Once again, you fail to factor in 3pt%
You do realize that FG% factors in 3pt% right?
RIGHT?!
I'd say it's even more impressive given that Lebron shot 10% worse from 3pt land that he still ended up shooting 3% better than Nash overall in the season in my example.
and FT% into the question.
Great. But let's look at the actual stats and factors. What would you rather have for efficiency? A guy shooing 92% shooting 3 FT's per game..or a guy shooting 77% shooting shooting 10+ FT's per game? Looking at percentages I could name quite a few players that shot better than James across the board or for the most part in categories. It doesn't really prove/show much though because it ignores the way the games were actually played.
Again, you're missing the forest from the trees here. If your point is that Nash is a better FT shooter than James...sure whatever. Point conceded. But it's a shitty point to win.
Lebron James could be and has been more efficient as Nash even with the deck stacked more in Nash's favor. That's not a great "victory" for Nash and a rather dubious set of circumstances to hang your hat on.
Flip the situations around and given what we know of each player and what we have seen each player do I really doubt you'd find anyone with a brain saying Lebron wouldn't shit all over Nash's numbers if LBJ got to run and gun for seasons on end.
The Suns do not play the same style as they did when D'Antoni as the coach. They play a considerably slower pace now.
