He will never be given true credit for his 3 point prowess, but at least you can know what a great player he truly was.

If only the 3 pointer was credited in the early seventies Bo would have well over his 3493 career points.

In the opinion of one eyewitness -who states he rarely missed games at Blackham Coliseum- the bulk of Bo Lamar’s shots seemed to be from 3-point land. If so and he were credited with an average of 4.5 (3P) shots made per game, Bo would have around 3997 career points.

Great intro into the video, Turbine! Would be nice to see our local sports guys use something like that.

Dwight thrived in a zone that came to be know as 3 point land, but was only credited for 2 points per bucket.
