Who's got the longest range in the NBA currently? All time?

[oarabbus]

Who's got the deepest range, now and all time? I don't mean guys like Bosh or Harden who are half-court threats on a last second shot. I'm talking about the guys who can stand several feet behind the 3 and let it fly, and you better guard em when they do. So these are guys who have the ability to hit it from deep and actually take deep shots, not ONLY when they are forced to.


Vince Carter hits some insanely deep 3s. Mirza Teletovic has a lot of range as evidenced by youtube vids, but doesn't seem to shoot from quite as deep in the NBA. Carlos Delfino hit some retarded shots but is hurt now. What yall think?


edit: I know Curry has range, guys. He's a freak of nature the likes of which we haven't seen, I was talking more about 3pt specialists who have range AND demonstrate range.

#30 for the Warriors, and #35 for the Thunder

[KungFuJoe]

Back when Reggie Miller played, some commentators joked that the NBA needed a 4pt line just for him.

[iTare]

Dat one light skinned guy on your favorite team

[Milbuck]

Can't decide between Durant and Curry. Kobe used to have some absurd range as well.

[Demitri98]

Who's that point guard that plays for Golden State... # 30-something...erm, he's like 6'3, half and half, can't think of his name...

He got insane range doe.

Oh, and that tall skinny guy who scores a lot of points for the Thunder.

[Genaro]

Those already mentioned and Arenas. The guy used to pop 5 feet beyond the line.

DO you remember the Arenas - Tmac half court show in the all star game?

[LosBulls]

All Time: Reggie Miller
Now: Steph Curry

[Mass Debator]

Jamal Crawford?

[Trollsmasher]

Jamal Crawford?
this

[T_L_P]

Marco Belinelli shoots a few feet behind the line almost every game.

Chris Bosh, did you see him in the shooting skills?

He was draining half court shots like they were lay ups :lol

[Genaro]

DO you remember the Arenas - Tmac half court show in the all star game?
Yeah,but it was a fundraiser game doe. Miss them both. Those were good times.

[sd3035]

They were definitely two of the most exciting in their time

[chocolatethunder]

Lots of guys have that range and never show it. I've seen Garnett crank out almost half court shots like he's shooting free throws. Jimmer is terrible but his range is pretty on point. He can make those shots too, he just can't create any space in the NBA to get off a shot.

[kamil]

All Time: Reggie Miller
Now: Steph Curry

This.

dafuq??


Well i know Kobe could/can drop some insanely beautiful long bombs... Bron too though. He's hit kind a few like that one vs Celtics 2012 ECF G7, the 4th quarter killer...

Where hes defended tightly on the left side, but needs to get a shot up, stops on a dime, pops up, bang.

I remember he bricked the GW afterwards..

Didnt get the call, complained.... different times man

No..the final play was in OT and he was blatantly fouled on a 3 to win.

[DuMa]

TMac

[Proctor]

Arenas seems the most obvious choice to me. The dude used to pull up and pop 30 footers with problem, seemingly always at the buzzer.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Dan Majerle:

Why "No" then? :lol I was right

[SexSymbol]

Kobe's range is incredible
Miller, Curry, KD too

Chris Bosh.

[ralph_i_el]

curry
Lebron
Durant
Vince Carter especially in his prime
Jimmer
Paul George
Lillard
Monta Ellis

[Big#50]

Dan Majerle.

[RR#9]

Not saying he's got the longest range but this one shot I thought was pretty nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3BY9z_PH6s

But now I guess it's between Durant and Curry

Alltime I believe everyone should be saying Dan Majerle. The guy would shoot 3's at a minimum of 3ft behind the line. And it wasnt for showoff reasons ala Arenas, you could tell it was where he was comfortable at

[Nuff Said]

Lebron has insane range just lacks accuracy.

[memetherapy]

It's gotta be Vince in his NJ days. Dude was almost at half-court sometimes.

[scm5]

I dont think Kevin Love has been mentioned and he should be.

[ImKobe]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siw7-8sdR_Y

how many plays make a jump shot from near half court look normal?

this was pretty good as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Cc2cwxQEY


Kobe's average 3pt% has always come from taking the toughest shots behind the arc, seems like every game I watch he tries to get at least one of them in, he's hit some impressive deep 3's over his career, this one is my favorite, mostly because of the classic reaction by Wade, but damn, that 3 is ICE COLD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoYeFQ4Q1Go

[plowking]

As far as not changing up their form? Vince, Lebron, Gilbert and T-Mac are the guys. Everyone else seems to shoot more from the hip once they start getting further out.

Vince is clear cut number one for me though. Guess it's the crazy drive he has in his legs due to the massive vertical leap. Makes sense that Lebron and T-Mac are some of the best at it too.

[CavaliersFTW]

Some of those set shots dudes from the 40's and early 50's had ridiculous range, not even joking, by the 1960's the effective range of players looked like it almost got cut in half after the jump shot became favorable to the set shot, only in recent years have players drifted back out to almost 30 feet when shooting

How exactly does the set shot work? You sort of "catapult" or "overhead pass" the ball into the hoop using both hands? Are we talking that Noah/KG two-handed shot, without their jump hitch?

I can't hit half court shots by snapping my wrist on a non-jump shot, not with any consistency. I'd need to heave the ball.

[SHAQisGOAT]

For all-time I think I gotta go with Chuck Person, dude was taking/making 3's like these, time and time again:

Thunder Dan also crazy yea

[inclinerator]

me

[JohnFreeman]

I remember the Chicago and heat 2011 series. Ball get's kicked out too LeBron, he is closer to half court then the three line and he swishes it.

Agent Zero could pull up from well behind the 3 pt line and make it look easy
