Kerr</div>you think Jordan was the #1 shooter of all time? not only was he not in the 50-40-80 club, and never shot 90% from the foul line, 45% from the three point line, etc. He's definitely a very good shooter, but not #1 all time by any stretch of the imagination

    Michael Jordan was the greatest mid-range shooter of all time. He shot 49.7% for his career, and he lived off the mid-range jumper for the latter half. Jordan gets looked over because for most, shooter = three point shooter. That should not be the case.

    No list is complete without Reggie Miller. He was the greatest 3-point shooter the NBA has ever seen and is one of the best free-throw shooters as well. Reggie could shoot very well in the clutch as well.

    Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Peja Stojakovic, Jerry West, Steve Kerr, Mark Price, Scott Skiles. Drazen Petrovic was also a great shooter which not many people know since his NBA career was cut short because of a fatal car crash.

    How is everybody leaving out Calvin Murphy? Most free throws in a row, 5th all time in career ft%, best single season ft% ever, etc.Also a shoutout to jack Sikma, who shot 92% from the foul line as a center, and could even shoot the three ball a bit.

    Bernard King was by far the best shooter to grace an NBA court.
