Sħãlïq™ Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Since the NBA introduced the three-point field goal for the 1979–'80 season, only five players have shot 50% or better from the field, 40% or better from three-point range, and 90% or better from the free throw line during an entire season while also achieving the NBA league minimum number of makes in each category: Larry Bird (twice)Mark PriceReggie MillerSteve Nash (4 times)Dirk Nowitzkihttp://i47.tinypic.com/2u8uulz.png José Calderón appears on some 50–40–90 Club lists for his 52–43–91 shooting during the 2007–'08 season. During that season, however, he only made 109 free throws (16 short of the NBA league minimum required to be considered the leader in this category). To qualify as a leader in the field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage, a player has to make at least 300 field goals, 55 three-point field goals and 125 free throws. These values have been used since the 1999–'00 season; requirements varied with the schedule length several times before that.Source Who will be the latest player to achieve this feat? Calderon and Nash (again!) both narrowly missed on it: http://i45.tinypic.com/mli6xk.png Can Calderon make it this season? http://i47.tinypic.com/rhibuq.png Edited January 14, 2013 by Sħãlïq™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkinDerozan Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Calderon won't get it, he doesn't get to the FT line enough. Honestly I didn't know he was shooting so well this season though. If he could have been a half decent defender he could have been a very good player. He's still a good 2nd string PG or an ok starting PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
