    Cuban is by far the greatest owner in the NBA for shooting off his mouth from anywhere. Period. Hands down. Ènd
    of conversation. Etc. Blah.

    Craig Hodges is the best comparison I've heard so far.

    To borrow Bill Worrell's tired line...... "He can shoot it from the parking lot"

    I forgot all about him. He is definitely the closest. Let's see if he can average 49% from beyond the arc like Hodges did. :eek:

    Not sure if anyone has said because I am not going to look through every post, but what about
    Reggie Miller? Pure shooter, that made his career off of shooting.

    I'd add Dana Barros. I remember particularly with the Celtics he was just automatic. The guy was an undersized back up point guard but he was basically out there to jack it up as many times as possible. Great pull up and stand still shooter. I think he averaged over .400 for his career from range.

    Good one. I hope Troy does this for us instead of against us.

    I'd say Michael Redd and Glen Rice were also good on the move...

    I think he's played too few games for us to know what his spots will be. Eventually he'll have his hot spots shown by stats, as he plays more games. Teams will try to push him to his cold spots and he should become more like other sharpshooters in history.

    Steve Novak? People here have short term memories. That 3 to extend our 22 win streak against the Kings was one of my favorite memories from that team.

    Novak is a stand still spot up shooter. You run him off his spots and he is useless.

    Baron Davis back in the day. He could hit from crazy far to.

    Redick is one of the best shooters coming off a pick or pindown.

    But if i had to vote, i'd say this guy is one shooter who could move around and had range.

    Davis isn't a shooter. He's just strong enough to jack it up from anywhere.
