Are white players better than black players when it comes to 3PT shooting?

[irishock]

Let's look at the top 3pt shooters in the NBA by skin colour:

White:
Steve Nash
JJ Redick
Kevin Love
Dirk Nowitzki
Matt Bonner
Steve Novak
Kyle Korver
Mike Miller
Ryan Anderson
Klay Thompson

Black:
Ray Allen
Jason Terry
Dick Jefferson (pct wise)
J-Rich
Raja Bell
Al Harrington
Mo Williams
Anthony Morrow
Kevin Durant



So what is it, are black men better suited for a physical game and white dudes are better off as jumpshooters with a nasty stroke?

[Russo21]

White man can't jump. So they just practise shooting more lol

[smaka]

I wouldn't say it's a matter of a skin color.. some guys are born shooters, nothing you can do here....

[racm]

Generally white dudes are less athletic, so in order for them to play in the NBA they need to develop a skill, and 3 point shooting is an asset teams love especially when they have slashers or post players.

White boyz used to get tired of their inside the lane shots getting thrown over the playground fence, so once they became menz, they started shooting further and further away from the basket. This gave them a fighting chance at actually scoring. With all this said shooting practice, the white menz became fantastic 3pt shooters. Even so, the black menz still own the 3pt line as well. So basically, the black menz are better at all aspects of basketball. :hat

Do you find 3 point baskets to be spectacular ?


They used to be IMO (but not anymore)

Majerle shooting from waayyy downtown, Bird making fadeaway 3's at the buzzer, Miller destroying MSG, Dale Ellis and his quick release ...


But nowadays, they are boring

[Calispursfan11]

I wasnt aware Klay thompson was white

Curry/Thompson best halfsie backcourt in the league :lol

[O.J. Simpson]

Most 3 pointers of all-time:

Ray Allen (Negro)
Reggie Miller (House Negro)
Jason Kidd (Semi-Negro)
Jason Terry (Field Negro)
Chauncey Billups (Field Negro)

No honkies on that list, tbh.

lol fat white people and Mexicans breaking down the NBA roles.

[Latarian Milton]

for sure there're more black shooters than white when the league is predominantly made up of black players, they thus outnumber the white players in every category imho. however the % of whites who live on 3pt line is much greater than that of the black and that's probably because most whites don't wanna drive inside to have body contacts with them niggas who they think are dirty, which also explains why white players in general play shitty defense

[lakerhaterade]

:lol rogue wit de solid greats

Mike Dunleavy Sr. has said that white players are simply inferior athletically and generally not suited for the NBA. I tend to agree. So the only way they can be effective is to be damn good at threes or damn huge and take up a lot of space. There are exceptions, but not many.

well to be fair, part of being a guard that plays monkeyball is jacking up alot of 3 pointers. These are tings we know tbh. So of course more black guys will be at the top of the list, they're the ones that volume shoot. Has any white guy ever been described as a volume shooter?

[monosylab1k]

Career 3 point FG percentage (to those who subscribe to monkeyball, it's who actually is good at making the 3 pointers they shoot)

1. Steve Kerr (honkey)
2. Steph Curry (negro)
3. Hubert Davis (the whitest black guy in NBA history)
4. Drazen Petrovic (dead honkey)
5. Steve Novak (honkey)
6. Jason Kapono (honkey)
7. Tim Legler (honkey)
8. Steve Nash (honkey)
9. Anthony Morrow (monkeyball anomaly)
10. BJ Armstrong (technically a negro but even black ppl would let the whites claim him)

Billups, Kidd and Terry would qualify for some form of low percentage monkeyball chucking. Can't say the same for Allen and Oreo Miller though.

39.5% (44th all-time) and 40.0% (34th all-time) career 3PT% from the players with the most 3PT attempts in history is pretty fucking good. I think Steve Nash is the only honkey from the 3PT% list who's even in the top 100 in 3PT attempts/makes. He's also one of the few that had to actually dribble in his career.
