The Three Point's Shot (182 views)

Russell Westbrook went 0 of 3 from three tonight, bringing him to 1032 of 3383 on his career.

So what?

So at 30.5% he now has the lowest 3P% of every player with at least 3383 career attempts, having long since surpassed everyone else with more than 2021, comfortably besting Allen Iverson's 31.3%

.266 2020 Charles Barkley
.305 3383 Russell Westbrook
.317 3570 Gary Payton
.320 3931 Vernon Maxwell
.320 4159 Baron Davis
.325 4264 Antoine Walker
.329 5546 Kobe Bryant
.345 5719 LeBron James
.348 6379 Jamal Crawford
.363 6720 James Harden
.400 7429 Ray Allen

At an impressive 29% over the past four seasons, the only thing standing between him and everyone else in NBA history is how many more seasons someone wants to pay him to play basketball - right now he's got one more year on his contract plus a player option for a cool $47m, if he plays those two years he definitely catches Gary Payton's attempts and has an outside shot at catching Vernon Maxwell.

the really wild thing is three point shooting wasn't that much worse in his era either: 34% over his career compared to 36% for westbrook's

westbrook will probably finish 100 or so behind maxwell at the end of this season

after his third straight season of below average play and potentially his first season of below replacement level play, westbrook has a $47m player option next year

if he is employed and takes his usual 300 or so, that puts him right about at baron davis' attempts. either way, one more year after that and he'll surely catch antoine's, but the rapidity of his decline and how bad he already is makes it almost unimaginable he could play long enough to catch whoever that next name is

westbrook could also get better at three point shooting

but he would have to make 291 of his next 680 to shoot better than antoine over the 4264

that's 43%

seems unlikely
