Who do you have?
IMO the list should be
Rip Hamilton
Alex English
Dirk
Adrian Dantley
Bernard King
George Gervin
LeBron
Steve Nash
Paul Pierce
and finally
Ray Allen
IMO its a lot of older players in this list, the mid range has become a lost art in today's NBA, it was more specialized in the past.
Dray
Klay
John Cena

Not bad, currently with the 8th slotted pick Kings have a good chance for a top 3 pick. :oldlol:

Why you so mad bro? :oldlol:
Delonte West.
Delonte West, when he creampied Gloria from mid range.
When it comes to this question, my criteria is being a great scorer numbers wise. And from there, putting a FOCUS to dominate a game from the midrange area consistently:
MJ
Bird
Kobe
King
Dantley
English
McAdoo
Dirk
Iceman
Pierce
Melo
Mullin
People really sleeping on Mark Price and Garnett huh :no:
only a few guys from today's game - players go for the easy stuff nowadays - midrange shots are too hard.

Basically any decent player from the 80's or before.. They had no choice - defenders didn't guard the 3-point line, so they just crowded the paint.
[I]When the paint looks like this, ballhandlers don't even CONSIDER getting to the rim - the only option is a midrange jumper:

Few names to add most are missing here:
Bird
Mark Price
Garnett
Jerry West
Reggie
Durant
CP3
Tom chambers
Mitch richmond
Jeff hornacek
Eddie johnson
kiki vandeweghe
the list can get rather extensive to be honest. There were alot of great midrange shooters.
is dubeta retarted? real question here..
Oscar or Dirk .
NBA.com defines "[I]midrange[/I]" as all shots outside the paint that are inside the 3-point line.
In Jordan's 63 point game against the Celtics' #1 defense, 12 of his 22 made field goals were 2-point jumpshots outside the paint (midrange):

3 more jumpshots were made slightly inside the paint... Overall, 15 of Jordan's 22 made field goals were jumpshots.
And that was just Game 2... In Game 1 of that series (his 49 point game), 9 of his 18 made field goals were jumpshots outside the paint (plus 1 more jumper that was slightly inside the paint):
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wId1-GdesWU[/url]
So in Games 1 and 2 combined, 21 out of his 40 made field goals were 2-point jumpshots outside the paint (midrange), with another 4 jumpers coming just inside the paint.. Overall, 25 of his 40 made field goals were jumpshots.. Contrary to what many people think, Jordan was an elite midrange jumpshooter from the outset of his NBA career.
How the **** did only one or two posters in this thread(besides 3balls) mention MJ's name?
The **** is wrong with you ******?

I really doubt MJ is a legit answer to be honest. He's clearly the first guy to come to mind, but while he was a great shooter in that range. He's not the best from shooting.
A guy like Jerry West might come to mind though many reasons why his stats won't look as such. Bird is a good choice. But bottom line is MJ was a great shooter but not all time great. his greatness was in large part to his abiltiy to get to the basket. and being a great shooter made that easier.
CP3 is the best midrange shooter in the league.
Jordan
small gap
Dirk

Lebron being on this is list is a joke even for a troll that doesn't believe what he's saying
