Reminds me in middle school I always would argue that I could beat Derek Fisher one on one because all he could do is shoot.
Interesting that three of the players on that list were on the Lakers 3-peat team at the same time averaging over 60 regular season wins and losing only 13 playoff games over 3 championship runs.
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those were games of like shooting 1 for 4 while Shaq and Kobe scored 70 of the team's 90 pts. The context of the era, and who they played with matters a lot.
It's not like Fish was jacking up 20 shots a game
Damn.... 3 of the 5 are apart of the 3peat Shaq and Kobe Lakers. That's no coincidence. In the deadball era on the best team of the era. I guess when you don't get the ball often, it's hard to make shots when you do. Simutaneously though, those Lakers couldn't afford anyone else and could win with worse teammates so who tf cares?
I remember always being so frustrated with him when he drove to the rim.. would always get blocked or shoot it off the backboard.
He seemingly got hot in almost every playoff run that I can remember.. he shot close to 50% from 3 a few times too.
Julius Randle still gunning for it though.
Homie caught a stray.
Hell yeah, fuck Derek Fisher. Always fucked the spurs for no reason.
If Kidd had a better shot he would have been a top 3 pg of all time
HOF Chucker
Julius Randle: allow me to introduce myself
Nothing less than he deserves.
No I'm not still mad shut up.
The Thompson Twins have entered the chat.
Except for Jamal Crawford (who didn't get the memo), the other guys on that list have combined for 16 NBA championships (I think).
Hakeem Olajuwon’s career blocks doesn’t look reachable as well.
"No bricks no rings."
Probably most blown open layups in nba history too the fucker
Always on the fast break
He's also tied with Tony Parker for all time most player's wives stolen.
That he lied three times to get out of his contracts?
I don't think being bad at something counts as a record. no one is trying to break it, and as the league always improves, no one will break any old "this player was really bad" record
Crawford said he could average high 20s per game if he started in today's NBA lmao
Crawford would have a vastly different game playing today. I could see it.
Funny how 3 of 5 people on the list were kobe's teammates who had low usage. Probably just went 1/4 in a bunch of games
Didn't know Marcus smart entered the league at 19
Combine all that with the fact that the NBA today is more efficient than ever before
Efficient as in points per shot, sure, but the rise of 3s makes it more likely to have nights with low field goal %.
I see a low volume good defensive player getting there while shooting corner threes.
If he has two 1/4’s and one 2/4 every three games he’s still shooting a passable 33% from three.

That's just a pointless stat. Records are meant to be broken or at least challenged. If it's impossible to break or not a positive-type factor then who cares. Like if someone plays in the NBA for a short time and misses once and that's their only shot nobody cares that their career shooting is 0% and nobody is trying to replicate that or challenge their record.
If only Devonte Graham played more games
Becky with the good hair smiled
Am I dumb for being surprised at Horry being 3rd on this list?
the top players are gonna be players that shoot very little and played a lot of games
cause having 0/2, 1/4 type of shooting games is really easy
Killian maybe?
It’s crazy because in 2002 somebody would have told you fisher was the best 3 point shooter on the team outside of Robert horry
He is a top player for 3s made in finals history
Nephews: clearly dick fish wasn't one of the all time greats but he was a solid, serviceable point guard whi was unafraid of the moment. You could do much MUCH worse than dick fish.
Also the .4 second game winning shot against the Spurs. That record will probably hold for a long time.
Dillon Brooks?
What a missed opportunity by Udonis Haslem
This is what happens when you can't dunk
How about fisher and Shaw having been championship teammates despite that shooting.
All from the 00s, easily the worst era
Damn. When you think of Derek fisher and big shot Bob, you don’t expect them to be on this sort of list.
Jordan Poole, I present you your next quest
Easy to shoot under 30% when you go 1 for 4
How about his shot against the spurs with point 4 seconds. Clutch!
Weren't Fisher, Horry, and Shaw all teammates at one point? You'd think with Kobe and Shaq, those players would get so many good looks.
why did he hit scola that hard that one time
He also scored that game winning run in that thrilling World Series game between the Astros and Dodgers.
