Fifth place: Koval.
Many fans may not know that Koval and James are the same player, and they both participated in the 2003 draft. Compared with James, Koval's career is really bumpy, but surprisingly, this player who was not optimistic from the beginning of the draft was able to survive in the NBA for 17 years, and even made his first All-Star selection at the age of 34. Koval's greatest advantage is his three-pointers. So far, Koval's total number of three-point hits has ranked fourth in history, and his running skills without the ball can be called "the pinnacle".
Fourth place: Thompson
Although Thompson's total number of three-point hits has not yet ranked in the top ten in history, he has only played for eight seasons. With his three-point explosive power, it is no problem to be in the top five after retirement. And Thompson's three-pointers can be described as ruthless. The more the team needs him, the more accurate his three-pointers will be. It is rare to see Thompson make mistakes in key games. The fourth place is just his current ranking. When he retires, the top two are absolutely stable.
Third place: Miller
As the first generation of three-point shooters in the league, perhaps reggie miller's three-point goals and three-point hit rate are not very conspicuous in the era of data explosion, but you should know that Miller proved that a shooter can also bring the team to the finals, and his success paved the way for the later shooters. Without Miller, the current three-point wave of NBA may be delayed for several years. As a pioneer of three-pointers, Miller set a very good example for later shooters.
Second place: ray allen.
Shooter is not the only label for ray allen. At least he can do many other things when he leads the team alone, but the shooter is indeed his most obvious label. On the court, ray allen will run tirelessly throughout the game, looking for instant space to give his opponent a fatal blow. No matter how many goals he missed in front, his opponent still dared not empty him in the next goal. It can be said that ray allen interpreted the shooter to the extreme. At present, the number of three-pointer hits ranks first in the league, which shows the greatness of ray allen.
First place: Curry
Curry overturned many NBA conclusions, such as an outside shooter can't lead the team to win the championship. But Curry is very different among shooters. This is not to say that his hit rate is much higher than others, but that Curry's way of shooting three-pointers makes his opponent crazy. He can hit many long-range three-pointers, and he can throw three-pointers with the ball at any time. This has made the opponent's unstoppable three-point achievement in the Warrior Dynasty and the small ball era, and it has undoubtedly made Curry the first three-point shooter in history.
