The best basketball player in the world

Wilt Chamberlain PPG=30.1, FG=54.0%, Games=1,045

Karl Malone . . 25.0 . . 51.6 . . 1,476

LeBron James . . 27.1 . . 50.6 . . 1,492

And others, according to https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=nba+players+with+career+average+25+ppg+and+50+fg%25

Michael Jordan's career field goal percentage was 49.7%, but his free throwper entage was 83.5%....so overall, he made more shots than he missed.

Larry Birds career stats: 897 games played. FG% 49.6. FT% 88.6


Career 897 870 38.4 9.6 19.3 49.6 0.7 1.9 37.6 4.4 5.0 88.6 56.4 2.0 8.0 10.0 6.3 1.7 0.8 3.1 2.5 24.3

Yes. Much like the best baseball player in the world probably got out 60% or more of their times at bat.

Would have been over 50 but for the Wizards years.
