    I was going to add Curry to my list, but wanted to wait a few more years before he is an "all-time" shooter. He is the best shooter in the NBA right now, no doubt.

    Dunno if anyone has noted Nash's insane eFG% yet.

    He's 16th in eFG% all-time. With the exception of two low-volume shooting guards (Brent Barry & Steve Kerr), it's Nash and a bunch of centers. He has no business being there. 56% for a point guard is ridiculous.

    Nash is also the best free throw shooter of all time. He trails Mark Price by .0004% at the moment but has nearly a thousand more makes.

    That being said I don't think he is the best shooter ever. His numbers are fantastic but he has rarely been guarded by the best opposing player, rarely had to deal with double-teams, and rarely had to be the main scorer on his team.
