Who is the best shooter of all time?

[fidstar]

Steph wins GOAT vs GOAT. She was great though. 26 points would as good as any of the other 3 point shooters in the comp.

 

[fidstar]

Number of times making 9 or more three pointers 4 times in a calendar month.

Steph - 4 times
Every other player in NBA history - 0

Without looking it up the other two times are one from Klay Thompson and one from James Harden right?

Reaching with that title.

One of the most incredible finishes in a basketball game ever?

Haha, yeah nah.

I love him but he has destroyed the game somewhat

Best shooter of all time is still Jordan. His pull up jump shot with that elevation is the best shot of all time.

The only shot that was less defendable was Kareem's skyhook.

Curry is a freak. But he is defendable. Jordan was not.

I think that’s fair…

Curry is the best long range shooter though Bird would probably have been better than Steph if he’d played in this era…can you imagine Larry coming off moving screens and pin downs for open 3s 10-15 times a game?

He’d start shooting them left-handed when he got bored!!!

You make a good point. When people talkin bout shooters, they thinking long range experts.

Curry is the greatest 3 point shooter of all time yes. Inside the three point line. Then I'd go Jordan for sure.

 

[fidstar]

Bird is a better player, but he's not in Steph's stratosphere as a shooter. I mean Bird had 4 seasons he shot less than 30% from 3 (on small volume to be fair).

Agreed. Steph is easily the better shooter, from deep that is. Inside the arc, I'd probs go with Bird. Bird the better player overall though for sure. Bird is top 10 all time. Steph maybe in that 10-12 range.
