Calculating

The Calculating section mentions that the shooting statistics are rounded to second decimal. However, I don't think it's correct. If we follow the second decimal rules, the list will includes players who were not actually shooting at 50-40-90. Here are several reasons that support my point.

  • I could not find any reference that mentions the second decimal rules.
  • If the statistics are rounded to second decimal, the list will includes both Jeff Hornacek and José Calderón. I could not find any single news or article that mentions Hornacek is a member of the 50-40-90 club. Although Calderon is often mentioned as a member of the club, it is because of his 2007-08 season, when he was 16 free throws short from the league minimum. His 2008-09 season (.497-.406-.981) is never mentioned anywhere as his 50-40-90 season.
  • This news item on September 2010 mentions that Bird has only achieved 50-40-90 twice, which excludes his 1985-86 season (.496-.423-.896). The news also mentions that Nash achieved 50-40-90 four times in the last five seasons, which excludes his 2006-07 season (.532-.455-.899).
  • This news item on February 2008 mentions that the 50-40-90 has only been achieved six times (Bird in 1986-87, Bird in 1987-88, Price in 1988-89, Miller in 1993-94, Nash in 2005-06, Nowitzki in 2006-07), which excludes Nash' 2006-07 season (.532-.455-.899) and Hornacek's 1990-91 season (.518-.418-.897).
  • This news item on January 2007 only mentions 5 players in the club, which excludes Hornacek's 1990-91 season (.518-.418-.897)
  • This news item on September 2010 only mentions Bird, Nash and Nowitzki as members of the club. He probably forgot about Price and Miller, but there are no mentions of Calderon's recent 2008-09 season (.497-.406-.981).

If there are no objections, I will remove those under 50-40-90 seasons and rearrange the Calculating section to reflect a more accurate information. — Martin tamb (talk) 15:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is one news item that contradict my points above. It mentions that Nash has achieved 50-40-90 five times, which includes his 2006-07 season (.532-.455-.899) and Bird has achieved 50-40-90 three times, which includes his 1985-86 season (.496-.423-.896). — Martin tamb (talk) 07:15, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to improve the article. You made some good points.—Chris!c/t 18:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the changes and included those who barely missed the 50-40-90 mark in a separate table. — Martin tamb (talk) 07:15, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly how moronic can this be made? 50-40-90 equals .500-.400-.900 and that is all what is needed to know. So .499-.399-.899 is not enough even though it rounds up to .50-.40-.90. Or, if actually using percent figures, why not put those above examples like this: Bird 49.6-42.3-89.6, Nash 53.2-45.5-89.9 and Hornacek 51.8-41.8-89.7. It's not actually so hard at all... 82.141.67.208 (talk) 01:47, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The rarer 45-45-90 club

Steph Curry just joined the rarer 45-45-90 club.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:41, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Steph Curry is also on pace to join the even more rare 50-50-90 club this season. http://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/3975/stephen-curry — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandlerwentz (talk • contribs) 23:27, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

3O: highlighting the percentages

I highlighted the respective percentages in the chart because I think it's very much needed, it definitely helped me to see the most important information of the article at first glance. Else the percentages go a bit lost in the chart due to there being so many numbers. Sabbatino however says that it's not needed. 3O please. --SdHb (talk) 12:33, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hippo43's Removals

Hi Hippo43. I'm a bit confused by some of your edits here. For example, what is the issue with 966090666? The Score is a well known sports publication, and the information is a third party confirmation of the NBA's policy.

Like, I get removing 966094770 (although removing it for not being in the source there is a bit weird. It's a link to the WNBA's statistical minimums to support the article mentioning the WNBA's statistical minimums. The issue there if anything would be that it is a first party source), but what's the issue with NBA's statistical minimums? 198.52.130.137 (talk) 04:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
