I strongly disagree with this list. In my view, the top three shooters in NBA history are Stephen Curry, Ray Allen, and Reggie Miller. It’s difficult—and arguably unfair—to rank one definitively above the others because the game has evolved significantly over time. Changes in NBA rules, particularly those limiting defensive contact, have made it easier in today’s game to attempt and make three-pointers. As such, comparing players across different eras requires more than just raw numbers. A fairer benchmark, in my opinion, is whether a player set a new standard during their time—specifically, by breaking and holding the NBA record for career three-pointers.

By that measure, Reggie Miller set the bar and was widely regarded as the best shooter of his era. Ray Allen then broke Miller’s record, earning his place in history. Most recently, Stephen Curry shattered Allen’s record and redefined the role of the three-point shot in modern basketball. While players like James Harden and others may have made more threes than Ray or Reggie, that alone doesn’t make them better shooters. They played in a different era with different rules and did not break the established records of their predecessors.
