Kyle Korver shooting 57% from 3 after 11 games.

BTW, Kerr and Legler's marks came in years in which the arc was shortened.

That's actually Parker so far this season... I'm sure it will go down as the year progresses but that's an amazing start.

Ooops...my bad.

And you are right, it will go down.

BTW, honestly and IMHO, Korver is the greatest pure shooter of all-time.

really? not some dude from the 50s-70s?

Here is my all-time GOAT list...

1. Wilt
2. MJ
3. Magic
4. Kareem
5. Russell
6. Shaq or Duncan
7. Duncan or Shaq
8. Kobe
9. Lebron
10. Bird
11. Moses
12. Hakeem
13. Dr. J
14. Oscar or West
15. West or Oscar

I think that is more indicative of my general opinions...


And yes, Korver has been the best pure shooter of all-time. Kerr is close, as is Bird, and for those that actually saw him play, Jerry Lucas would be among the best "long range" shooters of all-time, as well. Of course, there have been many others in NBA history, too. Guys like Chris Mullin, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, et. al.

Kerr shot 2-3 threes a game throughout his career. Korver regularly shoots 4-6 and is still just as good. Korver is definitively better

[KobesFinger]

Kobe and LeBron above Bird?

[LAZERUSS]

Kobe and LeBron above Bird?

I would take a peak Bird over either of them, though.

[SexSymbol]

Allen and Ray are definitely better, they made a HOF career out of it.

I'd take Nash easily over Korver too.

[BigBoss]

I got him on my fantasy team :cheers:

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Yes, Tony Parker is leading the catagory so far this season. However, Kyle has taken like 60 3 pointers, Parker has only taken 19. The sample size for Parker is small, so there's no way we can just deem him an elite 3 point shooter because of that.
I can easily go on a streak and nail 7 out of 10 threes. Does that make me a 70 percent shooter? I think not.

Korever's is much more impressive.

[stalkerforlife]

And he's doing this while being the only white guy in the city of Atlanta.

How do you not go away from that thinking "Wait, that couldn't have happened... Probably said this season"

[Eat Like A Bosh]

According to bball reference, Kyle Korever also held the previous record, back when he was in Utah 09-10, at around 53.6%. Minimum with at least 100 attempts.
