    I honestly think he lifts weights too much. Notice how most great shooters are the finesse type of players. Ron's body seems so awkwardly built for basketball.

    Great shooters:
    Ray Allen
    Reggie Miller
    Brent Barry
    Mike Miller
    Kobe Bryant
    Kevin Martin
    etc etc...

    All have a finesse build.

    Of course this argument isn't perfect... There are exceptions, but I honestly think Ron's huge upper body has something to do with it.

    ^^^^ Seriously?

    I agree. His bulk makes his shot more mechanical than fluid.

    I love how you include Mike Miller in that last, dont forget about good ole Mike Miller, one of the greatest shooters in the league and recent history!! haha

    Cmon Man! No one would even think of him when making up a list like that.

    If you're being sarcastic, I included him because his career 3pt% is 40%... and he shot 48% this season from 3.

    I would say he's well known around the league for being a great shooter.

    His offense is just as good as his rap game.

    Are you aware that you're talking about a career 32% three-point shooter who had made a grand total of four three's before being traded to the Lakers a couple of years ago? Two-thirds of the three-pointers he's made in his career came this season in Houston. The guy can definitely be left open.

    You know after the collision with Kobe last year in the play offs he's never been the same....
