    Even if you do make a skin suit out of HCP his wife still won't let you touch her.

    Jerry West, George Gervin, Alex English, Steve Kerr, and Drazen Petrovic were insane shooters, too. Petro was awesome in New Jersey.

    He shot over 50% twice from 3pt, and had a career 51% on FG overall.

    Also, why put Bird at a "lesser degree". He owned the 3-pt contest when he participated in it, played when the 3-pt line was 23'6" and still shot 40% many years, and is a career 50% FG shooter and 89% from the FT line.

    His career 3 point % is 37%. Nash's career # pg FG% is 43%, and he shot over twice as many 3's.

    Ray Allens % is 40%, but he shot over 4300 MORE three pointers.

    The three point line is currently 23'6". Nash and Allen only had 1 year where the 3 point line was ker-flewy. Neither one really benefited significantly from the shortening of the line.

    Not saying he wasn't a good shooter, he was a better SCORER than Nash or Allen though. Better PLAYER than either one of those were/

    43% is wicked. Kerr is the all-time leader at 45% over a career.

    Actually, Pistol Pete was a career 67% shooter from three, but he only played one season with the rule and was a scrub at that point because of his knees.

    thats why I brought up the # of shots they took. Kerr was a solid 3 point shooter but he shot 1600. Ray Allen shot that in his first 6 years. And then shot another 5500.

    I get what you're saying, but if the qualifier is 'greatest shooter', then Kerr has to be up there. It was the other parts of his game that kept him on the bench, but in terms of shooting, he's the best I ever have watched play.

    I see what you're getting at. I think though, that a player who's specialty is 3 point shooting, vs a great shooter, makes it hard to single out one or the other.

    I mean, I'd take Kobe Bryant shooting a jumper before I'd take Kerr, in similar circumstances.

    Meaning, having the best player guarding you, etc..

    Oh god, I just said a complimentary thing about Kobe Bryant. I think I'm going to be sick.

    Just read this blurb from ESPN the other day:

    http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/trending/post/_/id/14277/crazy-crap-analytics-can-prove

    Also read another article a few weeks back detailing how Curry is such an anomaly not just because hes putting up historically great 3 pt %'s, but his % on unassisted 3's is wayyyyy off the charts.
