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.

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.

If IT means Isaiah Thomas then fair enough. He was a point guard. But I thought he was a shooting guard. He could score.
His team mates Joe Dumars was solidly good too. Michael Jordan says Dumars is one of his toughest opponents. Dumars was only 6 foot 3 and can play point guard and shooting guard. Could score a few points quickly too

I dont know if he was underrated. Him and Isiah shared the two Finals MVPs in those back to back years, was a 6 time All Star too. Everyone knew Dumars was the second option behind IT though, but a hell of a shooting guard.
Sort of my point. It's seen as Isiah's team when in those two years there wasn't much between them. Sort of a Curry/Durant thing.
Not saying Dumars touches Isiah in regards to career. Just those two years.
