Shooting 50% doesn't mean you don't have a terrible shot selection.

Without even researching the stats, I'm comfortable in stating Jordan
never shot under 45% in a season.  He certainly didn't do it twice.  I
think he shot around 47% the year he chucked up 37 ppg, which included
some gawd-awful shots.

I beg to differ.
