NBA All Star Draft : CHAT

[UK Cowboy]

He's 225th in 3pt attempts, he's not even close to the best of all time.

He has over 2000 attempts and has the highest %. I'm kinda doubting his % would go down with more attempts LMAO

 

[tlance]

That's the most impressive thing about Kerr. He was always coming in cold and nailing them, Curry just chucks 3's all the time. Kerr attempted 7 or more in a game 10 times in his carreer (including playoffs). Curry did it 92 times this past season alone (314 overall).

My list of top 10 3p shooters:

1. Reggie Miller
2. Ray Allen
3. Steve Kerr
4. Larry Bird
5. Steph Curry
6. Robert Horry
7. Dale Ellis
8. Dirk Nowizki
9. Steve Nash
10. Hubert Davis

Sorry man, this list is not even close. many of the best shooters of all time are in the league today.

First, if Curry is not number 1, the list is wrong. Ask any player and they will say that. Chris Mullin is arguably the greatest pure shooter ever. He needs to be on the list too, probably top 5.

Difficulty of attempts needs to be considered. That is why Kerr should not be top 5. He was a great shooter, but his attempts were mostly spot ups with his feet set. Any of the players like Miller or Allen, Mullin, Bird, Ellis have to be higher than Kerr.

Also, Horry and Hubert Davis don't even belong in the conversation. Give me Glen Rice, Klay Thompson, Mitch Richmond, Kyle Korver, JR Reddick, Peja, Mark Price, Alan Houston, Rashard Lewis, Dell Curry all belong ahead of some of the names on your list.

If you want pure shooters in Kerr's category who were just as good, but lacked the accolades, look at Tim Legler, Craig Hodges are right there too.

I love Kerr... But you realize he never averaged 3 or higher 3 point attempts per game??

Spin. If he is open, it's money

 

[blstoker]

Steph, Reggie and Allen are the top 3 point shooters of all-time without a doubt IMO

The only reason I have Steph so low is he hasn't had a chance to slow down, yet. While everyone else's careers are done. Curry has had the top 3 (and that's not even looking up the numbers) seasons as a 3pt shooter - and all indications are that he'll continue and be the greatest ever, but I'm just wait and see how he does as he gets older, and not just how good he was in his prime.

Bird and Mullin were both great shooters, neither were great 3 point shooters, though they were both clutch

True, but the amount of great players in this draft, Kerr wont get the looks he has his whole career especially without MJ.

Sure, but there are plenty of of guys not in the NBA who can do that. Tony Bennett is another. He just wasn't a good enough all around player to earn minutes. Kerr was a fantastic shooter, but his percentage was so high because of shot selection as much as anything else.

I don't think it matters if Steph slowed down. Nobody has done what he has and with his release and how he can do it spot up or off the dribble is amazing. Averaging 11 3 pointers a game at 45% is unhumanlike.

Yep. The difficulty level of the shots he takes and makes so far surpass anybody, it does not even matter what he does the rest of his career. Unless he turns into Ricky Rubio overnight, he is the best.

I have no add/drops

That's not true at all. All teams have players that still require doubles. On my squad, Magic and Baylor can't be checked one on one. Everyone has great players

 

[tlance]

My starters:

PG: Penny
SG: Richmond
SF: LeBron
PF: Unseld
C: Kareem

subs:
Michael Cooper, Dale Ellis, Fat Lever, Caldwell Jones, Jalen Rose

This team can play many different ways. LeBron can slide to the 4 in a small line up, or I can stay big with any of my 3 post players capable of playing on the court together. I have elite defense off the bench, great shooting with Richmond and Ellis and one of the best rebounding teams out there.

Oh yeah, and I have 3 MVPs including LeBron and Kareem.

Sure, but I am not doubling off of Kerr.

Also, who is Kerr going to guard on my squad? The only player on my roster under 6'5" is Lever, and he was a beast.

 

[Nosferatu]

He has over 2000 attempts and has the highest %. I'm kinda doubting his % would go down with more attempts LMAO

He does not have over 2000 attempts.

 

[blstoker]

Starters:
PG - Norm Van Lier
SG - Dennis Johnson
SF - Larry Bird
PF - Elvin Hayes
C - Bill Russell

Bench:
PG/SG - Hubert Davis
SG - Alvin Robertson
SF - Bruce Bowen
PF - Bobby Jones
C - Manute Bol

Seriously? You don't think it would go down with more attempts? Ummm, ok... Not to mention the most he ever made in a season without Michael Jordan on his team was 73... Less than 1 per game. Yeah he was awesome...

Kerr is my 10th man, will hardly ever play, strictly a 3 point specialist. I'd be more worried about who you have to guard Magic and Baylor. Rodman is gonna be all over King James

And he thought Draymond Green was a pain in the ass

 

[Ritzarmy]

Cubs just made themselves even better today by acquiring Chapman. My Nats just wouldn't give up enough young talent for a 2 month rental of Chapman and now they appear to be in trouble if they can't land CL Jeffries from Brewers.

James guards Baylor better than Rodman guards James. Both are tough matchups though.

I can bring in Cooper to guard Magic for stretches, but Penny is good enough to hang.
