Drazen Petrovic is the best shooter ever played in NBA

[East_Stone_Ya]

His scoring abilities were showed first in the Europe... I think that he could achieve a lot more if there would not be this sad accident...

YUBA most points scored by an individual in a league game -112
ACB most points scored by an individual in a final series game 42
ACB most 3PT field goals made by an individual in a final series game 8
NBA 1991-92 second highest 3PT field goal percentage (.444
NBA 1991-92 fourth highest field goal percentage among guards (.508
NBA 1992-93 second highest 3PT field goal percentage (.449)
NBA 1992-93 second highest field goal percentage among guards (.518
NBA third best career 3PT field goal percentage (.437)

He wasnt even 30 yet... there were at least 5 more pro years here in NBA... but he already showed the world how good he is. He was perfectionist...

Greatest? WTF is this nonsense bull-do-doo
I would even rank Rex Chapman over him, just because his career was cut short doesnt give you right to imagine nonsense

Your post is nonsense. Reggie Miller and Larry Bird have both said that Petrovic was the best shooter they ever saw. So it is sure the hell not any "nonsense" for him to have made such a topic post.

no player with such a short career should never be considered as greatest..ever

Prime Shane Heal would be a 3rd string bench scrub, just like the current best Australian PG Patty Mills is.

He'd have been a shooter, he's great at that. Like I said he's not a good PG so....
And Mills ain't the best Australian PG, Kyrie Irving says hi

[moaz]

Why does James Dean always come to my mind whenever Petrovic is mentioned? (actually whenever his ultimate greatness sis mentioned)

[Clutch]

Petrović is GOD here in Croatia.
One of the greatest European players of all time.
R.I.P

Heal was 32 when he played in the NBA, much like the other GREAT Australian Basketball player, Andrew Gaze, the American audience didn't see him at his best. As a pure shooter he is without doubt one of the best ever seen.
Unfortunately given his size and inability to run a team as a PG (at that level of compitition) he didn't last at all in the NBA.

Bullshit, Heal also played in the league at age 26.

Dana Barros couldn't run a team either and was even smaller than Heal, yet he played very good in the league over 10 seasons. Heal could simply not shoot at the NBA level. The NBA was way above his ability in any aspect of the game.

all 10 are TIER 1 in this department tho... so....

[DJ Leon Smith]

Craig Hodges is in that top tier as well.

Petro might not be #1, but he's in the top 1% at the very least. If you think otherwise then you're a weak era/career wasn't long enough/Euro-hating/retard.

its just respect and kindness for his pupile....

Larry bird said Reggie was a better shooter than him once
in the 90s Reggie said Drazen Petrovic was the best shooter he has ever seen
Drazen said in the 90s that Larry Bird was the best shooter ever

Reggie Miller has said that about at least 6 players.... glen rice... dale ellis.. dell curry... drazen petrovic... larry bird and now ray allen...

FACT IS.... REGGIE MILLER - LARRY BIRD WERE THE BEST SHOOTERS EVER....

Ray Allen has the most beautiful stroke out of the bunch.... but he was not as efficient and exactly as versatile of a shooter as those guys......... but close

Couldn'shoot at a NBA level? lol what? How exactly is shooting any different regardless of where you play?
And don't even try to say the defenders are better blah blah cause if you ever saw Heal you'd know getting blocked wasn't even close to an issue.
At that time the NBA had the shortest 3pt line in the world, if anything shooting in the NBA is easier than anywhere else....
