    How about the ScoLandry days? Those 4's had the midrange game on lock.

    Lol.

    I remember his midrange game was so automatic.

    Yao Ming's mid range jumper was bomb as well

    Scola was money, and did not shoot many 3s with the Rox.

    Range is all about technique, the less power you have to put in a shot means the better range you have. That's why Curry kills it and all the catapult athletic jumpshots are far worse outside. The ammount of strength they'd have to put in shooting from the outside compared to midrange is too big and the form+parabole is affected. While midget like curry just shots it the same no matter if its free throws or 10 feet outside of 3pt area

    Mo Taylor never shot above 50% in his career. How do you figure he fits this list?

    Seconded Olajuwon, will raise you a Yao.

    Malone and King are great picks too.

    Would add Duncan.

    Could this include players before they started shooting 3s?

    Because Al Horford shoots well above 50% from midrange for his entire career, long before he became a volume 3 point shooter.

    World B Free's shot looked really cool. Does that count?

    Mo Taylor basically got paid big to be a player that would not be playable anywhere in today's game

    Seems like Shaun Livingston doesn't miss when we play GSW. I dread every time he pulls up with his unorthodox jumper.

    Rip Hamilton was the Klay Thompson of the mid range. Fast release, laser accuracy, always running around screens and a good defender.
