Is Reggie Miller REALLY the best 3pt. shooter ever?

People only look at the 3pt. field goals made and they automatically dub him the greatest 3pt. shooter of all time.

yeah he was good as hell... but he isn't really the best ever.

Reggie Miller:
4.7 3 pointers attempted per game
.395%
2560 made
played 18 years

Ray Allen:
6.1 3 pointers attempted per game
.396%
2390 made
played 14 years so far

Peja Stojakovic:
5.5 3 pointers attempted per game
.401%
1696 made
12 years played so far

Ray allen and Peja average more 3's a game and have a higher 3pt shooting percentage..

Ray allen WILL pass Reggie with the most 3 pointers made, but Peja won't because he isn't going to play much longer..

Ray Allen is the greatest three point shooter in the NBA's History.He trails for little in most three point made however he has better percet,better stroke and in his prime is much better three point shooter then Miller duo to better procent/more 3's made and more consistant sroke

Peja might be better three point shooter then Miller on what you have

Miller accomplished this record through consistency, as he was in the top ten for 3 pointers made and attempted every year of his 15 year career. Miller would also place in the top ten in 3 point percentage 5 times with a career best .429 in the 97-98 season. And he has the most Makes, so yeah he's the best 3 point shooter.

Ray allen had seasons with a 3pt. percentages of
.433
.434
.423

Stojakovic had seasons with 3pt. percentages of
.433
.441
and cracked 40% 6 times total

so i don't see how millers career best of .429 proves anything.

and yeah he's gonna have the most makes... he played 6 years longer than peja and 4 years longer than Ray allen

Reggie has double the 3 pointers made in the Playoffs then Allen, Doesn't matter if Allen has a slight higher percentage, Miller has more 3 pointers made while attempting less, that's more efficient.

reggie miller- 144 playoff games
ray allen- 77 playoff games

OBVIOUSLY Miller is going to have more 3 pointers made in the playoffs

I think that Ray Allen is the best 3PT shooter among these three but Dejan Bodiroga was the best ever..Maybe he didn't play in the NBA but he is the greatest shooter in the All Time.

In NBA

1.Ray Allen
2.Reggie Miller
3.Peja Stojakovic
4.Larry Bird
5.Mark Price or Rick Barry

Reggie Miller is the Best 3 point shooter Ever.

but he's played a few YEARS more than Allen/peja.

not games.. YEARS.

Allen will pass miller next season and I'm sure Peja would pass miller if he played 4+ more seasons.

Why are you putting Reggie at fault for playing more Years?

Untill Allen and Peja Pass Reggie Miller, Reggie Miller is the best 3 point shooter Ever.

I'm not putting him at fault.

I started off by saying the only reason why people say Miller is the best 3 pt shooter is because he has the most made 3's. If Miller attempted more 3's like Allen and Peja, chances are that his 3pt% would have gone down. The fact that Allen and Peja shoot more 3's and make them at a higher percentage shows that they are better 3pt shooters

Kareem has the most points in NBA history. does that mean he's the best scorer? nope.. not even close.

No, Because Miller has made more 3 POINTERS while ATTEMPTING less 3 pointers. So Miller is the better 3 point shooter.

And Kareem as one of the best scorers is debatable.

No kareem isn't the best SCORER. his offense was limitied to scoring in and around the paint. He just had very good post moves and a nice sky hook. great SCORERS can score in the paint and shoot jump shots... they don't really have to be 3's.. but like 19 footers.


and again...yeah he attempted less 3's... but since he has played for 18 years, the 3 pointers made stat is obviously going to be high.

Miller- 1596 3 pointers made in the same amount of years Peja played. Peja almost has 100 more. And one of those years is inflated for miller because the 3 point line was moved in

Player / Made Attemp Pct
Reggie Miller 2560 6486 .395
Ray Allen 2390 6041 .396

How Reggie has attempted less?

No, Kareem was a very good scorer one of the best, so by your Logic your saying players like Shaq and Wilt weren't very good scorers.? No that's wrong. These Guys were one of the best scorers in NBA History and for their Positions.

Miller played good for 18 years. If Peja and Allen aren't going to play as Long as Miller has then case done. Miller is the best 3 point shooter, You cant say he isn't because he's played more years and shot slightly less percentage. His durability has allowed him to make more 3's while attempting less then those 2.

Reggie 3pt FG% isn't whats important. Its when he hit his shots.

He's a very good shooter. Come crunch time he was a great shooter.

Look at the 3 pointers attempted per game for their whole careers, not Overall.

Ray Allen 6.1 Pct 0.396
Reggie Miller 4.7 Pct 0.395

If Reggie had 6.1 3pg his Pct would have been even worse, that means Ray is better, he can score more threes with better Pct.
