NBA: Best Shooter Ever?

I'll take reggie in the 4th quarter anytime

Larry Bird
Reggie Miller

craig hodges? 25pts in the 3 contest?! reggie though for clutch shooting

Miller or Bird.

ooops...throw Ray Allen in there too.

Hmm... this is a tough one... really tough, there's so many great shooters...

In terms of best pure shooter, you'd most likely have to go with steve Kerr, however if your'e talkingabout in game situation with someone in your face, that's another story. I'd probably take Larry Bird in that case.

If I have a final shot though, a mid-range shot, nobody in their right midn would not choose Michael Jordan.

Just totally depends on how you classify it.

Ray Allen's my pick but thats for 3 pointers.

Larry Bird

Larry Bird and Reggie Miller.

George Gervin. He was considered the best outside shooter in the ABA then came to the NBA where he averaged over 26 points per game during his career. If he had played in the era of the 3 point line, his numbers would be right in the neighborhood of 30 ppg, right there with his airness.

Nice choice. 👆

reggie miller, larry bird.... and myself.

in a few years, maybe even peja stajokavic... but so far he hasnt proven to b a great GAME shooter.

Kyle Korver might be up there soon too. He's a monster.

I think Peja's best years are behind him.

if its anywhere within 10ft of the hoop... i'd go for shaq. its more 'placing' the ball in teh hoop than shooting, but i think i have a solid case😄

Im not sure Shaq and shooting should be in the same sentence, especially from 3ft and out. He gets his points from dunks and layups because he can get such good position.
Ive heard loads of so called experts say that Shaqs free throw problem is due to his hands being so large, what do you guys think?

Free throws are pretty tough with a nerf basket, right?

Nerf basket? 😕
