Shaq named his boat Free Throw because he knows he’ll never sink it

I feel bad for SB Nation. There's an entire team they have and all we want from them, is Jon Bois.

Next video idea: What if Shaq was forced to play basketball with Barry Bonds' bat?

Fun fact: If Kareem missed all his free throws, he would still be #4 in scoring all time.

where's jon???

We asked for Jon Bois They gave us Jon Bois

if he missed every free throw, wouldn't the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy have been even more of a thing? he wouldn't be 0-for-11252, he'd be 0-for-30k or more...

Jon Bois two times in a month??? The world must be ending.

This is good, but its not Pretty Good

We asked for chart party They gave us dorktown

I'm curious about what would have happened (same analytics) if he was a decent free throw shooter. How much would it have helped his teams if he made 80-85%??

Basketball is my favorite sport. I like the way they dribble up and down the court.

JON. YES.

Still doing chart party right???😥

The question should be "what if he made every free throw?"

I saw the thumbnail and thought it was chart party. Saw the name, got disappointed. Opened it anyway, felt bliss.

"If you just don't try, it'll be fine" Jon spitting straight truth at us again

Our lord and savior jon bois

I played my brother in 2K some years ago, back when Shaq was still playing and at a high level. I became quite pissed, because my brother shot (and made) more 3s in that game with Shaq than Shaq attempted in his entire career, and hit them at an 90% clip, including a 3/4 court shot to win at the buzzer.

Man where the hell is card show There were so many cards left to open

Love the new series, but it can’t beat the aesthetic of pretty good and chart party. Please keep those going!

The stat that amazes me the most is that his entire career amounted to one month of floor time in an NBA game. That is mind blowing

Jon bois is the goat

God Bless Jon Bois.

Here you go, folks. This is what would ultimately give us The Mariners, The Falcons, Dave Steib, Steve Bono getting outrun by an O lineman, and a literal plane crash.

Please keep chart party going!!!

PLEASE DON'T GET RID OF CHART PARTY!!!!!!!!!

“I resimulated his entire career” *jon intensifies*

Jon Bois is the best man ever. However make chart party great again

Because he was so good at everything else, Shaq always said not being good at shooting free throws made him a humble basketball player.

One more thing to consider: what % of missed free throws did Shaq’s team get offensive rebounds? Some of Shaq’s misses would have resulted in points for his team, how big an impact on the data would that have?

I think it would've actually been more interesting if you made a video of what if Shaq actually made 75% of his free throws.

They should totally do an episode on Bartolo Colon and his awesomeness

Alright!!! Jon is back and he brought a friend to play dork with!!! This is awesome!!! Can't wait to fill my head with all of the knowledge these two will bestow on me!!

Q: What if Shaq missed every free throw he ever took? A: Kobe would own a Shaq-skin rug.

Q: What if Shaq missed every free throw he ever took? A: Chris Dudley would've averaged 8 fouls a game.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into these videos for us :]

Was just listening to a song by J Dilla and guilty Simpson today what has the lyrics 'I don't make raps for free, if I did I wouldn't make it like Shaq from three' what a coincidence. Love the new series though

Yes we want more of this show

@SB Nation Whatever you do, don't let Jon Bois go. He is the backbone of sports journalism.

Finally more Jon Bois. Thats Good. I need even more now. Feed me more Jon Bois. Jon BOOOOOOOOIS!

greatest intro of all time

My favorite Shaq statistic is that when David Robinson claimed the scoring title in the 93-94 season after dumping in 71 points in the final game of the season to beat him by 1 half point (29.8 to 29.3). They were 1 and 2 in total free throws attempted. If Shaq had made just 28 more free throws of the 850 he attempted, he would have won the scoring title by .02 points

Awesome vid! It'd also be cool to see how much better shaq and his teams would have been if he improved his ft% little by little.

My sister told me about this strategy she discovered after decades of research on how to succeed (generally in whatever). It’s fairly simple: work on things you excel at while never putting too much effort in things you’re terrible at cause they’re a lost cause. My immediate thought was Shaq. Shaq is a player who does what Shaq does best while never needing to care about what he does poorly. If you took Shaq’s skill set in a game like NBA live or NBA 2K and evened then out across the board... he’d be an interesting player... So, take all stats Shaq has (PPG, shots per game, rebounds, steals, blocks, etc) and weigh them against the average. By percentage of players who’ve had enough time on the court for their stats to be relevant. The average = a value of 5. You take what Shaq did and figure out his value based on the average. So... from 1992-2011 the FG% was collectively .477 Shaqs carreer FG% is .582 (582x5)/477 = 6.1 He’s 1.1 above average in FG% through his entire career. I’m curious how his stats as a whole would be laid out if this were done for all of his stats against the average, then all of his stats were evened out across the board.

i admittedly don't like this format for chart party as much as the classic style, but it was still a cool video and i still love you

hey... Im all glad for the update of the show and all.. two thumbs... but before you get all willy nilly with your new stuff, can you go back and upload the missing EPISODES OF CHART PARTY PLEASE.. i mean, at least if its a copyright issue, send me a link to it so i can watch it at my (read: our) pleasure. Thanks in advance!!!

Pretty neat video. Never followed basketball much, but I found this video pretty interesting. I've been a fan of Chart Party for a while, and while this video is different, I certainly wouldn't say it's "worse and not-as-good". It's certainly not Chart Party, but it's not bad. Anyways, if having this series means getting to watch more stuff with Jon Bois and his charts and graphs (which make both sports and statistics interesting to me), that makes it pretty good in my book.

Wow Jon Bois giving me things I didn't even know I wanted 😍

While certainly interesting, the most intriguing part of this video was finding out the Bulls used to be called the "Chicago Zephyrs."

I loved every moment of this video.

I'm amazed Wilt has a percentage of 51.1%. Unbelievable.

Oh my god, I literally just looked up Shaq’s 3 point percentage in his career a few days ago!

Literally clicked on this video going "Well it's not Jon Bois but guess I'll check it out." But it IS Jon Bois! Best. Surprise. Ever.

If you miss a free throw so hard that it magically bounces all the way back into your own net.. do those points count against you if it isn’t ruled intentional?

The comment sections of the Jon bois videos are happy he's there and the comment sections of the other videos just want Jon bois.

YES JON IS BACK

> Not Chart Party I sleep > Jon Bois is there anyway REAL SHEET?!?!

More Jon Bois, finally.

Hey Jon, love your work, but that Monster Factory show you recommended. When does it get good?

Bois is back in town!!

"You don't have to try really, and everything's going to be fine." Life lesson learned, thanks dudes.

The great one has returned

did i miss the part where they covered his fts in the playoffs? cuz i feel like maybe some rings might be missing in that case.

Daddy Jon Bois is back!

This music reminds me of a 90’s PBS special. And it’s a cure for insomnia

I love it when the creators i appreciate appreciate each other. Monster Factory is fantastic and i know jon is smart because he agrees.

A new thing by the Bois!!

Jon the savior has risen

I want my chart party😭

If you think about it, if you take away the free throws, he would finish a game with an odd number of points one time in his career

I appreciate that they both got the memo for casual lumberjack Friday at the office.

Wait is chart party done?

Thanks jon

no no no!!! the best parts wear the music and editing. pls this was the best show on the internet

I love this but the presentation and visuals of Chart Party is what we want and need

Jon Bois.... I’m crying

Daddy Jon is back!

We ask for more Chart Party and Pretty Good. SB Nation gives us this. It wasn’t terrible, but no where near where Jon’s other series are

When are we getting the Jon Bois / McElroy crossover?

Now....what if he made all of them!? 🧐 @sbnation

Please do more! I will move to dorktown

Please don't say this is the end of chart party!

The Shaq percentage at distance chart reinforces my opinion that with Shaq's skills, if he weren't 7'1" and 300 pounds (or whatever he weighed) he wouldn't have even been in the NBA, let alone a star.

It must be Sunday because we're all out to worship.

I got really sad when Jon left his old channel never realizing he came here but o have finally found him

Heck yes Jon Bois

Never change Jon Bois, except now, I like this change. But never change again.

I've been watching so many of these videos that my dreams were all animated charts last night. I'm not complaining, though.

Jon BOIS = GAWD

Can they you's make a playlist with just all the videos jon is in plsss

We did it boys. (Or should I say bois) we say where Jon bois and they give us Jon bois.

More Dorktown please

5:42 it's like a chart showing the insane distance between astronomical objects, lol

When I hear that Jon Bois is back: 3:05

Did SB also adjust the teams that now have extra wins, or just the Lakers who have extra losses? Probably wouldn't change too much in the standings, but i don't know if the standings were close enough to drop Shaq's team success

Fun fact if every nba player missed all their free throws that'd be pretty funny

WE WANT MORE JON BOIS

Tim Duncan went 30 for 158 in 3-point percentage in his career. I’m just saying this because I love Tim Duncan.

Saw the title and just knew that was Jon
