Kevin is definitely the best looking 3 point shooter. Larry Bird was a dog. Large nose, small eyes and pasty white skin compared to the finely structured face and smooth ebony skin of Durant.

Lol no. Sure, he does have bettter ball movement on his team, but the reason it looks like he's so open all the time is because of his release, which is the quickest in the league. He gets rid of the ball .3-.5 seconds faster than most other players, which keeps defenders from closing in enough to really contest every shot. It isn't luck that makes him the greatest 3 point shooter ever.

and he couldnt shoot outside 15 feet in college.
How far he has come.
But someone's got to guard him he is always open in this series a lot
to do with denvers non-existent defense

No man, Kyle Korver is the "best looking" three point shooter.

This exactly! As a matter of fact he play's like a granny if you ask me. The guy has some of the slowest most deliberate moves I've ever seen. And then the funny thing is he gets past his defenders with it!
Props to Durant though. There is a lot of things that he does well and makes it look easy. But Allen has a prettier looking release.

Korver is great.

lol all those shots are open 3s. I would like a hand to his face more often, like for Durant.
Larry Bird is overrated like every other old NBA-legend except Jordan. NBA is alot tougher and faster today. It takes much more to be dominant. Imagine Lebron James or Durant 20 years ago in a dominant team...they would average 50 pts/game

Ray Allen is the best 3 point shooter ever.
As far as how a jump shot looks, Ray Allen wins in that category as well.
I really like Brandon Roys shot as well. Looks very smooth.

Serious question- how old are you? Calling one of the best, if not the best, pure shooters ever overrated is beyond ridiculous. Lebron and Durant wouldn't be able to take it to the rim if they played back then... guys like Bill Lambeir (spelling?) would've eaten them alive. Durant is way too skinny to have been anything more than a jump shooter back then.
Those 3s are "open" because of the release... he gets rid of it before the other players can get their hands in his face. That and a high release point make the shots look more open. I guarantee Durant shoots a lot of "open" 3s as well.
There's a reason Durant is a career 35.7% 3P shooter, and Ray has only had 2 of his 14 seasons below that (35.1 and 35.6). He is unquestionably a better shooter, its not even an argument. And yes, he does have the respect of defenses just like KD does... he's the greatest 3P shooter ever, you think teams aren't worried about him? KD is a better offensive threat, but he will never be a better long range shooter than Jesus Shuttlesworth

What happened to Jason Kapono??!!!
Guy was making a real impact on miami, has opne of the purest shots in the league, yet he no longer gets any love??
I dont think he is a great player or anything, but if Miami had Kapono instead of soem of these other role players they would be alot more dangerous.

Durant is a good shooter but his 3 pt percentage is way worse than a lot of players.

agree. he was a 3 pointer machine. Miami has not a real killing shooter at its bench. Every team needs this kind of players to reach the end...

Interesting "what if" argument.. You are going to have to come a lot better than that because Allen has been nailing 3 pointers his entire career, not just with Boston...

excuse me but Ray Allen had a lengthy career in the NBA before he ever came to Boston.
where were you in 1996 when Ray started NBA ? kindergarten ?
