because he's bigger and stronger than everyone else that guards him, which allows him to efficiently create shots and finish around the bucket......
53% of his shots are inside the paint - 47% are jump shots
compare how many times he shoots it from beyond the paint along with his percentage and compare it to the ELITE SG's around the league
Demar Derozan has taken 565 shots from outside the paint and hits 35%
Jamal Crawford has taken 554 shots from outside the paint and hits 41%
Arron Afflalo has taken 492 shots from outside the paint and hits 45%
Kevin Martin has taken 461 shots from outside the paint and hits 37%
James Harden has taken 375 shots from outside of the paint and hits 36%
Monta Ellis has taken 356 shots from outside the paint and hits 37%
LeBron James has taken 349 shots from outside of the paint and hits 37%
Goran Dragic has taken 319 shots from outside the paint and hits 41%
as a 6'8" 275 SF, he can shoot it BETTER than Derozan & Harden, who are 22+pt scorers in their own right, but he can also shoot it just as well as Ellis...
as far as getting to the rack, he gets to rack MORE than any of his ELITE SF peers and is ONLY behind 4 really good PF's......
David Lee 527 shots in the paint
Blake Griffin 516 shots in the paint
Thaddeus Young 428 shots in the paint
Zach Randolph 417 shots in the paint
LeBron James 403 shots in the paint
Kevin Durant 369 shots in the paint
Paul Millsap 360 shots in the paint
Kevin Love 349 shots in the paint
Josh Smith 347 shots in the paint
LaMarcus Aldridge 344 shots in the paint
Rudy Gay 333 shots in the paint
Evan Turner 310 shots in the paint
Carmelo Anthony 301 shots in the paint
Tim Duncan 290 shots in the paint
Chandler Parsons 280 shots in the paint
Jeff Green 268 shots in the paint
Paul George 244 shots in the paint
Nick Young 180 shots in the paint
Dirk Nowitzki 110 shots in the paint
Bron is a hybrid freak that can shoot from outside the paint just as well as some of the Elite SG's in the league, but he can also muscle up inside and get to the rack like an Elite SF or PF...
that's why Bron's numbers have been through the roof over the last 4 or 5 years, that's why he's the best player in the NBA and that's why he's a back-to-back NBA Finals MVP.....
