At which level of competition had he played? If he was a player from a top league, I still find the result pretty impressive, as it was probably made against OD from range 18-20 (I suspect that such a level of OD is a standard in the top flight). And you gave us only FG%, not 3FG%. If 3FG% also was 40%+, we're getting quite close to today's basketball standards of "superior shooter".
