no better a coach than me or rambis

 

[The Frankman]

Both.

Okay, then the Bench rotation is:


Gilbert Arenas, PG/SG (I guess he's first PG off bench)
J.J. Redick, SG
Quentin Richardson, SF (has to play SF)
Ryan Anderson, PF
Malik Allen, PF
Earl Clark, F/C
Daniel Orton, PF
Chris Duhon, PG
Jason Williams, PG

Bolded is the guys who'd probably play, everyone else would get spot minutes based on score or foul trouble/DNPs then. That sound reasonable?

EDIT: Apparently Magic playing Allen over Andersen. Interesting.

Andersen rebounds like a member of the goodwill games..

He's got a special skillset. You just wait.

Can't he hit 3's though? Isn't that what Magic wanted?

Rambis has actually mins played during his championship times..

Yeah, kiss the rings. The triangle works, you guys just suck.

JJ Hickson has the ugliest shoes I have ever seen.

I think with Nelson, Gil, Turk, JJ, you have enough gunners..

Poor Ryan. I had heard stuff that Magic were trying to get him more playing time before. They trade half the team and he's still buried.

Hes serviceable trust me! :lol

Sure they do! He has done it as a player and a bench coach!! SVG "wanted to be closer to his family" when the Heat won

 

[TylerD]

WTF? Mavs vs. Heat is blacked out on NBA TV in OKC. Looks like I will be watching it on ATDHE which means soccer ads at every break. :C

 

[ryutaro's mama]

You know who doesn't?

Any Blazer player (while playing in a Blazer uniform) for the last 30+ years.

Dirk's shot doesnt even hit net anymore....

The fuck.

Dirk is on automatic right now. Wow

 

[PBY]

WOOOOO LETS GO HEAT! SHOWTIME GONNA SHOWTIME! FUCK YOU BRANDY! ELITE GONNA ELITE!!!!

Spoiler

I'm very scared about tonight, things could go terribly for us-not confident in a win at all, or even that itll be close for that matter
