For basketball fans, there are a lot of hotly debated issues, one of the more prominent issues is the difference between scorers and pitchers, and for some players, it is actually difficult to define whether he is a pitcher or a scorer. Shooting is actually a form of scoring, but there is a difference between the two, and while elite pitchers are equally good at putting the ball into the basket, scorers are more like the kind of players who can beat their opponents in many different ways.
Mark Price, for example, is recognized as one of the greatest pitchers of all time, but he and players like Ray Allen are clearly not on the same level, so it's not certain that Allen will be one of the greatest pitchers in history, and there are also these debates with Golden State Warriors' iconic splash brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
Xiaobian believes that there is a difference between scorers and pure pitchers, look at Curry's dribbling shot and human ball combination ability, and then look at Thompson's catch shot, empty cut, and breakthrough shot, Xiaobian really think it is appropriate to call them pitchers? While the greatest pitchers of all time didn't insult their abilities, they did need a more appropriate title. Pure pitchers don't even need to dribble, while scorers simply use three-pointers as weapons, but can score from outside the three-point line, mid-range, and under the basket, scoring 25-30 points per game like a probing bag.
The rise of three-pointers in the NBA has created living space for elite-caliber shooters who focus only on shooting from the outside, and the recent Miami Heat shooting guard Duncan Robinson falls into this category, strictly speaking, he is a pure shooter, because that's the vast majority of things he can do for the team on the court.
This is in stark contrast to players like Devon Booker and Damian Lillard, both of whom have elite-level shooting skills but are able to score quickly in a number of different ways, and while the line between pitcher and scorer is blurred, because no matter how focused a player is on shooting, they will still use other scoring methods in the game, but pitchers and scorers do have a considerable difference.
