Today's NBA league can be said to be an era that belongs to shooters. With the advancement of NBA technology and tactics, as well as the continuous improvement of the players' own abilities, the three-point shots that were not valued in the past have become the big killers of this era, and there are more and more shooters who have no solution. So what are the greatest shooters in the history of the NBA? Recently, the US media selected the top 10 goalscorers in history, Nash was 9th, Harden was 7th, and the top 3 did not have any suspense.
Nash
One of the greatest point guards in history, Nash's talent on the offensive end, is unparalleled. He's not just a passing master, he's also very good at scoring. Don't look at Nash's career average of only 14.3 points per game, but his shooting rate is 49%, his three-point shooting rate is 43%, and his free throw shooting rate is 90.4%, all of which are the top levels in history, and he is definitely a sharpshooter.
Cole
Warriors head coach Cole, a role player in the player era, is a role player with average athleticism and plays a pure pitcher on the field. Kerr's shooting talent is outstanding, shooting 45.4% from three-point range in his career, making him the most accurate shooter in history. This is also an important reason why he was able to win 5 championships around Jordan and Duncan.
Bird
Bird is the NBA's strongest white player, and as a small forward, Bird's skills are impeccable, whether it's long-range shots, breakthroughs or low-post offense. He averaged 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game in his career, and in that era, he had a 38% three-point shooting rate, and won the three-point king without taking off his training suit, which also became a famous scene.
Harden
As the best point guard on the job, Harden also relies on three-pointers, but his three-pointers are more of a ball-holding shot. In particular, the one-handed retreat step three points can be said to be the most powerful existence. Harden has averaged 25 points per game in his career, and has soared into 2593 three-pointers so far in his career, which is one of the best in history. While the 36.1 percent shooting percentage isn't very high, Harden's three-pointer is certainly strong.
Redick
Redick is also recognized as a sharpshooter, he is only 1.93 meters tall, his arm span is not outstanding, and his athletic ability is also very average. But with textbook three-pointers, he still had a big success in the league. He averaged 13 points per game in his career, averaged 18 points per game at his peak, and shot 41.6% from three-point range, making him a phenomenal shooter.
Korver
Another pure pitcher, Korver is a small striker, and he can be said to be a textbook without the ball. Korver's self-inflicted ability is average, playing in the league for 17 years, relying on three-pointers. He averaged 10 points per game in his career and shot 42.9 percent from three-point range. To know that all the defenses he is for three points, but also to shoot such efficiency, is definitely a master.
Miller
The representative of the shooters in the 90s, when the league focused on confrontation and the proportion of three-point shots was also very low. Miller, however, did the opposite, eventually relying on his projection ability to shine in the league. Miller scored 18 points per game in his career, led the team to the Finals, shot 39% from three points, and played the playoffs with 9.8 seconds.
Ray Allen
The once all-time top scorer, the young Ray Allen, was a super breakback who could shoot. Later in his career, Ray Allen transformed into a pure shooter. His performance on the field is very comprehensive, he can hold the ball and shoot, and he is also a master of no ball, especially in key moments, Lei Allen has never been soft. He shot 2,973 three-pointers in his career and shot 40 percent from the field, making him impeccable.
Thompson
The 2nd position belongs to Thompson, which is not a matter of much suspense. As a tall 2.01-meter breakback, Thompson's breakthrough ability is mediocre. However, his tall and strong stature makes him rarely affected in shooting. He averaged 19.5 points per game and shot 41.7 percent from three-point range. He set a record of 14 three-pointers in a single game in the regular season and 11 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs.
Curry
Recognized as the best three-pointer in history, Curry is completely unique in the three-point field. He is the all-time three-pointer in the regular season, playoffs and Finals, with exaggerated moments of 402 three-pointers in a single season. He averaged 24.3 points per game in his career and 42.8 percent three-point shooting. The multi-shot shot is fast and the shot is accurate, and it is impossible to defend at all.
