6'9''/6'10'' 252lbs

Bosh shoots under 30% from 3 and shoots under 80% from the line. He has no case.

Dirk or Chris Bosh. Bosh is just smooth.

Are you not aware of Dirk or Durant? Bigs that can shoot are nothing unusual in the NBA, ever since Bob Pettit (probably even before him) there's always been some assortment of 6-9+ guys that can stretch the floor with a highly polished jumper. He's not quite 6-9, but Kevin Love is another 'big' that stretches the floor well with a long range jumper.

He's 6-9 w/o shoes, not close to 7 feet. However, 6-9 does meet the OP's criteria and he's absolutely up there with Dirk as far as best big shooter in the league.

When I think bigs, I think guys who play the PF or C spots. So u gotta roll with Dirk, who's the best shooting big man of all time. U gotta be able to stick it from practically anywhere not just midrange. Dirk and Love are the top two in my book as of now.

yeah its Dirk, Bosh, Love.
Cartier Martin shot .397% from 3, at 4 attempts per game.
Jeff Green shot .385% on 5 attempts per game.
So those are 2 more.

So nobody thinks Teletovic is a great shooter for his size?

If he's a little under 6'9 then LeBron James is 6'5

If Teletovic is considered a 'Big man', then so are guys like Peja, Durant, Novak etc.

I'll go with the big man that won the 3 point contest and consistently makes tough, contested fadeaways.

Lol, Durants chin is parallel with LeBrons nose and you can tell LeBron is wearing shoes that make him taller than the ones Durant is wearing.
Yeah, there's like a 3 inch difference between those two at least

you also need to account for the fact Lebron is closer to the camera (just look at the feet and floor squares) and you would also need to consider what kind of camera (cameras don't have eye depth) but yeah, Durant clearly has more than 1 inch over Lebron.
edit: Lebron is also much more leaning towards the woman since he puts his arm over her shoulder whilst Durant doesn't because he probarbly doesn't want to tocuh Lebron.
Best big man that can shoot: Love
Best shooter of the big men: Dirk
Hoofa22
10-15-2013, 07:13 PM
Love is not 6'9'' or 6'10'' as listed more like 6'8''/255lbs
1. Dirk 7''/245lbs
2. Bosh 6'11''/235lbs
3. Teletovic 6'10''/252lbs
4. Love 6'8''/255lbs
Durant does not make the cut because he is not a true PF/C even though he is 6'10''/235lbs

Bosh or Dirk.
