One of only four players in history to shoot over 50% from the field, 40% from the 3 pt. line, and 90% from the free throw line in one season. A member of dream team two, four time all star and two time three point shoot-out champion. Oh yah did I mention he's the ALL TIME leader in free throw percentage.

But what I want to know is how did Kapono come in a tie with Bird according to NBA players??? And no disrespect to Miller but his stroke wasn't sweet enough for me to even consider him. That's not taking anything away from the fact that he could knock em down with the best of em! 4239880 2009-01-23T21:27:26-05:00 6 MA pfcole Quincy 609200 35 Jerry West of the Lakers of the 60's and 70's. The NBA logo is modeled after him! If he ever played with a 3 point line it would have been criminal how many points he would have scored. And yes, he was the best pure shooter I ever saw, Hands down. 4094974 2009-01-23T19:57:28-05:00 2 WA clsmooth25 Seattle 682590 34 Mark Price, John Paxson, Steve Nash, BJ Armstrong, Craig Hodges, There are alot of great shooters left out ..

He too should be considered as one of the greatest pure shooters. 4092144 2009-01-23T11:31:13-05:00 1 KY trpBoston Ashland 682241 29 I'm old school. Even though Ray Allen has a beautiful touch, especially the catch and shoot off the pick, the purest shooters I ever saw were Sam Jones and Jo Jo White of the Celtics. Sam was the last of the great bank shot shooters. Anyone out there ever see them? 4086077 2009-01-23T10:50:46-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/544/3/thumb/horse.jpg 500 XX El_Stone Houston, TX 77018 5463 28 What the hell does &quot;pure shooter&quot; mean? Does that mean the player can't do anything but shoot? Does it mean his shot is pure?
