They’re more than capable players who can find the bottom of the net from anywhere on the court. They can get their shot of regardless is there a defender on them or not. Again, they also excel in all situations like off dribble, catch and shot etc. Having a guy such as this, it’s always helpful because they came up big when you need them most and so on. It’s an art form to watch a great shooter to go in work. These kind of players can connect on variety of shots and beat their defenders in dozens of ways. The highest honor for a shooter can be joining the 50/40/90 club. It’s perhaps the biggest recognition for a player that has nice shooting skills, as only the most elite are in there. This means that one player is capable of hitting at least 50 percent from field, 40 percent from behind the arc and 90 percent from the charity stripe Without further ado, here are the greatest shooters in NBA history!

There’s no doubt at all that the legendary Julius Erving had the ability and could play in any era, while being arguably at the top. He had the needed things to excel. He was among the most physically gifted players of all time. He was athletic, quick, explosive, could jump really high, run the court well consistently, had amazing hang time etc. His advantages weren’t questionable, because they were one of the main reasons of his excellence. Dr J also possessed arsenal of moves to score inside, soft touch and decent outside shot too. Julius retired as the fourth and sixth all time leading scorer in both regular and post season for a reason. He always put himself in great chances, thanks to his finishing and ability to get to the basket. Additionally, he was terrific defensively. In particular, his off-ball defense which was arguably second to none. He was notable presence at the lanes and was the master of the chase down blocks. He ranks high in those categories, as he ranks 12th and 13th on the all time list in playoff and regular season defensive win share. So, he did make a positive impact on that side of the court too. The bottom line is, that the Doctor could play at a world class level in any era.

The first great European player to play in the NBA, Drazen Petrovic was one of the game’s greatest shooters of all time. He was a world class one. Petro was a sharp shooter who could find the bottom of the net from anywhere. He relied on screens to get open looks, but he could also create his own jumper, hit off the dribble, was terrific in catch and shot etc. Drazen had terrific range on his shots. He was excellent from mid range, where he shot above 50% percent for his career. Only few have matched that. He was a lethal threat at beyond the arc too. Petrovic consistently was among the leaders in three point percentage. He’s also among the top 5 leaders in that category. He was also good at the charity. His efficiency was simply off the charts. Drazen had over 50% field goal percentage in an era where the average was around 44% percent. His excellence as a shooter was undeniable. This is why he was guarded pretty close. He was so great! It’s a shame that he lost his life too early.
