It doesn't matter. He's looking at the wrong stats all together. Here are AD's actual numbers for the last few years. And I'm ONLY using regular season numbers. NOT playoffs.
0-3 feet (This is considered at the basket) He is one of the best ever at this range.
24/25 - 76.3%
23/24 - 76%
22/23 - 77.4%
21/22 - 78.8%
3-10 feet (This is mid-high post) He is considered elite tier all time here.
24/25 - 49.6%
23/24 - 49.4%
22/23 - 48.7%
21/22 - 51.4%
10-16 feet (This is midrange) He is also considered very good in this range.
24/25 - 36.1%
23/24 - 36.7%
22/23 - 43.2%
21/22 - 44.2%
He is a career 42.2% mid range shooter.
By comparison:
LeBron is a career 37% midrange shooter.
Kobe was a career 43% midrange shooter.
Luka is a career 45.9% midrange shooter.
