WOW @ #5 In 3PTs Made of All Time. NBA Milestone Watch.

[DCAllAfrican]

Was messing around and found this. I know folks know of the site, so I am not Christopher Columbusing.

Kidd developed a nice 3-point shot later in his career. He hits them pretty consistently for the Mavs

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yep. But I didn't realize he made so many to be FIFTH all time. That was a shocker to me. Nice set shooter from deep.

 

[ag 47]

Damn, didn't know that either. Oakland stand up!

 

[japanair21]

Yeah I brought it up in the NBA thread earlier this season.


But the funny, probably more obvious thing is that his 3PT% is worst of anyone in like the top 25.

 

[i nasmatic i]

Kidd was/is a pretty good spot up shooter from three, so I'm not too surprised that he's number 5.

If he developed his mid-range game, he would have been unguaradable.

 

[viiheaven]

I'm more surprised Glen Rice isn't higher up.

 

[xtapolapacetl]

Yeah, you'll find a lot of current player surprises in these 3-point related all-time lists. Mainly because there was no 3-pointer before the 79-80 season and teams didn't start shooting 3s as much as they do now until around the mid 90s.

 

[persiafly]

That's absolutely shocking to me. I would have put him no higher than 25th.

 

[khoshabasfinest23]

That's funny that you posted this becuase I Was looking at that earlier today and was also shocked to see jkidd so high in that list.


Can't wait until Ray Ray breaks that all time record he's closing in on reggie

 

[raycash]

damn j kidd in 5th

 

[im not you]

Had no idea...

 

[frenchblue23]

Damn, Jason Kidd was the last person I would think would be in the top 5.

 

[daprescription]

Homer Bob brought this up last time Warriors played the Mavs

i remember back in the day he was dared to shoot that ball...ason kidd was his nickname due to the fact he had no j...but wow my dude is 5th

eddie jones and nicky v

Peja

If he wasn't hurt all the time, he'd be gunning for that #1 spot before retiring.

 

[downtown43]

players jack up so many threes now. i think Lebron takes like 4-5 a game.. that would have been basically unheard of in the early 90s.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Man yall can say what you want about Jason improving his jumpshot over the years. I don't think anyone knew (without being told) that he was #5.

 

[i nasmatic i]

I knew he was top 10, didn't know he climbed his way to 5 though.

its not like people are keeping count in their heads.... I always thought i was kind of a known fact he was up there in 3pt makes

 

[the gr8]

_ason Kidd! ahead of dudes like Chauncey, Nash, Rice, Tim Hardaway, Pierce, Kobe, H20, and Bibby?? NEVER would have guessed

no Larry Bird or Dirk ANYWHERE on this list? And what year was the 3 point line introduced?

sidenote... Gallo will own this list in 15 years time

Dirk doesnt take nearly the same amount of 3's as he did in his first couple of seasons. Avery kind of got him away from it. He still takes some occasionally though.

I love Dirk from straight away 3 as he trails the play.

 

[miss kidd0]

the 3 pointer has only been around just before the jordan era

[nychiphophippo]

its still mind *bottling* cuz i never would have expected it before running in to how high up he was on the list a year or so ago.
