[sportjames23]

You can only choose one. Of these, who do you pick?:

Steph Curry
Steve Kerr
John Paxson
Ray Allen

Updated again to include:

Mike Miller
Mark Price

[sportjames23]

And of course, they're all in their primes.

Reggie Miller
Steph Curry
Steve Kerr
John Paxson
Ray Allen
Reggie just because he was fearless and a big game player.

[Thorpesaurous]

I would take Ray Allen easy.

He's the best defender on that list by a country mile. Curry may very well be the best player in a vacuum as he can play the point, is the best ball handler, and probably the most creative.

But Ray is the second best on that front in all areas. In his prime could masquerade as a PG because his handle and vision were that good. He's by far the best finisher at the rim out of the group. And the best filling the lane on the break.

I'd take Curry second, and Reggie third. Reggie needs the offense run to him more than Curry does. His best Indy teams were running him on offense the way the Celtic teams did with Ray. But prime Ray was a different animal.

He's almost not fair to put on this list. Someone like Dell Curry or Dale Ellis makes more sense.

[Nash]

Curry = point guard, play making abilities

Kobe

[Im so nba'd out]

Chef Curry

Chef Curry

I been Steph Curry with the shot. Been cookin' with the sauce, chef, curry with the pot, boy

[Dragic4Life]

Steve Kerr for me.

You need an alpha to shoot the gamewinner in case the leader of the team gets shook in the finals.

[ImKobe]

Ray Allen for me.

You need an alpha to shoot the shot that saves the series when the leader of the team gets shook in the finals.

[VengefulAngel]

1) Steph
2) Ray
3) Reggie
4) Steve
5) John

[ArbitraryWater]

Obv the best player of those, so Steph

[kurple]

i need a 3-point assassin and nothing else?

Give me Kyle Korver

didnt say he had to be great of the dribble ala curry

[Dr. Ice]

Korver, obviously.

[T_L_P]

Kyle Korver.

From that list? The one who won a title as alpha dog.

[QuebecBaller]

Reggie for me

Nobody like "The Hammer" Matt Carroll? :D

[r15mohd]

gotta be Reggie...fearless and the fact that he can get open and take you off the dribble for a pull-up was also another dagger of his

[swagga]

ray allen by far. Curry isn't even a better player, just a better shooter (not by much). Ray allen is an offball god and clutch in the PO.

Why are you taking a sample size from one game. I can do it here too with here: http://youtu.be/ZSe80qSgXVA

I'd pick Ray Ray.

Its 2 games actually:confusedshrug:
And I could bring up all of Lordbes epic 3 point explosions but that wouldnt be fair to the others.:pimp:

[hateraid]

To build a team Reggie Miller. Great competitor and leader.
If I had a go to leader I'd take John Paxson.

[dannywpt]

Ray Allen for me.

:lebronamazed:

These bran tards basically ether themselves. It's too easy

[Hey Yo]

I'll say Reggie, because he's the one most likely to get a whistle with the arms flailing and falling down. If the shot doesn't drop, then he still goes to the line for 3FTA

[atljonesbro]

Kyle Korver AKA the greatest shooter of all time.

[penny4president]

one of my fav. player Reggie... but where's Peja???

[Done_And_Done]

Ray for me...

He's proven that he's willing and capable to play a role in his teams specific system. Adding a prime Ray to any contender in the league right now immediately makes them deadly.

[Mass Debator]

Reggie. He seems to want the moment more.

[hateraid]

Andrew Toney
Hersey Hawkins

[sportjames23]

Steve Kerr for me.

Seems like Bron coulda used him.

[Element]

Curry easily

[FatComputerNerd]

What about Shoeless Mike Miller?

[sportjames23]

What about Shoeless Mike Miller?


Aw shit, I forgot about him.

[kshutts1]

3p assassin says, to me, a role player. For that, I pick Korver, probably.

If said assassin also needs to be a star, then I'd go with Ray.

Though to offer up other shooters/players that have not been mentioned...
Nash
Craig Hodges
Ryno
Billups
Shard
Durant
Dirk
Schrempf
Houston
... and the list goes on.

[hawksdreamfan44]

Ray Allen

[SCdac]

over the course of a season? yea I'd take a bunch of the guys listed

no love for Horry in this thread though. give me him. Dude was so clutch on 3 different championship teams (rockets, lakers, and spurs)

[J Shuttlesworth]

Ray Allen. You get a clutch 3 pt assasin as well as a good ability to get to the paint, or create his own jumpers off the dribble. He was also a pretty good defender. Prime Ray is a beast and i trust him in the clutch more than anybody

HM: Horry, Miller, Peja

[dreamwarrior]

For a spot up 3 I'd take Miller. He gets open better than anyone and never gets tired.

Curry is the most valuable since he's a legit PG.

Ray in his prime was the most skilled offensively.

And for clutch 3's I'd take Bird just because I'd have the most faith in him

[Nets fan 93]

Hard pick between Curry and Allen.

[BigMacAttack]

Steve Kerr for me.

Like Ray in 2013?
