In basketball, achieving the “50/40/90” threshold represents exceptional shooting accuracy. It signifies a player making at least 50% of their field goal attempts, 40% of their three-point field goal attempts, and 90% of their free throw attempts over the course of a regular season. For example, if a player shoots 52% from the field, 41% from beyond the arc, and 91% from the free-throw line across an entire NBA season, they would meet this standard.
This accomplishment is considered a mark of elite shooting prowess and efficiency. It demonstrates a rare combination of volume and accuracy from all areas of the court. Historically, only a select few players have achieved this in a single season, making it a highly respected benchmark. Passing this threshold often correlates with team success and individual accolades.
