| Top 5 Shooters
I was talking to a friend today and we were discussing the top 5 shooters in the NBA since around 1985. I pick that date because I was 8 then and thats when I can remember with clarity the NBA games I watched. Just wondering what other people's top 5 are. |

| I had Bird, Miller, Allen, Price. FOr the 5th, I was debating Kerr vs Nash. I know Kerr has/had the best percentage all time but he was never the straw that stirred like Nash was.
Mullin was definately clutch and was my favorite player on NBA Jam. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Replace Kerr with Glen Rice and you've got my list. Also, Drazen Petrovic would be at or near the top of that list if his career hadn't been cut short. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

| Are we talking percentage wise or game changers?
You would think they would be the same but then i look at the answers above and wonder. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | He has one of the highest 3 point shooting percentages in the NBA. I like him because he is a point that can shoot. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | I'd replace Kerr with Rice all day long. Just couldn't think of anyone else off the top of my head. I also agree that Price was a better shooter. Byron Scott was also deadly and I'd have to place him over Kerr. | |

Nowitzki deserves some consideration on the top 5 list. When he has it rolling, he shoots that high arcing step back thing and barely moves the net. I love it. | |
