Without battling an eye....

[NumberSix]

ya because theyre not one dimensional

but asside from jordan.. kobe, bird and west could knock down shots from all angles at anywhere on the floor

jordan was the same up till around 15 feet

but theyre known as scorers because they can score in any way on the floor.

being known as a shooter isnt a good thing. it usually means you suck at other aspects of the game


i'd still rather have kobe/bird/west/barry taking my shots for me than a set shooter..

kick out/set shots/screen shooters get easly annoyed if anything changes. if someone breathes on them they miss..

anything to mess up their rhythm

kobe shoots left handed out of rhythm and they go in anyway

Great scorer get/create good shots. Chuckers take what they can get.

Come back to me when Kobe hits 6 3's in a half, in the Finals, not some meaningless regular season game

thats allot for jordan..

but kobes had a game where he hit 12.. setting an nba record

try again

Curry is one of the best pure shooters I've seen and to me is easily the best in the league right now

[eeeeeebro]

Allen, Korver, Lebron, Kobe, durant, Curry, Rose(this year), Danny green, Parker, Nash(old), Mike miller

I would like to say Allen is hands down but on any given night these people can all light it up. You dont want to leave them wide open on the 3 point line. Curry is right there with allen though. But the Miracle shot allen made well that just puts him up there.....

Right now? Allen.

Without battling an eye i would say Steph Curry.

While battling an eye I would say Ray Allen.

And after i battled an eye I would say Kobe Bryant

[Fiasco]

Did you mean batting an eye?

In the spare of the moment.

Location: Chicago
Rose career 31% regular season, 25% playoff 3 point shooter

If Kobe/Melo were as efficient as say Lebron/Durant today they would be those "one dimensional" guys you speak of aswell.... fact is, none of these players are one dimensional, some are just better at getting more high % buckets.... its not like lets say Kobe doesnt want the easiest bucket he can get? The whole reason to him chucking up more worse/bad shots (or sorry, i mean, cool non-one-dimensional moves) is because he is inept of doing what Durant/Lebron can....

I certainly don't agree with KennethGriffin or whatev his name is, but it looks like you seriously just used one game to show that Jordan had range beyond 15 feet... awesome sample size. Jordan's range was more like 20 feet, though. But still, he didn't have 3p range, except for that one or two seasons where the 3p line was shortened.

Anyway, as to the OP, Curry and Durant are the two best shooters currently in the game, particularly taking into account volume.

Curry, Durant, Jimmer
