NBA Shooting At Historic Highs; Scoring Cracks 100
My sense is that the perception lingers among casual sports fans that the NBA game is lacking in basic basketball fundamentals, especially compared to NCAA ball. Subjectively, it's a somewhat comical sentiment to anyone who watches the game with a truly critical eye. Objectively, the numbers say at least this: the quality of shooting in the NBA has never been better.
It's time for us to once again examine the overall league statistics, as we did after the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons. Once again, the stats show that offense continues to be on the rise in the NBA, continuing a decade-long trend.
1. Scoring cracks the 100 ppg mark! (Well, pretty much.)
On a wild final night of the 2008-09 season, Daniel Gibson and Michael Finley sent games to overtime with last-second shots in regulation. Among the effects of those buzzer-beaters is that the subsequent OTs allowed enough points to be scored for the NBA to crack the 100 ppg per team mark for the first time since 1994-95, according to totals gathered on Basketball Reference.
By my calculation, there were 245,879 total points scored in 1230 games, for an average of 99.95 per team. Round that baby up to 100.0!
Subtract Devin Harris connecting on a fumbling half-court three in midseason and the total was 245,876, which equates to just 99.949 per team!
Here are the annual ppg numbers dating back to 1994-95:
- 94-95: 101.4
95-96: 99.5
96-97: 96.9
97-98: 95.6
98-99: 91.6
99-00: 97.5
00-01: 94.8
01-02: 95.5
02-03: 95.1
03-04: 93.4
04-05: 97.2
05-06: 97.0
06-07: 98.7
07-08: 99.9
08-09: 100.0
Basketball Reference shows that Pace Factor was actually down slightly this year, from 92.4 to 91.7 possessions, which meant that Offensive Efficiency (points per 100 possessions) was actually up from 107.5 to 108.3, which was also the highest number since 1994-95.
2. Three-point shooting again better than ever.
One of the major evolutions in the way the game is played that's occurred over the last generation is that the number of three-point attempts has continually increased over time - and three-point percentage has, too (with some aberration in the three years in which the line was moved in).
Three-point field-goal percentage took a big jump for the second straight season, up from .358 in '06-07 to .362 in '07-08 to .367 in '08-09.
This season's mark of .3667 was just short of the all-time mark of .3670 in 1995-96, which was one of the three seasons in which the line was moved in, so this season's shooting percentage is easily a more impressive feat.
Average threes made and attempts were once again at record levels of 6.6-18.1 per game.
Here's the evolution of three-point shooting per game per team averages over time (thanks to Basketball Reference):
- 79-80: 0.8-2.8 .280
80-81: 0.5-2.0 .245
81-82: 0.6-2.3 .262
82-83: 0.5-2.3 .238
83-84: 0.6-2.4 .250
84-85: 0.9-3.1 .282
85-86: 0.9-3.3 .282
86-87: 1.4-4.7 .301
87-88: 1.6-5.0 .316
88-89: 2.1-6.6 .323
89-90: 2.2-6.6 .331
90-91: 2.3-7.1 .320
91-92: 2.5-7.6 .331
92-93: 3.0-9.0 .336
93-94: 3.3-9.9 .333
94-95: 5.5-15.3 .359 (line moved in)
95-96: 5.9-16.0 .367 (line moved in)
96-97: 6.0-16.8 .360 (line moved in)
97-98: 4.4-12.7 .346
98-99: 4.5-13.2 .339
99-00: 4.8-13.7 .353
00-01: 4.8-13.7 .354
01-02: 5.2-14.7 .354
02-03: 5.1-14.7 .349
03-04: 5.2-14.9 .347
04-05: 5.6-15.8 .356
05-06: 5.7-16.0 .358
06-07: 6.1-16.9 .358
07-08: 6.5-18.1 .362
08-09: 6.6-18.1 .367
Isiah Thomas ranked 19th that season with a percentage of .309. In 2008-09, that would place Zeke 125th, ahead of just six players who qualified for the league leaders (including Baron Davis and his shameful .302 mark).
We said it last year, and we'll reiterate it now: Today's players are the greatest outside shooters in the history of basketball, period.
3. Free-throw shooting at a near all-time high.
Foul shooting was up to .771 in '08-09, second-best in NBA history, just a fraction behind the .771 mark in 1973-74.
This year's .771 was somewhat of a surprise, considering the percentage had been .755, .752, and .745 in the last three seasons, and had not even been above .759 since 1990-91.
The individual FT% marks were incredibly impressive as well, led by Jose Calderon's staggering .981, which shattered Calvin Murphy's single-season record of .958.
Not far behind were Ray Allen (.952, 4th best ever) and Steve Nash (.933, 15th best ever). Chauncey Billups (.913) and Mo Williams (.912) were also above 90%.
4. Field-goal efficiency at an all-time high.
Finally, field-goal percentage was up slightly, from .457 last year to .459 in '08-09, the highest FG% number since .462 in 1995-96.
Of course, with the proliferation of three-point attempts in today's game, Effective Field-Goal Percentage (i.e., granting an extra .5 FG made for each three-point shot made, to account for how many points are scored per field-goal attempt) is an increasingly valuable metric - a more accurate measure of field-goal shooting than raw FG%.
Effective Field-Goal Percentage was up from a record .497 in '07-08 to a new record of .500 in '08-09.
No matter how you slice it, shooting in the NBA was better than ever in 2008-09.

Any easy way to analyze the midrange game? I'd be interested to see the comparisons once we remove dunks and 3s from the mix.
It seems whenever people talk about the "good ol' days" they mean the days when the game focused on the 12-18 foot jumper.
I'm loving the scoring as well as the defense the League is showing at this point. As compared to the offense-heavy seasons of recent past, there seems to be a renewed interest in playing both ends of the court. Thanks for these detailed data!
Very worthwhile piece of writing, thank you for the post.

It's the final count down! Well, not really. We've still got a little less than a week until the arrival of the Nike Kobe 9 new balance 475 EM "Silk", but to help take the edge off the anticipation we've got some more photos! These villainous kicks black nike huarache get lost in an Asian-inspired graphic that is set in Villain Red.
President Barack Obama, our Commander in Chief, kobe high top receives a special homage with the latest Nike Kobe 10 Elite, appropriately dubbed "Commander."
They'll say farewell to Kobe nike air max plus by releasing his entire sneaker collection beginning with the Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 and ending with the newest Kobe Nike Kobe 9(IX) Womens 11. The Pack/Collection which is being named the "Fade To Black" collection will start of with all-white colorways and Kobe 10(X) For Sale will evolve in color and ultimately conclude with an all-black Kobe 11. If you take a look at the Cheap Lebron Slippers two leaked style sheets above you can see the sneaker along with its official colorway listed next to it kobe 10 high top and it shows each sneaker getting darker with each successive model.
But as you womens nike free runs 5.0 all know there's always surprise releases when it comes to the sneaker world. Now scheduled for next week is the release of the Kobe 10 Elite High that you see above. Being known as the "Commander" colorway, this nike air max black Kobe 10 comes in a Black upper with Metallic Silver, Blue Lagoon and Volt detailing all throughout. The traditional kobe 9 high top Nike Kobe patch on the tongue has been replaced on this pair for a special "Commander" patch that's done kobe x for sale in Blue Lagoon and Volt.
A beacon of clean, simple styling, perhaps the most beautifully understated colorway of the Cheap Kobe 9 Elite High model yet, the Nike KD 8 Midnight Navy arrives this weekend.Today, feast your eyes on official photos of the stephon curry shoes fresh new KD 8, which breaks up an ultra-pale grey Flyweave upper with blue flecking, then balances that ostensibly Nike Kobe Mentality Thunder-inspired tone with more blue on the liner and outsole.March 5 is the day, one of a host of air jordan wallpaper shoes that launches on Saturday, including the AJKO. And the Air Jordan 2. And the Air Jordan 30. And Jordan Super Fly 2 PO the KD 8 EXT. And . . .

I visit SEO planning for a combination of the admiration of more or less fixed rules and the monitoring of particular parameters of this single instance. Summarizing the notion, I'd say it is predicated on a substantial and upsetting variability of factors. Content is king; this is the simple rule. Using their rank on Google, the very best approach to benefit from search engines and good inbound links will be to write excellent texts. But I'll tell you: the view has shifted.
Thank you
