Korver leads the NBA in 3-point percentage at .520 (91 of 175). He led the league last season at .472 (185 of 392). He also holds the record for best percentage in a season of .536 (59 of 110) set in the 2009-10 season with the Jazz.

The shooting guard is flirting with the 50/50/90 mark this season of shooting better than 50 percent from the field and 3-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line. He is currently the only player in the NBA shooting at least 49 percent from the field (.498) and 3-point range (.520) and 90 percent from the free-throw line (.938). He ranks third in the league in effective field goal percentage at .679, which takes into account all three percentages.

YA THINK?! As the 3 point shot grows in importance, of COURSE rim protection becomes less important.

In the playoffs I value rim protection more. I think the Hawks have set their team up in the image of the Suns of the Nash days, great regular season team but in the playoffs they will get exposed inside.

Man, when Tyreke is on he is great at taking the ball to the rack

I can't even stand to listen to them then. So so bad.

That's awesome, look at Dirk. One of the all time greats.

I'm the same, for an ex player Clyde is a horrible announcer. I can think of at least 15 people on these forums who the rockets could stand to replace Clyde with.

Yeah I saw that. I also thought it was interesting that Lillard was one of the few players that's the FG percentage went up the deeper the 3

His close range and finishing at the rim has improved but it looks like it's still pretty far below average. Plenty of room to still improve, and that is great news!

I honestly wonder sometimes if he must be trying to be that bad. And then I wonder if the Rockets feel obligated to keep him and THEN I wonder if we would have done the same if he had won a ring or 2 here
