NBA: Best Shooter Ever?

Someone mentioned Mark Price. Dude was sick. And didn't he have the best free throw % ever or something? His Cavs would always get owned by Jordan's Bulls in the playoffs, but he could still shoot like mad.

Larry and Reggie of course, and I'm surprised at the lack of love for Pistol Pete.

You are right DM except I would put Pistol Pete above Reggie

the best shooter ever: a tie between reggie miller and larry bird. nothing more to discuss

y isn't reggie miller up there? after all he is mr clutch.and is this legends of the past or aff all time cause of all time ray allen will kick everyones ass except maybe 4 peja cause he is pretty deadly

yep pistol pete deserves more credit but reggie desrevs even more

You guys cant be freakin serious? To not choose Reggie Miller or Larry Bird is to be ignorant..... or dont have knowledge, or you just HATE Reggie or Bird and dont want to choose them..... Instead you choose Dale Ellis? Glen Rice? Maravich? West?? Peja and Paul Pierce!?!?!?!?! I mean, can you please be serious for a while? Shooters like that COME and GO all the time... but they are not EVEN CLOSE to Reggie or Bird.

No one will ever get close.. i mean NO ONE will EVER BE AS GREAT OR GREATER PURE SHOOTERS & CLUTCH PLAYERS THAN REGGIE AND BIRD HAVE BEEN AND THE THINGS THEY ACHIEVED AND HOW MUCH DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE TO TEAMS FOR A VEEEEEEERY LONG TIME AND IN EVERY DAMN GAME!!!

Not even in 100000 Years will there be better Pure Shooters WHO actually can Achieve the things they achieved... JUST by shooting!!!

The ONLY one that is worth to Mention today is only RAY ALLEN, absolutely no one else.... and Ray is not that close either! I mean.. just look at how many 3PT shots Reggie have made for example, its 2600 something (that Record is unbreakable, just like Wilt Chamberleins 100 PTS which not even a BALLHOG like Kobe Bryant could brake)... and EVERY SINGLE 3PT shot Reggie made was HUGE, Almost ALL 3PT shots was CLUTCH shots and BUZZER BEATERS... Not even BIRD can match the Damage REGGIE has done from 3PT Land, .......

Just ask SPIKE LEE and the Knicks... im sure he can answer your questions! 😄

And i heard someone say Steve Kerr??? Hahahahahahahahahaha, the man hit like 1 3PTer every 2nd game... and those were only OPEN 3PT shots with an accuracy of 50%....... REGGIE AND BIRD made like 4-5 3PT shots every game and they had to RUN off screens, being HIT, being Scratched, being Beaten Down, being Boxed in the face, being HeadButted and then finally take the Pass and make that FadeAway 3PT jumpshot with Two Guys hanging on them, one hanging on the Leg, the other one hanging in the neck......... and STILL average 40-45% from there......... and STILL be there EVERY game to Make the CLUTCH SHOTS.......... THATS SHOOTING!!!

Kobe Bryant is in there if you put Dirk and Pierce in. When he gets hot theres no stopping him. Ex.

Kobe Bryant Scores 52 Points- Jazz at Lakers

At this time the Jazz were the best team in the league. Kobe man-handles them!
That was last week by the way and Kobe not at 100%.

Kobe's coming back from the injury. It could be scary. One thing to say: he had 81 points. Oh and another 63 and didnt play the third quarter against the Mav's!

Yes but the title is not best scorer........cuz we already know Kobe is #2 at that at all time, it's best shooter. And those great performances didn't have great %'s on those nights except the Dallas one.

Kobe is not the best shooter, period. There's a big difference between being a great scorer and a great shooter. Dirk is a better shooter than Kobe. His percentages are higher and his efficiency is greater. He scores less, because he doesn't shoot 90 shots a game. And pretty much everyone is unstoppable when they're hot.

That's what I was trying to get TaZ#12 to understand.

Kobe can score, Dirk can shoot: He doenst drive it in alot so yeah Dirk is a good shooter.

😉

Kobe can score from anywhere (hes proved it)!

True.

Hi all...
Mine best are: Larry Bird, Reggie miller and Michael Jordan. Though Michael Jordan was not one of the best in his earlier days, now he is really the best shooter. Also Larry Bird and Reggie Miller are the best.

Wesley Person, Reggie Miller and Paul Pierce

As long as he remains clutch and healthy, I see Ray Allen eventually surpassing Reggie Miller for the top spot.
