The NBA is changing! Basketball itself is changing! The game is gradually moving away from the basket, which means the teams that have the most charismatic shooters automatically gain an advantage.
It’s no coincidence that, in this decade, the Golden State Warriors are trying to build their own dynasty based to a large extent on three-point shooting and line-ups that are made-up of 2, 3 or even 4 players who can shoot from the perimeter.
Still, over the years, basketball fans have enjoyed numerous stars with a poisonous shot. Eurohoops singled out 8 individuals and invites basketball fans to vote for the top shooter among the best!
Ray Allen
Total three-pointers: 2973/7429 (2.3/5.7)
Percentage: 40%
Games: 1300
Ray Allen can boast that he’s the king of threes since he’s at the top of the list of best shooters, with the inconceivable number of 2973 shots on target! In fact, if one considers that the charismatic shooting guard counts a total of 7429 attempts from 7.25, then the 40% with which he completed his career takes on even greater value.
The important three-pointers he has scored on the courts of the NBA are countless, but one of them produced his 2nd championship ring. It’s when the Heat went to… hell and back against the Spurs, and ultimately won the championship in overtime!
