And Glen Rice was so automatic, the Lakers had to grab him to ensure they’d start their dynasty. Dudes were copying his form back in HS. Good post, good memories

Hubert Davis (UNC bomber and the only player I liked on the Knicks on the 90s besides Greg Anthony. learning to like him as an analyst for ESPN)

Rodney Rogers (was overjoyed with the Jim O’Brien Sixers rented him for the stretch run a few years back. and he still looks like Morris Chestnut.)

Allan Houston (when he played for Detroit and his first 2 years in NYC, he was one of my favorite guards to watch. too much money, too many injuries killed him)

Michael Dickerson (wish he could’ve played longer–a beast at Arizona and a truly underrated 2 guard who unfortunately had to get drafted by the Vancouver Grizzlies)

Keith Askins (him and Vincent Askew were 2 of my favorite guys to put on my teams in NBA Live. They offered no other skill besides hitting open threes off kick-outs from double teams)

Voshon Leonard (one of the slowest guards I’ve ever seen in person but man he could light it up)

Nick Van Exel (I always hated the Sixers for taking Jaren Jackson over Nick in the second round. Van Exel was flashy, obnoxious, and fearless. He was the west coast Iverson on a budget but with a much better outside shot. He also had no clue how to run an effective half court offense)

And about 2 months ago, I was at a diner in South Philly at 2:30 am, sitting 2 booths away from Tim Legler (of LaSalle University). He looked well-rested, tan, and was flocked by a gorgeous women and 2 friends. He recommends the veal parm–it’s tremendous! (peace to Lauren, Dom P, and Vas for recommending Oregon Diner that night)

My other pick would be Chris Morris. He wasn’t exactly a “marksman” in actual games, as his primary objective once the clock started running seemed to be to shatter the backboard as many times as possible (this was before they put in the hydraulic backboards once Shaq got in the league), but during warmups he was one of the best shooters I’ve ever seen. Before each game he would stand out by the tunnel entrance, where all of the players walk in to the arena from the locker rooms, and start shooting from there. He’d hit about 50% of them.

Glen Rice is the reason I became I Heat fan. He was too long for players of that day. Just shoot right over them.

I’ve got a list.
Matt Bullard from the Rockets. He was lights out from downtown and was a good role player for the Rockets title runs in the mid-nineties. Him and Eric Piatkowski pretty much started the craze of having one tall white guy on your team who could shoot the long ball.

Speaking of. Piatkowski was with the Clippers for what seemed like twenty years. Anytime he was in the game, everyone knew he was shooting the three. No one could really stop him. He shot 46.6% from beyond the arc in 01-02!

Finally Voshon Leonard. Again, a Heat player, but he would light it up quick. Once he got started, you had to worry because he would go off for four and five straight threes and he could do it on a regular basis. He was kind of like the poorman’s Vinnie Johnson. Or like Bill Simmons says, the Homeless man’s.

Honorable mentions to Thunder Dan Majerle, Steve Kerr, Kerry Kittles, Vernon Maxwell, Dennis Scott, and Tim Legler.

I always felt John Stockton was a pretender to the throne of the greatest white point guard of the ’90s.

I have too many fond memories of watching Mark coolly drain three pointers at the old Richmond Coliseum back when I was in elementary school.

And it’s Hot Rod Williams. Not Cadillac Williams. Get your head in the game, Zilla.

I’ll be posting my own list of shooters tomorrow, Zilla. Be afraid. Be very afraid…or not. It can go either way.

One.

it was literally the funniest thing to ever happen in my lifetime.

oh, and shooter is a pretty fucking incredible movie. i was surprised at how much i liked it.

Price was the shit, back when he and Craig Ehlo consisted of the accountant and lawyer backcourt of the cuyahoga

But im wondering how u forgot about Wardell Curry!!!!!

Reggie was unreal, and I always wanted him to get a title with those Pacers teams of the 90s. I loved watching Dale Davis and Mark Jackson grind it out. And the Knicks were criminals. I just think if Mitch Richmond ever got that chance, he’d be remembered better and recognized as one of the illest shooters and competitors of his time.
