MY TOP 10: 1: Ray Allen 2: Reggie Miller 3: Dirk Nowitzki 4: Larry Bird 5: Peja Stojakovic 6: Michael Jordan 7: J.J. Redick 8: Steve Nash 9: Rick Barry 10: Glen Rice
greatest shooters is different than greatest scorers . If Chris Mullins isn't on a greatest shooter post it's not complete. All these men on this post are great scores . but only Miller and Allen are great shooters. Dell curry and his son are great shooters. Nice try but the post is lacking what the title suggests. Fun to watch
Allen has the most 3 pointers of all time, Oscar Robertson has the most triple doubles of all-time, Chamberlain has the most rebounds of all-time, Magic Johnson has the most assists of all time, I just wanted to say.
Michael Jordan shouldn't even be this conversation. Hes the greatest player ever, and probably the best scorer. But not even close to the greatest shooter!
@gratefulcreedence reggie miller was the pacers star player so of course he'll get the ball more, ray allen has 2 Future HOF on his team and a great PG he doesnt need to make 8 points in 9 seconds
the stats are clear morons, miller has a better FG%, period. allen has a higher 3PT%, sure, but jordan wasnt nearly as good as any of these at 3pt yet hes the most amazing of all time. 3pt is not what makes a shooter the best, sure its more points when it goes in...but we're talking about shooting in general, miller is better, period, its a fact look at the stats
If we're talking about top three shooters of all time, then Jordan should not be in that category. He's the greatest player, but not the greatest shooter. It should really have been:
Ray Allen is better than Reggie. Why? pretty simple. Ray has the most 3 pointers of all time. He has a better percentage than Reggie. Ray has the most 3 pointers in a single season. Ray has the most 3 pointers in a half, a series, and a finals series. Ray tied for the most 3 pointers in a finals game. Ray in 2010 broke his OWN record for most 3's in a finals game. Ray has a better free throw percentage, and Ray has the most continuous free throws made. Honestly if you pick Reggie your biased.
@HarvardYard1 Better percentage? Reggie's is 39.5, and Ray's is 39.9. That's a tiny discrepancy. Ray has already attempted more threes than Reggie did in his whole career, and keep in mind Ray only played 27 games for two straight seasons. Of course you're going to have more career threes as a pure shooter if you attempt 6 a game vs Reggie who attempted 4.5 career. Reggie's FG% is .47 while Ray's is .45 which is a much bigger gap. Reggie led the league in FT% 5 times, while Ray never has.
So is what I said wrong about the percentage? no, haha. And on the ft% doesn't matter if he led the league 5 times. All that matters is overall who had the higher percentage.
ray in his prime was to me the best player/gaurd in the game because he could create his own shot and he had mad hops and drove but as time flew by he realized his role of the swingman and 3point specialist no harm in that, and nash is a point gaurd he is going to shoot the ball a lot less than ray thats why his fg percentage and 3point percentage is beetter,
How does Ray own Nash? Both were drafted in 1996 so they have both been playing the same time. Nash has a career fg % of .484 which blows away Ray who has .450. Nash has a career .432 three point percentage Allen isn't even a career .400 shooter at .386% Allen slighty edges Nash in free throw percentage Nash has a career average of .894 and Nash .893
Allen just has a higher career ppg average and Nash has shot over .400 from 3 every year except one. Allen has shot under .400 plenty of times
its a shame ray had like 2 bad games in the finals, now for some reason all you tards have forgot how good he is and are hating him for shooting bad a couple of times...alright now
reggie miller is the best shooter ever he knew how to use screens shoot off the dribble hes the best clutch performer ever and hes the all time 3 point leader
Why jordan shot over 50 percent 6 times kobes never been near 50 lol jordans a way better shooter, Jordan, Miller, Allen, Bird, and Glen Rice (people dont realize how ridiculous this guy was hes an exactly 40 percent career from beyond the arc) are probably the best 5 in no order.
FG% is an overrated way of determining a great shooter. The reason Jordan got such a high FG% is because he was constantly taking the ball to the basket b/c he didn't have to shoot.
@briang25 Alot of that over 50% was finishing at the basket. Im sure if you could find a stat for shooting percentage at 15 to 20 feet out. Kobe would have a better shooting percent. Not taking anything away from Jordan's greatness though. Definitely a better player all around then Kobe.
@lagosdre lol no wayyy. ray allen is a better pure shooter than nash man, i mean nash is a better player he's unbelievable but ray is a better shooter, ppl seem to forget how good he is because he had a couple of bad games in the finals
jordan doesnt really even belong on this list he's not a pure shooter just an all around player. #1 Reggie #2 Ray Allen #3 jordan. Game on the line down by 3 im going with reggie miller without question
i think the song is warlike!> hihihi

Miller - shoot, layup, clutch
Johnson - shoot, layup, block, pass
Bird - shoot from where the hell he wants and still manages to score
Olajuwon - shoot, pass, jump, block
Jordan - win
MJ had to compete with round 15+ HOF players for MVP titles... and than u ppl say Kobe, Lebron... who?

RAY ALLEN best season in 3 point % is SNASH career average in 3points...
Snash is by far a better 3 point shooter than RAY...
Against STATS there are no arguments...
Ray Allen never had a good season in 3point %...
He is overated ( i guy who finishes 0/7 from the 3 point line is overated) and he does that a lot of times...
