Steph Curry is the best pure shooter ever.

[Bluehorseshoe]

He's sick. Let's hear who you think is better

[smitch124]

I couldn't believe the line movement in this game Houston -4.5 to PK. Unreal.

[jjgold]

I don't know who is better and also they have one of the greatest backcourts in recent memory

[Ra77er]

Chris Mullin or Mark Wahlburg

[Chi_archie]

Manure Bol could stroke it

[The Kraken]

Allan Houston had a pure stroke

[smitch124]

Yes they both watched a lot of porn, but could they shoot?

[The Kraken]

Manute Bol was a short shot specialist

[smitch124]

Manute Bol once killed a lion in the Sudan

[Chi_archie]

Manute once had like 6 3's in a half

drazen Petrovic may have been the best if his career wasn't cut short

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

I once choked a chicken watchin porn while in the Sudan

Native gals really thought I could shoot rather well

Ya they just say that so you'll relax so they can eat you (and not in a good way.)

Loved watching Mark Price shoot the ball, and Drexler was awesome when he matured (never seen anyone so good with so little arc on their shot), Reggie was also awesome and you cannot have this conversation without mentioning Ray Allen.

Curry will most likely be recognized as the best....when he gets hot, I have never seen anyone that can stroke it like that.

Still Jesus Shuttlesworth.

Ah, yes.... the Clyde Drexler flat shot. Holy crap, if he could have put a little air under his shot he could have been the best. I live in Portland and saw Clyde in person a few times in non-basketball situations. I've never seen anyone just walk with such fluidity. His Clyde "the glide" was a very fitting nickname.

Also, I agree with Ray Allen needing the mention on this list. He has the quickest/best stroke I've ever seen. Curry is in good position to take the crown if he keeps up his current body of work. At 42 I'm just a bit too young to clearly remember but I know there would some smooth shooters a generation ago - Mark Aquire, Alex English, George Gervin, Jamal Wilkes.... I'm sure I'm leaving off a bunch of obvious ones.

Ray Allen has the best pure stroke of all time

Lets not forget He Got Game!

That's what happens when the best center in the nba is out... You need your stars to win games in the nba. this isn't college son.

None of those guys were as good of shooters as Curry, or had as fluid of a shot.

After watching ever era of basketball, I have to say I think Kevin Durant has the smoothest J I've ever seen.

[RubberKettle]

No love for The Logo or Pistol Pete? both had very smooth shots.

Also Larry Legend was a pure sniper.

[deadphish]

i vote Bird

[Goat Milk]

Bird in terms of fluidity? no chance his shot looks as smooth as curry's.

[kornuts]

Nothing is more beautiful than the sky hook

[t-wizzle]

We are forgetting his dad.

Dell Curry could stroke it.

Steph is probably the best I've ever seen though.

Honestly, I should have clarified my thread better. (I was drunk in a bar. lol) He's the deadliest outside shooter I've ever seen.

I have never seen a shooter, that can score from long range as well as he does, with any coverage on him, better than him.

Bird was 6'9 while Curry is 6'3 and it doesn't matter the size of the guy covering Steph. It's sick how quick he can create his shot over a bigger guy and score.

Agreed.

Best shooter that came out for the National Anthem.

[BigBusiness]

No love for Durant????

[pacocn]

Keith "Jamal" Wilkes was fluid, a bit unorthodoxed but smooooooth

[meader99]

Reggie

[Jeffie]

Calvin Cambridge

[jjgold]

They could get clipped today at Phoenix

[The Kraken]

No love for Durant????

In this thread???

No

Durant is an average shooter at best. He is the leagues purest scorer but not shooter. Guy is long, gets to the FT line a lot and hits around 90%, scores a lot on fast breaks and circus shots. Not a pure shooter at all though.
