Jason Kapono
Three-pointers made: 457 Three-pointers attempted: 1,054 Three-point percentage: 43.4% During his nine-year career, Jason Kapono, who spent some time playing in Miami, Philadelphia, and Toronto, was a three-point specialist and UCLA’s three-point percentage record holder.
He was one of the best three-point contestants in basketball history and won the Three-Point Shootout for two consecutive years, with scores of 24 and 25 out of a possible 30. With a career average of just 6.7 points per game, Kapono is an excellent example of a fantastic shooter who was not such a strong player overall
Duncan Robinson
Three-pointers made: 250 Three-pointers attempted: 565 Three-point percentage: 44.2% Division III Rookie of the Year 2014, Duncan Robinson, made quite the impression while playing college ball for Michigan. He led the Big Ten Conference in three-point shooting percentage (.450) for a while, and during his college years, made several game-changing three-point shots in some major tournaments.
When he went on to play in the NBA for Miami, Robinson set records for three-point shots made in a quarter, as well as tying the record for three-point shots made in a game. In his second season, he also set a franchise record for most three-pointers made in a season. He also represented the Heat in the NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest.
Mike Miller
Three-pointers made: 1,590 (22nd all-time) Three-pointers attempted: 3,910 Three-point percentage: 40.7% Rookie of the Year in 2001, Mike Miller, has reinvented himself as a player more than once during his almost two-decade-long career. Miller was at his best, however, when he focused on shooting the basketball from the outside.
Despite playing for seven different teams, he always performed at a high level, remaining 22nd all-time in three-pointers made and 23rd in percentage. What really secured his place on this list, was the three on one shoe Miller infamously made in the 2014 NBA Finals.
Allan Houston
Three-pointers made: 1,305 (43rd all-time) Three-pointers attempted: 3,247 Three-point percentage: 40.2% A two-time member of the NBA All-Star Team and Olympic gold medalist Allan Houston was famous for getting points on the board. Lots of points, which he racked up with his impressive three-point shots.
He is known for being the Knicks’ best scorer during their deep playoff runs in the 1990s.
Dirk Nowitzki
Three-pointers made: 1,918 (11th all-time) Three-pointers attempted: 4,668 Three-point percentage: 38.3% At roughly 7-feet tall, Dirk Nowitzki is believed by many to be the best big man shooter to ever step onto a basketball court. His high release point and deep range have had defenders up in arms since his first days in the NBA.
Although most of his playing takes place from the mid-range, what really makes him unique and sets him apart from other power forwards in the league is his impressive three-point shot.
