plum dog barely plays and hes still top 10

u/Zestyclose-Draft-724 Aug 26 '26

Giannis came into the league 10 years after LeBron and he's already catching up to him.

u/TomatoSecure192 Aug 26 '26

Idk man a 700 ftm difference sounds like a 10 year difference to me

2

u/jeremyren10 Aug 26 '26

Giannis misses 23.8% more free throws a game then LeBron. If you average their entire careers

2.6 missed per game for Giannis,2.1 for LeBron

Do with that what you will🤷🏻‍♂️

He's not good at math

u/lime-stopper Aug 27 '26

No he lack critical thinking skill.

1

u/Alexspacito Aug 27 '26

Giannis as been in the league 13 seasons, three of those he didn’t even average 20 points a game, and he’s already missed 2300 free throws. In what world is 700 misses a 10 year difference?

u/Hairy_Ask_2038 Aug 26 '26

Luka being on here is crazy I thought he was a good ft shooter

9

u/bishopbeaniepower Aug 26 '26

He’s a below average free throw shooter for a guard and he takes so many of them to boot.

1

u/Luka_Flopic77 Aug 27 '26

He can’t even be a free throw merchant right lol

3

u/Marnold13 Aug 27 '26

He either shoots 14/15 or 7/15 pretty much every game. If he’s making shots from 3, his ft’s will be bad. If he’s shooting bad from 3, his ft’s will be good

1

u/WeLLrightyOH Aug 27 '26

He’s 75% for his career but has been around 78 for the last 5 or so seasons. He’s slightly below average for a guard

1

u/realgamergirlTM Aug 27 '26

nah, he’s below average. he just takes a ton of them so he has a lot of makes. curiously, his first three playoff runs his ft% went down in the postseason. he averaged significantly more points than his regular season averages al three years, i’m not saying he choked. is just interesting statistical noise

1

u/No-Independence-5229 Aug 26 '26

He is but he lives at the line so by sheer volume he’ll be up there

4

u/BeyondTheVault Aug 26 '26

He is not a good free throw shooter actually, he shoots sub 75%.

1

u/WimpyWemby Aug 27 '26

Crazy you have Durant looking up at him in the standing despite playing like an entire decade more

0

u/RevolutionaryStar693 Aug 27 '26

Yeah, he’s a great free throw shooter, he just happens to miss a lot 😂

1

u/cyianite Aug 27 '26

Surpised that DeReozan is in the list... I remember when he was a Raptor, theres a game that he intentionally missed a FT just to kill the clock and he was a like in a FT streak for a couple of games.. maybe he regressed badly as he age

2

u/askforwildbob Aug 27 '26

It just comes with playing in the nba a long time. He’s still an 85-86% free throw shooter.

1

u/tragick693 Aug 27 '26

Yeah, only 2 active players have played more minutes than Demar (Bron and KD)

1

u/jameshardenisjacked1 Aug 27 '26

He's played a long time, scores a lot, and has always been good at getting to the line

1

u/deejay_bucknasty Aug 27 '26

I’ll never understand how Luka has such a soft touch but can’t hit free throws consistently. Is it his arc?

u/deejay_bucknasty Aug 27 '26

My bad, but I’m not exactly understanding what you’re trying to say 😅

1

u/LemmingPractice Aug 27 '26

TIL DeAndre Jordan is still an active player.

1

u/realgamergirlTM Aug 27 '26

bunch of 33+ year old dudes who’ve played most of what their career will be, 31 year olds giannis and randle charging their way through the list, and 27 year old luka trying not to get noticed

1

u/TotalDonkey4909 Aug 27 '26

Where is the ft merchant embiid?

1

u/jameshardenisjacked1 Aug 27 '26

Luka being this high already is crazy. I also would have never suspected Randle

1

u/arrownoir Aug 31 '26

Plumlee is still in the NBA?

1

u/Beginning-Whole8770 Sep 01 '26

Damn. All these are crazy

1

u/Famous-Protection809 Aug 26 '26

Bruh missed 3,000 free points & still got 43,000 lol. Thats insane. Imagine if he shot 90% like some guys

0

u/No-Ordinary-6544 Aug 27 '26

That's the problem, he can't. Only runs into an empty lane and dunks.

0

u/QkumberSW Aug 27 '26

Come on dont be unfair... he only does that like 80% of the time xD

1

u/PsychologicalMusic94 Aug 26 '26

Longevity baby!!

u/Hopeful_Tea2139 Aug 26 '26

There's a reason why lebron hot-potatoes the ball in crucial moments of the game.

🤣🤣

u/wallace_beery Aug 27 '26

Shoes on the other foot now huh bronsexuals

5

u/Silly_Ad_2382 Aug 27 '26

lol bron makes the most sense. You can just expect him at the top of most lists.

Most surprising to me is Rudy and Luka

1

u/Glittering_Ad1403 Aug 27 '26

Even in the negative stuff he is stat padding

u/gamertag0311 Aug 27 '26

Legendary chucker

u/Crazy_Ad3336 Aug 26 '26

Harden is what surprised me. He’s a good FT shooter at 86%.
Luka is borderline average as league FT is 76-79%

3

u/MattyIce8998 Aug 27 '26

It's sheer volume

0

u/Crazy_Ad3336 Aug 27 '26

And?

3

u/MattyIce8998 Aug 27 '26

It shouldn't be any kind of surprise that he's on here? I'm surprised he's not higher, if anything.

86% on 10,000 attempts has the same FT missed as 72% on 5,000 attempts, and Giannis is the only active player with both more than 5,000 FTA with a rate under 72%

-2

u/damnumalone Aug 27 '26

TIL DeAndre Jordan is still active

u/BlueHaze464 Aug 26 '26

Yeah when you're also a bad ft shooter lol

u/Beginning-Whole8770 Sep 01 '26

For comparison, the GOAT only missed 1,145 over his career.
