    Best shooters in NBA history
    1 Steve Nash - numbers don't lie
    2 MJ - best midrange shooter ever by miles
    3 Larry Bird - the guy I'd have wanted to make a shot to save my life
    4 Dirk - tonight = wow!
    5 Ray Ray - could be higher but inconsistent in playoffs

        Dirk is better than Nash. Gotta put Reggie Miller up there too somewhere.

          MJ didn't have a 3ball... he can't be top 5 without that.

          1. Ray
          2. Bird
          3. Nash
          4. Dirk
          5. Peja maybe? Idk

          Edit- thanks to the poster above for mentioning Reggie. He slipped my mind. Him or Peja at 5

              He's more unstoppable as a driver but his pulls up are something of beauty too!

                            Please stop. He can barely shoot 40%.

                              Because his name isn't Jerry West or Larry Bird.

                                  Steve Nash is a good shooter but he doesn't take the kind of shots Nowitzki does. Nash didn't create his own shots and while his career FG% is better than Drik's (not by much) Dirk still averages 5 more shots per game for his career and still shoots 48%!

                                      get a clue and do some research before you throw stupid numbers out like you know what you are talking about

                                      46% last yr

                                      46% for career

                                            Nash has shot far more 3's than anyone in the to 20

                                            oh and he's only the best FT shooter of all time.

                                            Not sure why anyone would argue against him.

                                                I dunno Dirk and Nash are pretty close when it comes to free throws. Keep in mind Dirk is a FORWARD shooting insanely high FT and FG %.

                                                I got 24 reasons why Dirk is better than Nash at FT shooting tonight boy....

                                                      And you said he's the best shooter.

                                                      By the way I know his numbers and you rounded up. good bid.

                                                          Feel free to replace any of those with Reggie Miller too. I just hated Reggie as a player.

                                                            I got 24 reasons why Dirk is better than Nash at FT shooting tonight boy....
                                                            Yeah it was impressive. How many threes did he hit?

                                                                I post this in every thread about the best shooter, well worth the watch. Jesus Shuttlesworth is the best pure shooter ever. He's a machine. To do it as long as he has, as consistently as he has, is impressive to say the least.
