March 5, 201313 yr Anyone ever heard of Oscar Robertson or Jerry West..They both could fill it up. Both very good shooters and scorers but not over 50% for their careers. They are in the 2nd tier of shooters IMO. Edited March 5, 201313 yr by HammerTime
March 5, 201313 yr He's not even over 40% from 3 for his career. Will you give me that Mullin is the greatest left handed shooter?
March 5, 201313 yr Both very good shooters and scorers but not over 50% for their careers. They are in the 2nd tier of shooters IMO. Then I suppose I will have to settle for the 2nd tier of shooters/scorers..All I know is that they could put points on the board and are both in the Hall of Fame.:walk:
March 5, 201313 yr Then I suppose I will have to settle for the 2nd tier of shooters/scorers..All I know is that they could put points on the board and are both in the Hall of Fame.:walk: They are some of the best scorers of all time but not the best shooters of all time. The question is best shooter ever. There is a difference IMO.
March 5, 201313 yr Steph Curry might be in this discussion by the time he is done. As well as Dell Curry.
March 5, 201313 yr If #'s are the only thing you want to look at and not how many shots are taken or when, then you got to consider Steve Kerr 47.9-45.4-86.4
March 5, 201313 yr Something to consider when comparing shooters, active players will look better by comparison because they are still in the prime of their career (Nash an exception). Let;s see where some of these guys end up after spending 2 or 3 years with declining skills at the ends of their careers.
March 5, 201313 yr If #'s are the only thing you want to look at and not how many shots are taken or when, then you got to consider Steve Kerr 47.9-45.4-86.4 For sure, he would be in the running.
March 6, 201313 yr If you are less than 80% from the line your name is not in the discussion. Hey! .797 rounded off is 80%! ::banana:
March 8, 201313 yr Steph Curry might be in this discussion by the time he is done. :thumb: What makes it even scarier is that a lot of players tend to shoot the ball better the longer their career plays out. There has been guys who have came into the league without a jumper who have gradually added a consistent one to their game before the time it was all said and done. I would hate to see what will happen with a guy who was already a dead eye. As for all time, I'm thinking Reggie.
