Basically, the title?

Who is the best in terms of Midrange Shooting, Scoring, and Effectiveness?

Is it MJ who uses Midrange as his weapon in Clutch Situations?

Or maybe his carbon copy Kobe?

Or maybe we are overlooking other great players like Dirk, Timmy.

Or maybe 3pt shooters like Steph,Ray, and Klay should be in consideration too?

Or maybe Not All time players but very good players who excel in midrange like Derozan, Hamilton, or Livingston?

Who are your top 3?

KG's baseline fadeaway deserves a shout, up there with the most unblockable shots ever (i really don't remember it ever being blocked, but probably a couple times somebody got it). His volume and percentages all over the midrange is very elite

Jerry West absolutely has to be here too, that one-dribble pullup showed everybody how to do it, still
