from beyond the arc.
bird, jordan or reggie miller?
Im a huge Jordan fan, but id say Reggie, Bird then Jordan. IMO if Jordan wasnt around Reggie would have been the man.
I'd say Bird out of those three , wasn't John Stockton pretty good as well ?
Bird was definately the best pure shooter of the 3, but it says from behind the arc. Reggie may be the best in game 3 point shooter of all time.Quote:

Before or after 1986?
Gotta go with Reggie
definitely its reggie. hes an exceptional 3 point shooter, superb in nailing outbalanced shots and in drawing the foul. hes the guy you would want the ball with come crunch time

yeah. hes good. pretty much of a clutch player too. can nail 3 pointers even under so much pressure.Quote:

• he can nail 3 pointers even when faced with double teams
• he can nail off-balanced shots pretty well
• he can go for a quick two for a tier
• he can draw out fouls

Might be true, but he has only a 18.2 points per game average....
As you have skipped over my question above, the answer to your question is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, leading all point score 38,387 with a 24.6 points per game average.
all time greatest in terms of 3 point shooting?Quote:

Three point shots did not start until 1986, before that they were 2 point shots only. Before 1986, to make a three point shot you had to make a 2 point and get fouled, and then make 1 point shot at the free throw line.
So how do you determine "ALL" time greastest 3 point shooter, when it has only been around for 20 years?

And before 1986 when, from beyond the arc, was only worth 2 points, they don't count?Quote:

Ok - going on 3 point shots only, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan are not even in the top three. So the orginal question is mute.
