I though he had a chance to be at the top. But then hard to argue with Nash and Reggie Miller. And I totally forgot about Kerr. His 3p% was insane.
Maybe Reggie Miller, but folks, you should have seen Craig Hodges when he played for the Jordan Bulls. He was flat out awesome.
He played less than 3 and a half seasons for the Jordan Bulls averaging like 6 points. Real awesome. NOT. He did well in the 3pt contest and that's about all he did.
The 2 point % also includes lay-ups and dunks though right? It would be better if it just separated out the midrange shots but I guess that data isn't available.
Reggie Miller is an overrated 3 point shooter... he's in the picture because he takes a lot of threes, not sure about how accurate he makes them compared with above avg 3 pointers.
I wasn't exposed to NBA basketball until the late 90s, so I can't comment on players before that time period like Larry Legend. But watching the sequence of Reggie Miller shoving Jordan to create separation, then running the other direction, curling around the 3 point line, catching the pass, draining the game-winning 3, and doing his little jump-spin celebration is forever imprinted in my brain. :grin: It's Miller Time! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xr9ldg2jL3Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xr9ldg2jL3Q&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Not the best, but somehow he was always my favorite shooter. Especially that one season with the Hornets, when it seemed he just couldn't miss. Of course he kept playing too long when his knees were totally shot, but who really would give up the money.

same here.. i was caught by surprise when i saw him on the list of top 10... not too bad of company... great shooters, all of them
I'm surprised he didn't make the list either. Abdul-Rauf shot 90% from the free throw line and 35.4% from 3 for his career. He was a great shooter and I liked watching him play. Especially when he dropped 50 on the Jazz one time. Gotta love that!
Shooters = shot MAKERS, not shot takers. Which is how people like Aaron Brooks arent on the list though he leads the league in 3's.
