    Remember, one of the reasons he came to Houston was to get away from the bright lights of LA. He's not one to step up under pressure. A superstar role player.

    They should make a simulation FT practice room that feels like he's in a game.

    The irony is Yao can probably shoot over 80% FTs when playing as Dwight in NBA 2K13.

    I wonder about these stats. Is he shooting 85% overall after hitting only 10% of his first 10 or so shots?

    If so, It honestly doesn't matter what his overall rate is since in real-game situations he doesn't get 50+ opportunites straight without any interruptions.

    Jeremy Lin is shooting a higher percentage from 3-point range (51%) than Dwight Howard is shooting from the line (48%) yikes

    51.4% from 3 as of tonight.

    And over 54% FG%.

    Jeremy Lin's 3pt% is currently higher than the FG% of EVERYONE on the team... obviously it can't last, but holy smokes. :eek:

    So a guy getting paid 22 million a year that can't make a free throw?

    That's just pathetic.....
