Top 10 Three Point Shooters Ever
Steph Curry
Not many argue against Steph Curry being the greatest shooter of all time. Whether it be the high efficiency on an insane volume, or the ridiculous shot difficulty, Curry can do it all. He has the most three pointers made in history cementing his legacy as the greatest ever
2. Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson was Steph’s partner in crime as they revolutionized the game together. He’s known for his deadly catch and shoot abilities and also for his performances when he gets hot. He holds the record for both points in a quarter (37) and three pointers made in a game (14)
3. Ray Allen
Ray Allen retired as the greatest three point shooter of his generation. He was also known for his catch and shoot ability but also for being clutch. Whether it be in the finals for the Heat or the Celtics, Ray would be there when it mattered most.
4. Kyle Korver
Kyle Korver was arguably the most efficient three point shooter in his prime. He holds the record for highest three point percentage in a season sitting at 53.6% and is also top ten in his career at 42.9%. He wasn’t known for his deep range or isolation scoring, but when he shot it there was a very good chance it was going in.
5. Reggie Miller
Reggie Miller was one of the first great shooters as he retired in 2005 with the most three pointers made. He was great off the dribble, catch and shoot, and could put points up in a hurry. He’s known for scoring 8 points in the final 9 seconds of a game to get the win.
6. Dame
Damian Lillard arguably shoots and makes the toughest threes out of anyone. He got the nickname Logo Lillard for his deep range and is also known for coming up in the clutch or in “Dame Time”. He’s also top 5 in most threes made per game in NBA history.
7. Redick
Similar to Kyle Korver, JJ Redick was known for his efficiency. Defenders had a tough time chasing him around as his catch and shoot game was lethal even flying off of a screen. He’s also top 20 in career three point percentage.
8. Bird
Larry Bird was the first great three point shooter as the three point line was introduced in his first season in the NBA. He didn’t put up the same numbers as the rest of these players, but he was way above the competition of his era. He scored efficiently not only from three but also in every other aspect as he’s one of two players with multiple 50-40-90 seasons.
9. Harris
Joe Harris has quickly become one of the most dangerous three point shooters in the league. He currently sits at third in career three point percentage while on a much higher volume than other shooters on the list. He’s never the focal point of his offense but still is a role player to worry about.
10. Nash
Steve Nash was also a very efficient three point shooter as he was the only other player with multiple 50-40-90 seasons alongside Bird. He was also multidimensional as he could hit threes off the dribble and from catch and shoot.
