In your opinion, who has the silkiest, smoothest, most effortless looking jumper? (Doesn't necessarily have to be a modern day player).
For myself it is and always has been Jesus Shuttlesworth - aka Ray Allen.

Ray Allen's jumper look so easy.
I like TMac's the best when he was in Orlando. It was so effortless and the way he glides the air makes it look so smooth.

Shawn Marion. That jumpshot is so smooth....
Seriously though I gotta go with Jesus Shuttlesworth as well.

Pau Gasol has a nice smooth mid-range jump shot.
and Dirk and Manu have a nice smooth rhythm too.

Even though he has been worthless as a Piston for 905 of the time(Hell, he hasnt even played in the playoffs) Jarvis Hayes has unreal rotation, and shot mechanics.
Check it out for yourself.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xtkZWSezIQ0 Start at 43seconds so you dont punish yourself with stupid crap. Oh and mute it as well. Just watch his jumpshot. Its like butter.

Reggie Miller. I don't care if his form was a little different. He made it look so simple.

If you're just looking at sweet ass jumpers, Jason Kapono has to be one of the best. Rip, Allen, and Mike Miller are other guys that come to mind.

I think the real question is, why in the hell does Jarvis Hayes have a mixtape?

+1 on Jarvis Hayes..

Funny, I always found that Kapono's jumper looked a bit rushed/forced and he tends to hurl his body forwards when he shoots. Maybe it's because he's so frantic all the time.
My vote goes to Ray Allen.
