I gotta check the stats. love JR though

Also, for the record, I ran the numbers last year on Nash when he shot volume. From 05/06 until 07/08 (three season, 65 game sample), in games where he shot 15+ total shots, his splits were 52/45/91, and his true shooting percentage was 63.9.

[@thetwiggamingchannel9578]

I'm curious as to the reason Damian Lillard was left off this list tbh, especially when you consider the fact that he won a couple 3 point contests himself.

[@whatshorts]

true, it was percentages when I made the list. I think Bird snuck in there because of research influence. Reddick, Kyrie, and Dame are all potentially snubs.

[@juliothom2408]

@@whatshorts I’d have probably had Dame near the back end. Great volume, but his average was slightly lower than Larry if I remember correctly.

[@pacemoccasin439]

I’m putting Dame in off of Distance alone lol

[@whatshorts]

I'm going to put him at a hard 11

[@christianguthrie2430]

Just subbed. You have a unique take on the usual sports commentary and I like it! Keep it up

[@whatshorts]

Thanks, man! I appreciate the sub!

[@AccidentalyViral]

Dame is the second best 3 point shooter ever

[@whatshorts]

Someone else in these comments said the same thing. A lot dametimers out here today.

[@chefcurry8983]

In my opinion, Damian Lillard is the 2nd best shooter of all time. Most of his seasons are him shooting slightly above the league aversge while shooting very, very tough shots off the dribble while being the primary focus. I think him and steph have the best range ever and Obviously he's no steph curry because steph curry does All that while shooting 40% but dames a career 37% shooter while shooting around 8 a game

[@whatshorts]

That makes sense he's had a heavy workload his whole career.

[@dionbomers1312]

Great, enjoyable and very cute video as usual bossman

[@whatshorts]

thank you brother ❤️

[@pjwesell]

Honorable comment mention for Robert Horry. The king of being in the right place at the right time and executing. Surprised at no Dame but obviously all of the guys on the list deserve to be on it.

[@whatshorts]

Horry the Tom Brady of the NBA

[@juliothom2408]

@@pjwesell I’d have had Dame on there as well.

[@floooooooooood]

10 --> 1 is my favorite format! It lets suspense build for your later choices imo

[@whatshorts]

yeah, because you don't know the order while you might no who is most likely on the list. it's the only way.

[@keatonott8634]

Shouldn’t be on the list or anything, but shocking how Jason Terry is so high on the alltime three point list. That 2011 Mavs team had shooters

[@whatshorts]

a lot of vets got their rings in 2011. love to see it. Danny Green btw 9th in playoff 3s.

[@pokeninja97]

Yeah I feel like the old head that loves that 2000s style of ball haha. Good List!

I can appreciate it too ;) (I'm 35)

What part of indiana are you from? Im about an hour east of indy, richmond.

[@whatshorts]

Nice! I lived in Cincinnati for a long time, but I grew up in Warsaw. 2 hours north of Indy.

[@Willisaint]

I like starting at 10 because it hits like a shock when the video opens immediately on your face and #10. It could either be like a positive or concerned response but both work in favor of you yknow

[@whatshorts]

I think so too. Starting with #1 would blow the wad of suspense.

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

Unless Durant somehow stays completely healthy with no drop-off, he'd have to play 40s to catch Malone. He's about to turn 36 and is 8,000 points behind. To put into perspective. 8,000 points ago for Durant was October 16, 2018. Opening night when he was still with the Warriors.

[@whatshorts]

Dang. yeah that for sure ain't happenin. Karl Malone was no saint, but he sure was a beast.

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

@@whatshorts He was just ridiculously durable. In his 18 seasons, he had ten years where he play all 82 games and played at least 80 games in every year other than a lockout-shortened year (when he won MVP) and that last year with the Lakers.

[@yezzir8929]

Potential Snubbs: West, Barry, Hodges, Price, Petrovic, Rice, Irving, Lilliard

[@whatshorts]

yep. if you ask Chatgpt it gives you mark price. Complex had a list with dame and kyrie.

[@holdenschwartz1187]

Not sure if he would top these ranks, but curious about where Jarret Jack ends up in these discussions. Feel like his mid range was just automatic

[@whatshorts]

might have been a small sample size bias. just looked at his numbers on bball reference.

[@juliothom2408]

Bird had a 5 stretch where he averaged 50/40/90 (one season before and after his MVP 3-peat).

[@whatshorts]

where would you have him?

[@juliothom2408]

@@whatshorts Prolly 5. There is a case for 4 or 3, but 5 is fair.

[@goobjug3868]

I feel like KAT should crack this list at some point. I mean he averages 51% from the field and 40% from three on a 9 year career

[@whatshorts]

A lot of good shooter throughout history. Hard list to make.

[@bookaufman9643]

I think KD is the best shooting big of all time. I know he's skinny but he's super tall.

[@whatshorts]

can't argue KD is big.

[@metal--babble346]

Larry Bird is my #1 shooter. His basket awareness was off the charts. Spinning turnarounds over the backboard ?? h.o.r.s.e. shots at high efficiency

[@whatshorts]

I think Bird is one where you really have to have seen him to appreciate him.

[@nikelodeon6852]

Luka is the second best shooter of all time...deep 3s, clutch 3s, contested 3s how is he not there??

[@whatshorts]

not sure. I'd have to go back look through my notes.

I like your style.

[@juliothom2408]

5 is fair for Bird, but your bias is showing. Bird LED THE LEAGUE several times in 3s taken and made in his era. He won the 1st 3 point contests. He was THE FIRST person to weaponize the 3, and his 3P% isn’t that far off from Dame Lillard. Again, 5 is fair. But every person after him saw HIM and began using the 3 more, because they remember HIM being so deadly with it. The fact he came to the league at the same time as the 3 is worth extra credit. He didn’t practice that shot until he got into the league, and didn’t really start using it a ton until year 4 or 5.

[@whatshorts]

yeah, I had him at 3 but after looking at the numbers I let him fall a bit.

Wes Unseld average under 14 points per game during his MVP year for the Wizards. Actually I think they were the Bullets but I'm not 100%😊

you right you right

[@tylerbyrnes1350]

Don’t see anyone talking Klay not making it. The percentage isn’t as high but Kyle korver didn’t score 60 on like 8(?) dribbles

[@whatshorts]

Dang. IDK, but I gotta look into that.

[@TheJuic3man]

20:14 For the record, career 3P% isn't just the average of the yearly shooting splits. It's Career totals, 3PM/3PA. So kinda the opposite of what you said

gotcha! thanks for the clarification!

[@bookaufman9643]

Look at the assist number when you're talking about Steve Nash. You can't have all of those assists and be checking up a bunch of shots. Saying that it would have been better if he had shot more and been less efficient just doesn't make any sense.😊

[@whatshorts]

if you look for a gif of Steve Nash shooting a 3 or jump shot you won't find one. It's literally all assists.

[@bookaufman9643]

@@whatshorts that efficiency is what made him the MVP two times. He gave up long shots to put up alley-oops to guys who could make dunks at a very high percentage. I'm sure the percentages of the players that played with him win up when he was on the court. It's hard to understate that.
