You may wanna look this one up, I stand by my statement.

What is your argument otherwise?

Taking out Steph, who we all know is #1, let's take a look:

Klay has the 11th best 3pt% of all time and averages 6.9 3pt attempts per game.

The 9 guys ahead of him and their 3pt attempts per game(again, not counting Steph):

- Kerr 1.7
- Hubert Davis 2.4
- Drazen Petrovic 2.0
- Jason Kopono 2.1
- Kyle Korver 4.6
- Tim Legler 1.9
- Steve Nash 2.9
- BJ Armstrong 1.4
- Steven Novak 2.9



Honest question, are you saying it's a no brainer so much to laugh at me that you'd prefer a 44% shooter from 3 shooting 2 attempts per game over a guy shooting 7 per game at 42%? You sure that's the hill you want to die on here?


Korver is the only guy you could argue over Klay as #2 at 43.1% on 4.6 attempts. But I'll take Klay's 42.1% on 6.9 attempts.


What's so funny about Klay at #2?

He hasn’t played long enough but you guys are going solely off 3 point total #s which will skew towards current players when you say shooter I don’t think just about 3s. Bird did not attempt nearly as many because the game was different. It would appear the zone defense along with emphasis on analytics has meant more 3 point attempts and makes. Birds overall FG% is better as is his FT%. I’d love to see him in today’s game.

The data doesn't lie.


The data shows he has the 3rd best 3P% onhis own franchise

7 years isn’t enough imo he needs to keep it up though it’s hard to not think he’s gonna get more open shots cause he’s the 3 option
