Who do you recognize as the 2nd greatest shooter of all time?

[OrangeBlueSkies]

I agree with you, Wardell is the greatest shooter in the history of the league. But who’s the second greatest of all time?

Klay, ray, Reggie ? Dame?


Talk to me fellas i cant figure this one out

Honorable mention to Durant - I think his jumper is just so insanely smooth.

But my answer has to be Reggie Miller. People look back and say "oh well he didn't shoot that many 3s really" but nobody did back then. He was shooting more 3s than almost anyone else and hitting them at a great clip.

But the 3-pointer wasn't even his best shot! The 18-foot catch-and-shoot jumper after curling around 3 screens was his money, his bread and butter. And his free throw shooting was off the charts, leading the league most seasons.

True Shooting Percentage is a good stat for judging pure shooters. If you look at the all-time leaders, it's mostly big men. The highest ranked guard is Steph Curry, at number 8.

The next highest ranked guard? None other than Reggie Miller.

Reggie was a great shooter but really needed those screens.

Ray Allen maybe.

Can't believe you forgot Jimmer Fredette.

[Kingdibs19]

Ray

[MrGoat]

Pistol Pete is the only one who might have even been able to seriously challenge Curry for the top spot

[zero rings]

It’s gotta be Durant. Dude never gets to the rim anymore, and he’s still one of the most efficient scorers in the game. His mid range stats are mind boggling.

Honorable mention to Nash

[canada_dry]

Steve nash.

Especially if you consider the different levels of shooting and not just 3's, mid range, free throws included.

But even if not, nash comes to mind for his pull up ability and efficiency from deep.

Glen Rice was one of my favorites. Dale Ellis was excellent

[f4p]

Reggie or Nash. Reggie's career TS% is better than Klay's career high.

[Larry Ellison]

I have a Klay jersey hanging in my closet. But his play has fallen off in recent years. Steph is alone in Tier 1. I would put a group of players in Tier 2 including Klay, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, and maybe even guys like Dirk and KD. Gun to my head, Ray Allen is my #2.

[kane0801]

Dame or Klay

Dame is more like volume shooter than great shooter

[OriAr]

Gotta be Reggie Miller or Ray Allen

[Mephariel]

I still think Klay. But Durant is the best volume shooter outside of Steph. I can't believe he isn't top 10 in 3 pointers made even though he is more mid-range centric.

Lillard makes tough shots.
