    Calvin Murphy's single season FT % .9581 which has stood since the 1980-81
    season is on the line.

    Jose Calderon is on pace to beat it...

    he's shot 107-109 FTs this season at a .982 clip. That's pretty amazing.

    1. Jose Calderon .9817 2008-09*
    2. Calvin Murphy .9581 1980-81
    3. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf .9563 1993-94
    4. Jeff Hornacek .9500 1999-00
    5. Mark Price .9475 1992-93
    6. Mark Price .9474 1991-92
    7. Rick Barry .9467 1978-79
    8. Ray Allen .9457 2008-09*
    9. Steve Nash .9456 2008-09*
    10. Ernie DiGregorio .9452 1976-77
    11. Chris Mullin .9390 1997-98
    12. Mo Williams .9355 2008-09*

    Check out this season's elite FT shooters! 4 in the top 12 of all time!

    Rockets are hosting the Raptors on 3/3. You fans who are going to be at the arena need to heckle the heck out of Jose. :) <b>Any ideas of how to throw him off his FTs at the game? What would you write on your poster? or what would you yell at him?</b>

    wow Calderon is sick to be shooting this kind of percentage. I am anxious to know how many shots did Calvin take in his .95 shooting season.

    I think if he shot and played twice as much then it is still a better record to me.

    maybe you're right. there's probably a min. requirement. 100 is pretty low~~

    107-109 is still pretty amazing. that means he gets to the line about 1.5 times a game. that should be enough.

    It is time to bring Calvin back to commentators booth for this years playoffs.

    Calvin's comments mixed with Artest's classic comments will rule!!!!! :cool:

    Les, take your foot off the brake.

    Jose is trash, he gets the starting job & all he can come up with is a freethrow record?
