Shots Made in the NBA

This is a scientific look at shot distribution made in the NBA between 2006 and 2011.  Interesting pattern, and in the full document it is broken down by position.  



"The image above shows the point scoring per field goal attempt, from 2006 to 2011. Red means most points and blue means fewest; the size of the squares indicates how many shots were attempted from each spot. This mass of data averages out about right, especially the orange rim around the three-point line and the red spot in the key."
