I know exactly what you're talking about. As a Laker fan I've had endless debates about Kobe vs Shaq in the Laker hay days. Shaq fg% was way better than Kobe's but the ft% balanced things out and even swung things in Kobe's favor so I really can't argue your point without selling out my "precious"...err...I mean Kobe.
