If I needed someone to shoot for my life it would have to be either Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan or KD.

Shane Heal for me
Curry’s opening frame on Thursday—25 points on perfect shooting (4-for-4 inside the arc, 5-for-5 outside it, 2-for-2 from the free throw line)—was the eighth 25-point quarter of his career. Nobody else in the past 25 years has more than four. It was the 30th time he’s made at least five triples in a period, more than twice as many as any other player over the past quarter-century.

Carmelo Anthony made 10 of ten swished all 10 (caveat: subtract two as dunks or put backs, so 8/8) , he is with Oscar Schmidt and dozen and Sabonis as one of the top 10 international players ever ( @ Worlds/Olympics ) , I had Drewy 11th or 12th , he is disadvantaged by winning no

The 10/10 8/8 swish feat never ever be beaten because there is an automatic handicap for Steph Curry and hot-hand/heat-check players because they get triple-teamed and won't stop at 10 attempts which will preclude the record from being matched
Anthony like Kawhi and Klay marries 17-28 feet midrange + perimeter
plus he is a one on one shooter , most of his shots are isolated and not the Steve Kerr variety ,
thus , Carmelo must be with Miller Bird Petrovic Stojakovic Dirk Klay Steph Allen Oscar Durant with special mention of Mamba , but Kobe loses points because he took small percentage shots , Kawhi similar on periphery but like Rich Jefferson the guy excels in the midrange

Drewy did say the kid from Brighton Grammar was the sweetest shooter he had come across in juniors and I don't mean Chris Dawes the other Collingwood/Melbourne player

Steph, KD and the NBA's best shooters of the past 25 years
The NBA introduced shot-tracking data 25 years ago, and in that time, one shooter stands above all the rest.
Guess who was number 1?
Some fun stats from the above article.
- Out of the 94 players who have made at least 5,000 shots since 1996-97, Curry has the longest average make distance; his average bucket comes 16.2 feet away from the rim.
- Curry has the most career games with:
- 4 3-pointers
- 5 3-pointers
- 6 3-pointers
- 7 3-pointers
- 8 3-pointers
- 9 3-pointers
- 10 3-pointers
- 11 3-pointers
- 12 3-pointers
- Out of the 12 NBA players who attempted at least 100 step-back 3s last season, only one of them made more than 40% of them. Curry made a ridiculous 47.6% of his 166 step-back 3s in 2020-21.
only 22% from bottom left corner where he would never come to receive the ball in sets and would be closely shadowed and defended on his right shoulder , wow for discrepancy , it is a little like where they stick the second man on James HardenSteph, KD and the NBA's best shooters of the past 25 years

^ Jingles sneaked in that ESPN article diagram
i underrated CP3
so that particular year was a mammoth outlier , if that 22% number was correct (which one assumes it was) ... thnx for highlighting discrepancy fidstarHe's okay from that corner...
respectfully fidstar
49% =/= okay
It is off-the-bell-curve... standard_deviationZ
the difference does not make plausible sense in a valid sample size
Steph leaves Reggie , Allan , Bird , Oscar(Schmidt) in his wake , Trae and Liddard can only gasp , nb. and those names mentioned were BESTOFTHEBEST
I coulda been right on Carmelo

no Rice x dem veep, no GOP very with Mcain , the guv from state above Canada Sarah Palin <google: Miami Heat Rice x Satah Palin>
we underrate Price and Stockton too , versus guys like Kerr Hodges Paxon ,
Price and Stockton should be above Steve Nash , plus we forget 2 men/shooting guards from 70s and early 80s and pror gen before the three point line , in eras where everyone woulduse the backboard like Tim Duncan , like Trae Young uses the half court line as his perimeter three point line , like Liddard,
so we need to add Jerry West , Rick Barry the father of Brent , all-star 3point comp is BS too
