"As part of the Grantland NBA preview, we ranked the top 20 shooters in the NBA. The list includes catch-and-shoot snipers like Kyle Korver, stretch 4s like Serge Ibaka, and do-it-all point guards like Chris Paul. Everybody on the list possesses at least one ridiculous shooting skill. However, the top three guys are each able to blend scoring volume and shooting efficiency in ways that set them apart.

Dirk Nowitzki, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant enter the 2014-15 season as the best shooters in the league. While guys like Korver and Ibaka are masters of their specific domains, Nowitzki, Curry, and Durant are much more versatile and create their own shots in ways only superstars can."

:cry but but what about Danny Green...

LeBron's shooting efficiency with his jumper the last couple years has been extremely impressive. While he has improved, I think a lot of it also has to do with his much improved shot selection. It's not like he has shot way fewer three pointers like he did in 2011-12 when Spoelstra challenged him and Wade to shoot fewer jumpers, but it had become more and more rare that he took really bad jumpers unless he was feeling it and/or taking heat check shots. Still, while he has improved and does have the flare for dramatic shot-making sometimes, I still wouldn't put him in the top 5 of guys I would want taking a must-have jumper, probably not in the top 10 either. Maybe that's just me though.

James considered Top 20. Reason # infinitely why the NBA today is worse off

[whitemamba]

Klay at 11... ?

[Red Hawk #21]

What a joke of a list. I can't believe they have Klay at #11.

[~O~]

The delusion that LeBron James is great at everything list because of his name being mentioned every second of the day.

I agree with all of this.

[RsxPiimp]

Yeah Lebron is pretty money with his J. But in no way is he better than Klay or CP3.

[100%duncan]

No Green? What in the actual fuck.

[Bill_Brasky]

Why is Ibaka on that list.....

[313]

Why is Ibaka on that list.....

Danny >>>> Marco

[Raven]

Hands down the worst list ever.

[Malik Hairston]

It's a shitty list since the criteria is so mixed(thus making it harder on themselves to develop an accurate list), but at least they used numbers and actual data for their rankings, tbh(I'm assuming, I didn't actually click the link/read the article:lol)..
