Let's not forget Big Shot Bob - Robert Horry. He takes the cake when it comes to game winning shots with championships on the line.

I know Steph got the record, but in a do or die situation, I'll give it to Bird every time. Dude's got ice in his veins.

Doesn't anyone remember Downtown Fred Brown of the Sonics? He should be on the list.

Pat Riley- "If I had to choose a player to make a shot to win the game - I'd choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to make a shot to save my life - I'd choose Larry Bird."

Still Stephen Curry the greatest @ best NBA shooter alive.

If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life...I'd take Larry Bird." - Pat Riley

I would choose Larry Bird for more reasons than one. The game was brutal in his time.

1 second to play and your team is down by 2. The ball goes to either Larry Bird or Reggie Miller.

Before Steph Curry came along, I would have said Rick Barry.

Consider the eras. For example, Jerry West belongs on the list, even though shooting percentages were lower back then. There is a video of a 70-something West giving a talk to kids surrounding the key on a court. West was in street clothes, and was shooting shots (ranging from layups to several feet away) while chatting with the kids. He makes every single shot. It is on KZfaq and it is amazing to watch.

All of them are top shooters, but i'll give it to Bird. No doubt...

Stephen curry's shooting the basketball is making history at present and still counting....

Why is Jerry west never mentioned anymore ?

I am 77 years of age and watched a lot of basketball games ABA & NBA. I still think the smoothest shooter with the least effort was the Iceman George Gervin.

Just remembered old Bill Sharman and Rolando Blackman

FACTS Here are the seasons when Wilt Chamberlain led the league in shooting percentage and his shooting percentage for each of those seasons: 1959-1960: Shooting Percentage - 46.1% 1960-1961: Shooting Percentage - 50.6% 1961-1962: Shooting Percentage - 50.4% 1962-1963: Shooting Percentage - 52.3% 1963-1964: Shooting Percentage - 52.1% 1964-1965: Shooting Percentage - 54.0% 1965-1966: Shooting Percentage - 54.0% 1966-1967: Shooting Percentage - 68.3% 1971-1972: Shooting Percentage - 57.2%

The top 5 players all deserve to be on this list. But imagine Drazen Petrovic not passing away in that tragic car accident, he would be on this list, I think. He was an incredible shooter. Accurate, hard to block because of his quick release, and reliable under pressure.

Bird is the greatest shooter. #CLUTCH 🏀

Good video

we shouldn't forget the great late Drazen Petrovic. The guy was maybe the best shooter ever alongside Steph, Ray, Reggie and Larry.

Larry Bird is the best shooter I've ever seen. Larry could score from anywhere, with either hand -- and he did this while winning 3 NBA championships.

Peja and Ray and Miller - can you imagine if they played in this era?

Nash is right there too. Nash was also a facilitator so his shooting was secondary. Besides Curry, Nash was a better shooter off his dribble than the rest of this list and shooting off your dribble is way harder than a set shot.

I realize that his career was shortened by the untimely accident that ended his life but I still believe that Drazen Petrovic is the absolute best pure shooter I ever saw play the game. The man was completely amazing; his death just when reaching his peak remains one of greatest, if not the greatest, tragedies in the history of the NBA. Good vid, tho'

Good call on Peja. Definetely.

The Pistol Pete Maravich

Bird belongs #2 on this list, but it’s lacking so many others it’s not worth quibbling about.

Curry, Dame, Kerr, Bird, Reggie Miller is my top 5

I agree 👍

i agreed with the list with the exception of Curry in an era where just scratching a player is a fragrant foul Curry had it easy compared to Michael Larry Ray and the rest

So let me get this straight, if the basketball leaves your hand or fingers and goes thru the basket then you have scored. So why isn't Kareem Abdul Jabbar the greatest shooter of alltime? His field goal precintage is better than any these players, but yet all of his accomplishments are all ways over looked. Plus no one ever duplicated his sky hook.

you wants points? you can give the ball to many of them and they will get the points. you want to win you give it to Larry Bird.

THIS WAS INTERESTING...............

You can talk all you want about the other skills, will to win, clutch shooting, etc. and all that stuff, but Steph has taken the singular skill of shooting to another level. It's not debatable

Shooting was standardized back in the 80's-90's. Before then you had all sorts of shooting mechanics, but Buzz Braman brought the world a standard form and practice.

making this list with out drazen petrovic is a joke

Ray’s technique is what coaches tell you not to do dude is just that good

I don't know who I would take off the list but no list of mine of great shooters can leave off Glen Rice, Bob McAdoo, and most of all, Pete Maravich. Other great shooters also come to mind, like Chris Mullen.

Allen's inability to hit the Pacific Ocean during the last few games of the 2009 NBA Finals one of the main reasons the Celtics lost.

Pistol Pete and Mr. Clutch.

id say best mid range to short range is MJ.... the best overall is steph or bird maybe ...im 44yo so i missed guys like jerry west george gervin etc etc ... thats tough but i like the list

Curry before Curry Mahmoud abdul'rauf is the best

Downtown Freddie Brown from the Sonics. Glen Rice was a sniper. Chris Mullen. Dennis Scott

Downtown Freddie Brown.

Id seen them all since the 70s up to now ,nobody is at par w him until now,im a Lakers fan,this greatest shooter is Larry Bird of Boston Celtic

Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson should be on there. It is because he is overshadowed by Curry. But Klay is definitely in the conversation

How about Ted St. Martin who never played in the NBA?

Last shot life on the line it's "LARRY BIRD"

Leaving Rick Barry off this list really tells your age

We need a Top 10 shooters. Klay Thompson, Dale Ellis, Steve Kerr, Pete Maravich and Jerry West would make this list

All yours are OK I add Jerry Lucas, Rick Barry

To win a game, I’d take Ray.

That's a longer list from way back in the day.

BOGUS!!! Any best-shooter list with no mention of Elgin Baylor, Pete Maravich, Jerry West or Rick Barry is simply not serious. The NBA is almost 80 years old but your picks are all recent. What, you don't think those old guys could shoot the ball? Check out West's playoff records that STILL stand!

Difficult list to make. I'd consider Pete Maravich and Drazen Petrovic......And of players who never played in the NBA: Oscar Schmidt.

MJ all day.

for 2 points i would take MJ and for 3 points i would take kobe or bird cause they both could shoot over any defense

This vloger is lakers fan 😁

“ I want iguodala” -some random guy

This list gives way too much weightage to 3 pointers....if u say pure shooting efficiency it's Jordan and Durant

Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson will be honor next?!

Ray allen

Steph Curry is the BEST SHOOTER of all time! He shoots like a magician. 🇵🇭🤩😍

Yup, with everything-everything at stake, it's Rob Horry..Beyond that, I'd go with a different line-up. These are players who had total game, often carried their whole team, who refused to lose - in no particular order Wilt, Kareem, Kobe, King James, and French Lick's one and only. If free throws count, then hands down it's Shaq. No, no, just kidding, I'd go with Rick Barry..

#30 Curry.

I choose Kendrick Perkins

The only player ahead of bird to win a championship as the best player on the team is Curry. It is a lot easier to score as a second or third option. I love Ray but he never was a #1 and Reggie never won it.

stupidly underrated bro

The player was save last NBA championship of miami heat no other than ray allen....

Would include Klay in top 5

Steve Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

where Michael be at?.............

Pistol Pete was the best

Chris Mullin?

am i crazy because i only see four shooters here.

The narrator says Reggie Miller is 3, but there is a 4 next to his name.

Bird

Rey Allen is of d best.

Only one player has a +.400fg% & +.500fg3% for their career,Drazen Petrovic,.506fg% & .437fg3%.

Rick Barry

Drazen Petrovic

I'm passing on crappy AI readers

You left out Klay Thompson.

WHO THE HELL PUT LARRY BIRD NUMBER 5????????????

Steph,,,,

He is NOT, repeat NOT one of the best shooters - BUT - I loved how Bob McAdoo shot the ball. Could there be a prettiest jumper category?

Let jordan be the best shooter,assist,rebound all around player as other claim let him be the goat,or acow maybe ,nobody is interested anyway as long they hold the record for most point ,rebound,assist ,block ect,most no of rings thus Mike has any of these?Just asking

There's only 4 players listed.

If you have someone who scored both of his points by dunks you don't have a shooter

Having a top 5 for greatest shooter is kind of pointless. There have been thousands of great players in the league that has existed closing on 100 years. Even if you break it down into a more exact category like percentage or pure shooter or best shooter that creates their own shot, there are still just too many choices. All of these shooters are great for the list, and could have arguments for being the best, and reasons for not being number one. Even a top 10 wouldn't scratch the surface. You can't put them in order, really, because they are all such different players with different styles and different statistics. It's impossible to tell who is truly "better" than the other. You can add Michael, who was one of the deadliest midrange shooters of all time. You can add Kerr, who was a VOLUME three-point shooter who's career percentage is 1.5% (THAT IS A HUGE MARGIN) above Hubert Davis, the next highest player's career percentage. Or Steve Nash, who was statistically a better shooter than Steph Curry (as is Steph's own brother, Seth). And you can't forget Pete Maravich, who averaged 44.2 ppg in college WITHOUT a 3-pt line (and that record still stands). Yes, that was college, but he entered the NBA and was still one of the best shooters to ever play. Mark Price was deadly, as was Jeff Hornacek, Tim Legler, and countless other pure shooters. And what about straight up shooting percentage? Kareem, Deandre Jordan, Tyson Chandler, Shaq.... their shooting percentages are through the roof, if distance from the basket isn't important. If you want to put together a good video, make the subject more specific or the number of players higher. And it will still be subjective opinion, with hundreds of players from before the year 2000 being completely forgotten.

Know something about the sport before writing the script. It sounds like it was written by someone new to the game.

"During one *_match_* "; turned it off

Pistol Pete

Pete Maravich is the GOAT.

Steve Kerr

*Hey Google* How tall is 206cm?!

1 curry 2 thompson

Where is pistol Pete

Bird at 5........ video was waste of time
