It’s nice to have a full-fledged Nowitzki back in our lives. As you can see, Nowitzki isn’t afraid to shoot the basketball. And, like James, he produces points at incredibly anomalous rates — but unlike James, Nowitizki’s freakish efficiency is away from the basket. He’s been on fire again (figuratively, thank goodness) from midrange. This season, 27 NBA players have attempted at least 200 midrange shots, but Nowitzki is the only one of them making 50 percent of those attempts. What’s crazy is that he is the most efficient midrange shooter in the game despite the high level of difficulty associated with most of his attempts; he constantly creates his own shots in the face of defenders who are expecting him to do that exact thing.

Nowitzki has been awesome in all his usual spots this year but has been the best in the league near the left baseline, where he is making 56 percent of his shots
