    In the end, Sir Charles Barkley will go down in history as the 34th-most prolific 3-point shooter of the 20th Century, with more than 2,000 three-pointers attempted thru the 1999-2000 season. During his career, he shot nearly as many 3s as Chris Mullin and more than his other contemporaries, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

    So, the next time Sir Charles Barkley tells you that jump-shooting teams can’t win the championship, remember to show him some respect. The man’s an expert in the field.

    Talk about a misleading figure to show.

    he did shoot 2000+ threes in his career, but A: he shot 26% from 3, and B: it averages out to less than 2 per game in his career.

    And Bird retired long before 3 pointers started to become an important shot in the NBA.

    I remember Chuckles taking ill-advised 3s in the biggest moments of playoff games and I was thinking wtf didn't he post up?
    It was his pressure situation default shot.
