Who is the 2nd greatest shooter in NBA history?

[Tyronnosaurus]

At this point, I think most people would say Steph Curry is hands down the greatest shooter to ever play this game.

I made the poll with the following names who I think are the top ones up for debate, but after I know I might have left a few big ones out like Glen Rice for example.

Really interested to see what people around here think.

 

edit: Left out Steve Kerr - had him on there and took him out without realizing it.

I voted for Reggie Miller. Lots of great shooters on that list though but Reggie was a thorn in my personal side as a Pistons fan for a long time.

John Stockton and Jeff Hornack might deserve to be on this list but it's a good list none-the-less.

Im going Ray Allen, simply because he stole a ring for Lebron

Ray Allen.  One of the best shooting forms I have seen watching the NBA. He was a very underrated shooter in the clutch.

Pure shooting it’s Drazen. Youngsters don’t remember.

Steph Curry is by far the most amazing and skilled shooter ever that cannot be argued but if shooting in the clutch is the most important factor than Larry Bird is the best the fact that Larry Bird at six-foot-nine could easily get off his shot against anyone he can fade left fade right follow through have follow through run on one leg up it didn't matter Larry Bird is by far the second best at least no one else would even shoot in the so many unorthodox ways is Larry Bird not real and not Steve Kerr not Glen Rice or not some of the other all-time greats so if Larry Bird is in the top two then this thread is vulite too many young folks

Fultz.

Heart says Peja, but my mind says it's either Jesus Shuttlesworth or Reggie Miller. In the end, I voted for the former (Allen).

If we're just talking the jump shot, Dirk is up there for me. Otherwise gotta be Ray Allen, his combination of volume and efficiency on the 3 is unmatched.

FYI, there was a story in a NYC paper that said after every practice Drazen would stay and not leave until 10 3 pointers were made in a row. Not so easy even for a great shooter. Part of his shooting success was made of hard work, like most of the greats I'd imagine, but the truly greats had the I don't give a F if I am off. With Drazen that was especially true.

But the real moral of the story is... Guys DON"T let your girlfriend drive on Germany's Auto-bon ..

I'd honestly vote Larry Bird since he could shoot from EVERYWHERE on the court and wasn't merely a 3 point specialist...he could shoot circus shots, fade-away, spot up, hit running jump shots (a lost art)...and his height made it very difficult to do anything about it.

BEST shooters NOT on this list.

Jerry West-supposedly, but damn no game film.

Dale Ellis

Glen Rice - my personal underdog

Graig Hodges - role player though.

Voted Ray because I thought it was 3 point shooting in the title.  Just overall shooting I'd go with Bird.  He could hit every shot.

That's why I think Dirk has a case.There isn't a shot on the floor he can't make efficiently. I'd vote Klay or Ray, but I have to give my boy Dirk some love.
