BTW, best shooter 'while being mugged' I've ever seen, as hard as this is to admit, is Allan Houston.
why is h3ll is Dirk on this list - he is a dangerous player, but not even in the top 50 guys I want with the ball down by 2 with 5 ses to go ?!?!
Best in your face shooter I've ever seen is Purvis Short. He was also good at fast break 3 pointers...I think he had over 50pts a couple times...59 points once... Two streaky in your face shooters were World B. Free and Vinny "the Microwave" Johnson, but they were not as pure as Purvis The best shooter I've ever seen period is Chris Jackson in college...it was scary...so scary he was the #3 pick in the NBA draft right after Gary Payton without having the NBA body. The best shooter while having other game that I've ever seen is Larry Bird. The best midrange shooter I can think of is Alex English
My take: Best pure shooter: Larry Bird Best shooter coming off screens: Reggie Miller Best form: Ray Allen/Glen Rice/Chris Mullin Quickest release: Del Curry Best mugged shooter: Allan Houston or Jeff Malone Best range: Rice Best streaky shooter: Vinnie Johnson Best clutch shooter: Bird or Horry Best cold shooter: Curry Best ugly shot maker: Jeff Hornacek Quietest shooter (least amount of action in shot): Mullin or Curry Best shooter if my life depended on it: Bird
I'm reading this thread thinking the same thing. Difference is, I'm dead serious. Prettiest shot in the NBA: Allan Houston, hands down. Ugliest shot in the NBA: Shawn Marion, hands down.
I was pseudo-serious, but don;t know that he'd make my top 50. Great shooter, though. Have you seen Bo Outlaw...er.."shoot"?
ugly form runner ups: Adrian Dantley Alan Leavel Fat Lever's back court mate...forget his name...Michael something Ugliest trajectory: Rodney McCray Funkiest spin: Kenny Smith Free Throws form: Bill Cartright Larry Smith Most annoying free throw routine: Adrian Dantley Derrick Chevious Ugliest overall: Shawn Marion .... The best coming off screens I thought was Dale Ellis...didn't run around as well as Reggie, but had a better release and more effective with a hand in his face. Reggie is good at creating space with his quickness and change of direction.
Dantley's routine was sooo annoying, damn! Kidd's should be there too. BTW, Rolando Blackman should be among the top 50 shooters.
