ignoring percentages and the 3point line fetish of today & merely going off my eye test and ability to shoot tough shots while well guarded

Bird doesn’t exist for some of these posts.

I'd put Steve Nash ahead of everyone but Steph Curry.

He can even be argued over Curry. He was that good.

u can create a 2k player with the skills of reggie milller, ray allen and steve nash combined, and there is still no argument that this player is better than Curry. He is just that good.

Peja was a good shooter as long as it wasn’t a pressure situation.

Any lists without Steve Nash dont count.

Here is the eFG% and TS% of each player listed in the thread so far... plus Jokic, Harden, Barry, Reddick, CP3.

I've listed them by descending order of TS%... since I think TS% is a better measure than eFG% to determine who was a better pure shooter. eFG% adjusts to include that a 3PT FG is worth 1 more point but that doesn't mean the player converted more shots from attempts. I've used eFG% as a tie-breaker when TS% is the same.

Top 5:
1. Steph Curry (eFG 58.4, TS 62.7)
2. Nikola Jokic (eFG 57.3, TS 61.5)
3. Kevin Durant (eFG 54.6, TS 61.5)
4. Reggie Miller (eFG 54.4, TS 61.4)
5. James Harden (eFG 52.8, TS 61.1)

Honorable mentions:
Brent Barry (eFG 57.0, TS 60.7)
Steve Nash (eFG 55.6, TS 60.5)
Kyle Korver (eFG 57.4, TS 60.2)
JJ Reddick (eFG 55.5, TS 60.2)
Steve Kerr (eFG 56.4, TS 59.3)
Drazen Petrovic (eFG 54.4, TS 58.9)
Chris Paul (eFG 52.2, TS 58.3)
Dame Lillard (eFG 51.9, TS 58.3)
Ray Allen (eFG 53.0, TS 58.0)
Peja Stojakovic (eFG 53.7, TS 57.7)
Dirk Novitzki (eFG 51.2, TS 57.7)
Klay Thompson (eFG 55.1, TS 57.5)
Hubert Davis (eFG 53.7, TS 56.6)
Larry Bird (eFG 51.4, TS 56.4)
Michael Redd (eFG 50.3, TS 55.8)

PS: Timmy-lovers who like putting him over Kobe in Top-10 lists should note that Brent Barry has the 6th best TS% of all shooters, even higher than Nash, Dirk, Klay, Allen, etc. Yet even with Robinson + Manu + Parker + Barry, etc, etc... Timmy still couldn't repeat, lol.

Steph-47 FG---43 3PT---91 FT
Bird-50 FG---38 3PT---89 FT
Nash-49 FG---43 3PT---90 FT
Price-47 FG---40 3PT---90 FT
Miller-47 FG---40 3PT---89 FT

Bird had to do it in a much tougher era which makes his numbers really stand out. Plus he shot from everywhere on the floor unlike the others who were primarily 3pt shooters.

[Commodor]

Bird & Dirk need more love on these lists.

You could find a place for Fred Brown. He was a marvelius shooter.

All no1ns on offence with a tonne of defence applied to them so these 3 stand out.
