Great topic, HP. Reminds of the days when the 3 point shot was actually kind of rare. Some good names mentioned already. I'll add: Kike Vandeweghe. World B Free. Terry Teagle. Was Byron Scott a good 3 point shooter? I can't remember. Same question for Dennis Johnson. p.s. I do not remember Dominique as a great shooter.
Shawn Kemp. Before he was +300 pounds, he would hit the jumper way out to 20 feet, but couldn't hit the three a lick.
sorry, Michael Jordan does not count on this list. Anyone who makes 5 3ptrs in the 1st Quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals has THREE POINT RANGE!!! And anyone who shoots 42.7% on 260 attempts for an entire season HAS THREE POINT RANGE!!! basically, the point is that anyone who has a coach and team that allows him to shoot more that 200 3ptrs in a season is not eligible for this list. % made doesn't even matter, as guys like Iverson, Maxwell and Starks clearly has 3 pt range while shooting only 31-32% .... jus
Maybe the Jordan early in his career would fit, but certainly not in the 90's... by the latter stages of his career, MJ was a reliable three point shooter as well. He shot an average of 35% from beyond the arc in his last three full seasons (before Washington).
Obviously you don't remember Mo's game then because the mid-range J was his bread and butter, Kenny's j was much more inconsistent and UGLY
...I can't believe no one else mentioned Allen Leavell other than me!?! Whattsa matter with you freakazoids?
calvin murphy... 14% career 3pt shooter.. 89% career free throw http://www.clutchcity.net/playerinfo.cfm?PlayerID=127 i remember reading an article about him.. he put up some ridiculous number in college...
NECRO THREADS!!!! This list is pretty hard to make for newbies, because pretty much every good scorer now has some type of 3 point range to their game, Good shooters with no 3 point range -- Omitting West, Pistol Pete I believe they could/would be pretty good 3 point shooters. I actually think Dream would have 3 point range, if he played today. Retired/HOF: Alex English Adrian Dantley George Gervin Kevin McHale Jeff Malone Bernard King Dave Cowens MJ Arenas (Kobe, T-Mac - Not sure, because they could hit 3s) KG Webber Vlade Right Now: Demar Derozan Pau Gasol Al Horford (wasn't when he started his career, but he has morphed into a decent one, not sure I can put him on here) Brook Lopez Nikola Vucevic Julius Randle (is getting there)
