    I agree with your list sunnyd pretty much, so u guys think that the players on your list wud have been considered great shooters still if dey playd from the 80s-present or if dey had the 3 point line back then?

    Michael Jordan was a pretty good shooter when he was starting to get into his 30's, but definitely not when he was a Wizard.- Larry Bird- Mark Price- Reggie Miller- Dale Ellis- Craig Hodges- Detlef Schrempf

    I cant believe GArenas is the only one to have steve kerr on his list. He has the highest career 3 point shooting percentage in NBA History. Come on guys.

    Steve NashRay AllenDale EllisLarry BirdMark PriceMahMoud Abdul-RAufRick Barry (if we're disregarding long range)Peja StojakovicDirk NowitskyMichael ReddSteve KErrFred HoibergTim LeglerMore to ComeYes I have a modern bias, but that's because the 20+ foot shot has been constantly improving over time. There was a time when 34% led the league in three point percentage, and now it's average.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Zards @ Apr 8 2007, 12:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I know.</div>Most people are reffering to Jordan in his prime where he was a great shooter, to not put him on your list becuase he didn't shoot as great on the Wizards at the age of 40 doesn't really make much sense.
