Steve Nash shooting 52% from the field, 44% from three and 92% from the FT line has to be the best in the NBA for all 3 shooting categories.
In no particular order:Ray AllenMichael ReddGilbert ArenasRip HamiltionWally SzczerbiakDirk NowitzkiRashard LewisPeja StojakovicBrent BarryLeBron James
Dirk was way down on 3 pointers attempted this year...but still had a ery high average, so he should still be high on everyone elses list.Lebron shouldn't IMO...

Because you forgot Raja Bell. He's 4th in the NBA in 3pt percentage and 3rd in the NBA in 3Point Field Goals Made.
Yeah I did. I think he might be a little overrated though. He was a 38-29% 3 point shooter before he went to the Suns. Its also no coincidence that the Suns have MVP pointguard Steve Nash. I think I see a correlation there, same with Diaw and even Eddie House. Their 3 point percentages went up because Nash is the most creative PG in the league and the way their offense is run theyll get a lot of open looks that most guys in the NBA would make anyways. Yeah, Bell is a good player, but I dont think hes one of the best 3 point shooters. If he does it for a different team without a MVP pointguard making the plays then I'll be impressed.
In the Suns offense you get open three pointers because of the drive and dish, thats why you have abnormally high percentages there...(Well except Quentin Richardson).
Yeah i know. But putting Lebron over Raja is just ludicrous. I went by this year not overall shooting ability as well. Or else Ray Allen would have been #1.

For me, Ray Allen and Dirk are neck and neck for #1. They may not only be "shooters" like a Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, but they are able to craete three poitners like few in NBA history, letalone the NBA today

But also he didn't shoot many 3 pointers.Also, Josh Childress in 65 attempts has made 32 which is right around 50%..I guess he wasn't eligible for it because he didn't shoot enough.My Top 10:1. Ray Allen (SEA)2. Mike James (TOR)3. Ben Gordon (CHI)4. Steve Nash (PHX)5. Dirk Nowitzki (DAL)6. Chauncey Billups (DET)7. Kyle Korver (PHI)8. Bruce Bowen (SA)9. Peja Stojakovic (IND)10. Raja Bell* (PHX)Raja Bell is lower on the list because he plays with Nash whereas Mike James on Toronto has no one yet he shoots great 3pt%...
He shot 120 times...it's not in the 400 range where alot of shooters were in, but he also shot a better %.Really, 3% is not that much but he's that much better than Billups..
