50–40–90 Club

The 50–40–90 club is an informal term referring to the group of National Basketball Association (NBA) players who have had a shooting percentage at or above 50% for field goals, 40% for three-pointers, and 90% for free throws during an entire NBA regular season while also achieving the NBA minimum number of makes in each category. A total of seven players have had 50–40–90 seasons.

50–40–90 indicates a great all-around shooting performance and is considered the ultimate standard for shooters.Steve Nash has the most 50–40–90 seasons with four, two more than any other player. His lifetime 49–43–90 average is the closest anyone has come to achieving a career 50–40–90 mark.Stephen Curry is the most recent player to accomplish this feat, during the 2015–16 NBA season.

Since the NBA introduced the three-point field goal in the 1979–80 season, the 50–40–90 shooting threshold has been reached by seven players: Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. Nash and Bird are the only players who achieved 50–40–90 in multiple seasons; Bird was the first player to join this club and achieved it twice consecutively while Nash achieved it four times in five seasons. Nash narrowly missed five consecutive 50–40–90 seasons by shooting at 89.9% from the free throw line for the 2006–07 season, one made free throw short of the 90% mark. Curry is the only player to average at least 30 points-per-game (which led the league in scoring) while joining the club in 2016, with Bird narrowly missing the mark at 29.93 ppg in 1988. Nash and Curry are also the only ones to average at least 45% from 3pt range while achieving this feat. Larry Bird is the only player to win a championship while shooting 50–40–90 in the playoffs (minimum 15 points per game). In the 1986 NBA Playoffs, Bird averaged 25.9 points per game, 9.3 rebounds per game, 8.2 assists per game, shooting 51.7% FG, 41.1% 3PT, and 92.7% FT.
