NBA - Main

Ray Allen will always have Game 6. Would have to pass him by a ton both in volume and % like Steph for anyone else to be considered over him.

Reggie and Dame are all-time shooters, but I would take Ray over them

I often wonder how much better Ray Allen would've been if he played in this era.

No.

Bird or Curry, debate the rest. And I'd take Stojakovic over Shuttlesworth too.

yes

it's also hilarious going back and looking at some of the numbers

99-02 he shot 43% from three, only was taking 6 a game

he led the league in TS in 01 at 61% lmao

that's also why it's really important to look at relative to the league averages, the early 2000s to mid 2000s were nasty ball, so even like a 57% ts was huge at that time

Dame's been at a season of 64.5% ts, but his highest TS+ was 111, Ray's was 118

Yes

Ray over Reggie or Klay

Curry clay ray Reggie those guys are my top four atleast order is tough

Curry and Klay are one and two. Klay before his injuries has the best jump shot form of all time.

He has a strong case although I'd take Klay.

I’d give the slight edge to Reggie Miller but if you argue for Allen I’m not going to hold you.

2023 RJ Barrett is the greatest 3 point threat ever to be seen on an NBA floor

Hell nah

Before Curry the debate was Bird, Reggie Miller, or Allen. Most gave the nod to Allen with appreciation for Bird playing in the wrong era for being such a weapon from downtown.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to oblivion but Ray is overrated as a 3pt shooter. He would go on epic cold stretches and would just keep chucking. His training, his form and his pedigree was top notch. But he was a very streaky to me. As a Celtics fan, I genuinely wanted Pierce with the ball for a clutch shot not Ray. (Yes of course I know about his winning shot for Miami)

I would much prefer Reggie Miller.

Yes, but he also has one of the most aesthetic swishes of all time IMO. His shot doesn't arc that much (barely clears the top of the backboard a lot of times), it's just like a sniper threading it directly in

People leave off that a good player was 46% from the floor. If you shot 33% from deep you were a 3 point shooter. The offense was built around the paint with the jumper to keep you honest. It wasn't only about practice, the coaching staff wanted the team shooting 60% in the paint shots. The opportunity to take the shots was limited as well. Ever see a guy cold take a couple of threes and miss them then hit 4 in the 4th. Very few had rhythm at the deep shot. Plus when 3 pointers did make it to college it was top of key. Lots of great college 3 point shooters couldn't hit 3s in the pros their first few years.

Yes
