GUN TO YOUR HEAD: One NBA Player can take a 3 pointer to save your life, and they make 1 million dollars... Who are you choosing?

I'll take Larry Bird in a heart-beat, and I'll be alive.

 

[Sunni Man]

Larry Bird

 

[odanny]

LOL… yea, I'm going to take Bird cuz he's white, but Steph Curry is the best 3 point shooter in NBA history.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

John Paxson........

 

[Justin Richardson]

Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan

Really?

MJ's career 3 point percentage: 32%
Larry Bird's career 3 point percentage: 37%

Yikes... playin' a little russian roulette there.. you know those "Be Like Mike" ads were just commercials...

 

[The_Lyrical_Miracle]

John Paxson........

Wow, that's an odd choice. Hey, he had one big shot in his career, and had a 35% career 3 point %. I'm not saying it's a BAD choice, but I'd hope you'd select better.

Well let's be honest, if Larry Bird played in today's NBA, and played in a game that encouraged the 3 pointer as it does now... I think you might see things a little different.

If you had a 3 point contest, 5 racks, 5 balls with a money ball at the end of each rack... and you lined up 1986 Larry Bird with today's Steph Curry.. are you taking Curry?

Yeah,but I still like Mike....

Yeah,but I still like Mike....

Hey, it's your life. LOL

MJ ain't much of a shooter, which is why he wouldn't be nearly as effective in today's game.

Of course I am, he's the GOAT of 3 pointers.

Luka Magic Doncic from the new guys, Reggie Miller from the old guard

Curry. Any other answer is ridiculous

Yes everyday and twice on Sunday. Curry has taken more than 3 times as many 3pt shots and made them at a better percentage, like 5% better. Curry is a better shooter than Bird.

Curry. Any other answer is ridiculous

Which one? Seth surprisingly shoots a better 3% then his brother, but Steph can create his own shot and get it off easier.

Seth doesn’t have the attempts though. 1500 vs over 7k. But yeah they are both phenomenal shooters. Steve Kerr has the highest career percentage.. Bird isn’t in the top 20. He’s 170 actually.…..

Curry. The golden state one. Are you kidding? Even off balance he makes them. Even 3 feet beyond the ark. When curry shoots you believe it’s going in and usually it do.

I mean there are only 169 other guys who have played in the NBA who would be a better choice percentage wise but ok.

Bill Russel or Larry Bird. Changed my mind Steve Kerr holds the record for having the best 3-point shooting percentage in NBA history. As a role player who could knock down shots, Kerr was a key part of the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 90s.
Hold up changed again.

1. Stephen Curry. Three-point percentage: 43.6% When it comes down to the numbers, Curry is shooting and making more three-pointers than anybody that has ever played.
