Round Three: Best Three-Point Shooters of the Last 20 Years

Glen RiceGlen Rice at Michigan

We’re down to the final four, with one real shock. No surprise on Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, or Ray Allen advancing to the semi’s. But Dell Curry knocking off Flattop Jesus (b.k.a. Chris Mullin)?

Over the course of his career, Mullin was a more accurate shooter than anyone else in the field, converting 50.9% of his attempts from the floor. And he scored almost 5,000 points more than Curry over the course of his career, shooting “ice cold daggers,” as reader “atom” wrote.

But, in Dell’s defense, Chris wasn’t a “three-point shooter” by trade. Even if Mullin was a more dangerous player than Curry, his stroke from beyond the three wasn’t as picturesque. Nonetheless, we can’t make the executive decision to overrule your votes even if we (cough, cough, Pat) thought that Mullin was the greatest shooter ever.

Here are the results from Round Two…

Larry Bird Bracket

1. Reggie Miller (33) vs. 5. Dan Majerle (2)
2. Glen Rice (23) vs. 6. Mark Price (12)

Jerry West Bracket

1. Ray Allen (31) vs. 5. Peja Stojakovic (4)
2. Chris Mullin (15) vs. 6. Dell Curry (21)

We’ll tally your votes in the comments section and play off to No. 1…

Larry Bird Bracket

1. Reggie Miller - ‘87-’05: 18.2 ppg, 47.1% FG, 2560 3PM, 39.5% 3FG
2. Glen Rice - ‘89-’04: 18.3 ppg, 45.6% FG, 1559 3PM, 40% 3FG

Jerry West Bracket

1. Ray Allen - ‘96-present: 21.1 ppg, 44.6% FG, 2100 3PM, 39.7% 3FG
6. Dell Curry - ‘86-’02: 11.7 ppg, 45.7% FG, 1245 3PM, 40.2% 3FG

    1. Reggie

    6. Dell

    —-

    I give the vote to Dell purely because of Rays under performance this year in the playoffs and beause Dell played for the raps for 32 seconds.

  3. that's whats up says:

    Dell Curry wore those short shorts.
    I give it to Ray

    and nobody can beat Reggie Miller. The minute he walked out of the locker room he started yelling “I’m open”

  4. Dime Magazine says:

    This is absurd. I’m boycotting the rest of this - Dell Curry definitely had a ratchet, but Mullin was in a different league.

  45. atom says:

    Miller

    Dude, you got a Dell

    I just dont remember Dell missing many threes (maybe its because he hasnt played in the L for so long). Also, he decidedly smoked my boy Mully’s ice cold daggers in the last round, so if anybody should get hosed by Reggie, ild rather it was him.

  46. Prof. TX says:

    Glen Rice
    Ray Allen

  47. SD32 says:

    I think Ray Allen should have the honour of losing to Reggie in the final. There’s no question that Reggie would out-shoot Jesus… as well as Ray-ray

  48. Zach says:

    Everybody is gonna hate but:

    Glen Rice

    Dell Curry

    But it should come down to Reggie and Glen in the finals cuase Rice should have had that other #1 seed

  49. Haslem says:

    Reggie and Ray in the finals.

  55. johnny says:

    Reggie and Ray

    Dell Curry got in off that Sega game. :D

  56. Steve says:

    reggie and ray ray no doubt about it.

    Ioc, that underperformance in the playoffs by mr. allen is entirely overshadowed by his record-breaking 22 3s in the finals and record-tying 7 treys in a finals game.

  57. J says:

    miller and ray allen, but can i also vote for dan majerle vs rex chapman in a trick shot contest?

  58. wowzers says:

    reggie and jesus

  59. Candy Maldonado says:

    Dell Curry over Chris Mullin? The hell’s going on here?

  60. Fertsy says:

    Miller… Damn I wanna pick Rice over Reggie being a long-time Heat fan but there’s no way Reggie doesn’t come up with the big plays to win

    & gotta go Allen been the man in Mil & Sea and still bombin on folks puts Jesus over 6th Man Dell
