Boing Boing Gadgets pointed to this visualization of where all of the shots where taken in the last two NBA seasons.
I don’t know whether this is shots attempted or made, i’m currently assuming its attempted. I’m shocked by two things in looking at it though:
First, to see such a sharp drop off from the majority of shots taken right under the rim and for the rest of the Paint to be so poorly defined. Apparently, there’s a lot of layups and not so many teardrops or hook shots from the rest of the paint as I imagined.
Second, to see a neat little ripple a few feet inside the 3-point line. I suppose this is what they call the mid-range jumper.
I also instinctively knew that a lot of 3-pointers came from the corners but i never imagined how many!
