Best 3 point specialist in history.....

[9erempiree]

Here are some of the best 3 point specialist in history. In no particular order because each of these guys were fantastic.

Steve Kerr- career 45% from the arc.

Reggie Miller- his game relied heavily on his 3's and made a living with it.

Kobe Bryant- one of the greatest players ever and 3pt shooter ever. Made an incredible record of 12 3pt shots made in a game.

Ray Allen- probably the greatest 3pt shooter in history. One of the few 3pt specialist to lead his team to a Finals victory last year.

[Random_Guy]

kyle krover? And kobe shouldnt be on the list because he is basically an offenseive threat from anywhere, not a 3 specailist.

[Budadiiii]

Kobe followed by Ray Allen.

Good shit. Love Allen's caption.

[Keno]

lebron is shooting a higher percentage than kobe from three. if that rat faced snitch is on there, then so should leking.

[Dr. Ice]

Easily korver, and not just because of his godlike 3 pt. percentage. People should just watch him play one day and realize how much his presence completely dictates what the defense does.

EDIT: oops didnt realize this was gonna turn into a lebron/kobe troll thread

[9erempiree]

lebron is shooting a higher percentage than kobe from three. if that rat faced snitch is on there, then so should leking.

He is not even the best 3pt shooter on his team.

[kamil]

LOL

What's that? Some extra spicy thai curry?

[J Shuttlesworth]

LeBron shot 40% from 3 last year. Has Kobe ever done that?

[JohnFreeman]

Kobe isn't even top 10 in 3 shooting

[russwest0]

LeBron shot 40% from 3 last year. Has Kobe ever done that?

Has Kobe ever been guarded like Rondo in the Finals? :oldlol:

[9erempiree]

LeBron shot 40% from 3 last year. Has Kobe ever done that?

I would be impressed but he is known to pad his stat and he probably stopped at a certain number of attempts. While the guys I have listed shoot the 3 without hesitation.

For example:

-a guy going 4 for 10 isn't as impressive as someone that makes 100 out of 300.

Again, people like to bring up Lebron's stats to justify him. Those guys I mentioned, you don't really need stats to believe it. I did it for formalities. I could have done without them.

He hits them when it matters. 5-10 in 2013 game 7

You make a good point. I think someone going 100/900 3PT is > than someone going 99/100. Great points 9erempire. Your logic is astounding

[ThePhantomCreep]

Not a specialist (then again, neither are Kobe or Ray) but Curry > all

44% on six attempts per game for his career is absurd.

[Budadiiii]

You make a good point. I think someone going 100/900 3PT is > than someone going 99/100. Great points 9erempire. Your logic is astounding
What?

:facepalm

You went full retard. Lay off the dope.

[Inferno]

Not a specialist (then again, neither are Kobe or Ray) but Curry > all

44% on six attempts per game for his career is absurd.

And currently at 42% on 7.7 attempts this season :applause: :applause:

[TheMarkMadsen]

You make a good point. I think someone going 100/900 3PT is > than someone going 99/100. Great points 9erempire. Your logic is astounding

:roll: I know you're trying to use his logic against him but that was a terrible attempt

[9erempiree]

You make a good point. I think someone going 100/900 3PT is > than someone going 99/100. Great points 9erempire. Your logic is astounding

Except my example is realistic which makes it logical. Your numbers are not realistic.

Try to make them look like real numbers at least, before you go calling people out.

:facepalm

[russwest0]

This J Shuttleworth guy is an epic dumbass :lol

[TheMarkMadsen]

I wouldn't call Kobe a 3 pt specialist, 'specialist' implies that you are best at. 3pt shooting isn't the best part of his game

[J Shuttlesworth]

:facepalm
lol. LeBron's had many seasons over 100 3's at a higher clip than Kobe. He's not taking a small amount of 3's and if you watched him play, you'd know this :lol

[J Shuttlesworth]

Of course Kobe's not a 3 pt specialist. Neither are Jordan/LeBron/Durant. It's just an agenda thread

[T_L_P]

You're the reason people hate Kobe fans.

Let me guess, Kobe's gonna show up on your "best defenders" list? And no doubt your justification will be a YouTube highlight reel.

[rmt]

The only statement that should have Kobe and best 3 pt together is it's about the only thing he's better at than MJ.

[Bless Mathews]

Oiler empire is an idiot.

He was in the other hotel room in Colorado and finished Kobe off.

Fakkit

[Bless Mathews]

He uses an example of " he once hit "..

Along side 3 of the goat 3 point shooters ever.

Dude is biggest Kobe fakkit lover in internet history.

[qrich]

If you mention Kobe have to mention Marshall since he also owns the record.

But clearly, the answer is

http://kfba.net/etc/playerpics/336.jpg

[Genaro]

If you mention Kobe have to mention Marshall since he also owns the record.

Except for the fact that Marshall game was clearly a fluke. Without the record game Kobe shoot 7 or more 3 pointers in 10 ocasions, Marshall in 3.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[hahaitme]

Kevin Durant > Kobe Bryant

He doesn't statpad like Kobe (takes more 3's per game) AND has a higher percentage.

Hell, I think Westbrook is a better 3 point shooter than Kobe, purely because of his alpha-factor. Has no fear, will shoot legendary 3's whenever he needs, straight up doesn't give a ****. That's bad-ass.

I will exclude LeBron from this discussion, he's not really a 3 pointer specialist like Kobe, Durant & Westbrook.

[Dro]

LoL, this dude will go to any lengths to prop up Kobe..here I am expecting to see a serious thread(why I have no clue). I expect to see some names like Dale Ellis, Craig Hodges, Kyle Korver, Steve Novak, Peja Stojakovic, Dell Curry, and yet I see Kobe grouped in with 3-point specialists.....Op doesn't even realize he's marginalizing Kobe while trying to d*ckride him at the same time....

Curry

[pauk]

lol, Kobe again, you are funny though 9erempire.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Currys already the GOAT 3pt shooter

[Rake2204]

LoL, this dude will go to any lengths to prop up Kobe..here I am expecting to see a serious thread(why I have no clue).

I wasn't sure I'd be able to argue for him being the best, but I surely thought Dale Ellis at least deserved a shout-out of some sort. He was hitting at a high clip (and scoring a lot) at a time when the triple was still sort of a low percentage circus shot.

[SCdac]

Mid-season, Kobe was absolutely killing it from beyond the arch last year

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y147/adrumaddict/kobeshooting.jpg

[atljonesbro]

I really don't think you can make a case against Kyle Korver. Korver has the percentages as well as the volume. GOAT 3 pt specialist with ease.

[Kargo]

Of the Top 25 All Time career 3-point scoring leaders,Kobe has the worst shooting percentage by far.

Kobe's career percentage is 33,5%.The next worst out of the top 25 is Jason Kidd with 34,9%.

Players over 40%:Ray Allen,Peja Stojakovic,Dale Ellis,Steve Nash,Glen Rice,Mike Miller,Kyle Korver,Brent Barry.

[LEFT4DEAD]

Reality is, Kobe is not even top 50 3pt shooter of all time.

I see what you did there:pimp:

[toooo]

Kobe. The GOAT.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

OP has gone insane once again. putting a 33% career threepoint chucker in there and saying Ray allen lead his team to victory in the finals( and the dumbass sure as hell doesnt refer to 2008:roll: :roll: :roll: )

[DuMa]

OP dumb as Aldon Smith it seems

[tmacattack33]

1. Get Kobe the f outta there.

2. If we're just limiting this to "specialists" then you may need to take out Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, who did other things well on the court besides shoot threes.

What Curry is doing truly is amazing

[Bless Mathews]

Dale Ellis was wet.

Rippin 3's hungover as fucc. With his ILL low cut Air Force III's. FONky.

[veilside23]

right now i would my money on curry. off the dribble . pull up . contested... dude has done it many times.

[f0und]

one of these is not like the others

[kaiteng]

Michael Redd, when he was assigned as one with Team USA.

[9erempiree]

That's is part of Kobe's game in a nutshell.

Dale Ellis is underrated like crazy.. I see plenty of all-time greatest shooters lists without his name on it :facepalm Only part of his shooting that wasn't elite was his ft shooting.

At his best, in the late 80s with Seattle, he had 3 combined seasons putting up 26 ppg on 51/41/80, peaking at 27.5 on 50/48/82 in 1989, taking over 4 3's per game :bowdown: Actually made some noise in the playoffs too.
Jumper was so wet, such a quick release, he was like 6'7, pretty athletic, great without the ball, could finish inside and post-up, grab some offensive boards..
After his prime, he still was a reliable scorer and 3pt-specialist for various teams.

Peak Ellis would be the best SG in the game today, you best believe that.

Would he be better than a healthy Wade? I know Wade will never be healthy again, I'm just asking....

[SHAQisGOAT]

Would he be better than a healthy Wade? I know Wade will never be healthy again, I'm just asking....

That's the thing though, "what's" a healthy D-Wade at this point? Or even D-Wade as a 1st option at this point... Can't be sure.

Anyways, James Harden is generally regarded as the best SG in the game today.. Ellis was like 3'' taller, even more athletic, simply a better shooter from the perimeter with a quicker release, much better off-ball, smarter with better shot-selection, could post-up really well and take advantage of mismatches, take it to the rack, could be a factor on the offensive glass, actually could put the effort and play some D.. Harden gets to the line more (he wouldn't go as much as right now in Dale's era, though) and he's a better FT shooter, he's a better playmaker and defensive rebounder, but all of that won't give him the edge over Ellis, Dale's peak didn't last long though.
