Top 10 Best 3 Point Shooters in NBA History

Stephen Curry possesses god-given skills, evident in his incredible jump shot, range, and ball-handling abilities. People often underestimate Steph, even though he's having a season that is similar to, if not better than, his 2015 MVP and championship season. Many criticize him solely because Kevin Durant joined the Warriors. However, Curry is one of the hardest workers in the entire league and has broken countless records related to three-pointers.

People like to point out that Ray Allen has the most career three-pointers and has made one of the clutchest shots of all time in the NBA Finals. Yet, it's only a matter of time before Curry surpasses Allen for the most career three-pointers in both the regular season and the playoffs. Stephen Curry has also led the league in three-pointers five times in a row.

He has surpassed Ray Allen's best shooting season in terms of three-pointers made four times, while Ray Allen led the league in three-pointers three times in his 18-year career. Reggie Miller and Larry Bird each led the league in three-pointers twice in their 18-year careers.

Off the court, Curry has steered clear of trouble and serves as one of the best role models you could imagine. He is a significant reason why three-pointers have become a modern threat and a necessity for a team to win a championship ring.

Stop saying Curry is better than Ray. Steph just broke the record for most 3s made in a season, but that doesn't make him better than Ray. Plus, there's a reason why Ray's better than Steph. It's because Ray lasted throughout his whole career, and Steph didn't even reach 10 years in the NBA.

All the more, you can't compare them. If Steph still shoots threes after 13 or more years in the NBA, then he's better. But for now, Ray's still the best 3-point shooter ever.

Of course Ray Allen. First all-time when he broke Reggie Miller's record and now approaching 3,000 three-pointers.

How the heck is Reggie third? He's the best shooter ever. Ray Allen better be reading this. Reggie Miller all day.

Honestly, if I had to choose between Reggie and Ray, which are the two best of all time, I'd choose Reggie both for 3s and clutch.

I can't stand the guy personally, but he is a heckuva 3-point shooter.

Miller better than Bird? Are you out of your mind? It's a big deal that Miller made more 3's, but it was over more time, games, and attempts. Miller is more clutch than Bird? I never saw Bird have the worst game of his career in a big playoff game, like Reggie did when he went 3 for 18 with the season on the line.

Bird guaranteed victories and backed it up. Larry Legend would smoke Reggie. Reggie also had to kick out his leg to get someone to bump him for foul calls. That's also true. Watch it. He always kicked defenders when he released the shot and then got to go to the free-throw line for some bull. Bird was the best clutch player of all time.

Steve Nash was such a good passer that his shooting abilities were underrated.

Passes a lot, but you can count on him when he shoots.

Shooting and passing - nobody could do both well except him and Magic.

Great shooter, extremely accurate. Much more than a specialist, though. Mike can ball handle pretty well.

Okay player, great shooter.

Best three-point percentage of all time, very clutch, add the four championship teams. Yeah, I think he needs to be in the top three 3-point shooters.

Highest 3-point percentage of all time at over 45%. Clutch late in the game.

Steve Kerr is the best spot-up jump shooter in the history of the game.

This is really funny right here. Having Peja not even in the top 10 when we are talking about SHOOTERS. There is no way guys like Terry, Arenas, Nash, and Kobe are better shooters than Peja. The only guys that can contest Peja really are Allen and Redd for the most part.

Other than Allen and Redd, I don't think anyone on this list should be ahead of Peja as a shooter. This is about shooters, not all-around players, so it might be Peja.

How is Peja not top five on this list?!

Statistic-wise, Kobe is not all that great for 3s, but his are more incredible than any other on this list.

Record 12 threes. Has had many games where he's shot 50+% from three to get high scores. All his 50+ point games, he goes off from behind the arc.

Kobe is one of the best three-point shooters of all time.

Don't try to guard this guy. He can shoot in the face of three defenders.

You try defending a 7-footer that shoots over his head.

Good luck blocking this guy from the three.

The silent assassin. Nobody was better in his days.

Gilbert is a great shooter and all-around player. I think he is a top ten quality 3-point shooter. I don't know. There are so many great players in the NBA.
