Being efficient definitely correlates to winning! 😭💯 (SWIPE)

“FG% doesn’t win you games” might be one of the funniest responses you could leave under a Kevin Durant efficiency post 😭 KD himself had to reply with “???” because what are we even talking about?

According to these numbers, Durant is 489-189 when shooting at least 50% from the field, compared to a nearly even record when he falls below that mark. Obviously, basketball is a team sport, but acting like elite efficiency has no connection to winning makes absolutely no sense.

KD isn’t protecting his percentage by only taking easy shots either. He’s scoring from the midrange, pulling up over defenders, creating off the dribble and taking some of the most difficult attempts on the court. The fact that he has remained above 50% from the field season after season as a high-volume perimeter scorer is ridiculous.

People have become so accustomed to Durant making contested shots look effortless that they no longer appreciate how historically efficient he is. When KD is converting at his normal rate, his teams usually have a great chance to win. The numbers are right there—efficiency absolutely matters 😭🎯🔥
