Bird might have been the greatest shooter until the modern era, but he obviously isn’t as good of a three point shooter as some of today’s players. All we can do now is theorize what Bird could do if he practiced more. People brought up Bird’s stat of 11 out of 72. Until last night’s game Klay was 5 out 35. That was a pace worse than Bird. If Bird shot more threes Bird would have probably had a better percentage. I don’t think Bird would have ever been as good as Curry, and people shouldn’t die on the hill of Bird being the best shooter. Bird was one of the best overall players ever, not just a good shooter.

It's funny that Klay could be in the conversation for best shooter of all time if there wasn't a guy on his team who is definitely the best shooter of all time

Players who didn’t grow up with a three point line shouldn’t be in the same conversation as players born in the 80s or later.

I mean, some rando guy with 2k followers isn't exactly a reliable source but I guess it would be Fultz and Wilson Chandler? Not sure if Butler would re-sign there since he'd be the "3rd guy" in Philly but drat if he wouldn't be a great fit.

If it was to Philly I wanted Robco so Wiggins could move back to the 2, but that probably won't happen.

In that case Embiid is the best shooter who grew up without a 3 point line

Embiid is a career 31.9% 3pt shooter vs Bird's 37.6%, Bird has had 6 seasons shooting over 40% from 3. Embiid is really pretty bad at shooting 3s.

Like with a lot of stuff Embiid does it's very easy to get caught up in the holy poo poo aspect of someone that big doing it while ignoring how often it actually works out well

e: this makes it sound like I think he's bad which I definitely do not, I just think he'd be more efficient if he cut back on some of the showier guard type stuff

I wish my giant, slow PG was anywhere near as good as him



Magic got taken for a loving ride, like I can sometimes see what he can be, but he just spends so much time being invisible and useless out there. And without bigs who are good at boxing out, he isn't able to run a lot of fastbreaks which is pretty much his only elite skill at this point.
