The NBA's 23-24 Western Conference was extremely competitive, especially in the play-in regions. As a senior editor, I pay close attention to the performance of three "old men" in the current league and the record of their teams: James, Durant and Curry, commonly known as "Janduku".
We compared their performances this season, specifically in terms of the number of free throws and the analysis of points scored. Curry made 165 free throws and scored 154 points. Curry has consistently maintained an all-time top-level free-throw shooting percentage, which may have had something to do with his excellent three-point shooting and also had an impact on his free-throw performance.
Despite not making many free throws, Curry is more focused on outside shooting, but he's been on breakaway this season as well. Durant made 206 free throws and scored 183 points.
KD made a lot more free throws than Curry, which showcased his versatility on the offensive end, as he was better at scoring under the basket and forcing opponents to foul him due to his ability to catch the ball in the depths of the box. Personally, Durant is still the top player in the league, and his all-round ability is better than Curry and James.
As for James, this season, he has made 162 free throws and scored 120 points. Free throw percentage is still an issue, and it's always been an item that can't be changed in James' technical stats. While there has been a lot of dissatisfaction with James' free-throw performance, this season's stats tell us that he has made very few free throws.
To sum up, in terms of the number of free throws and scoring, Curry's free throw count is small, but his shooting percentage is still at the top level;Durant's diverse offense has led to more free throws compared to James's comparatively fewer, but free throw percentage is still an issue. Each of these three players has different highlights and problems when it comes to their free throw performance.
