No group of basketball players draws attention quite like the elites from beyond the arc-the best three-point shooters in NBA history. The precision of a surgeon and the flair of a circus performer describe these players. If one will say so, they are as crucial to basketball as free sports picks are to bettors looking at making that winning wager.
Let’s get it started with the legend himself, Larry Bird, a man as poetic shooting form was to trash talking. So, there is this story about how Larry used to just stroll into the locker room and be like, “Who’s coming in second tonight?” That’s confidence, and Bird seemed to back it up on the court. Bird came with an unparalleled swagger to match his talent, indeed, to be the trendsetter for the use of lethal outside shooting in basketball.
Fast forward to some years later, we have the precision of Reggie Miller. If Bird was the prototype, Reggie was the master craftsman. Whether it was his unforgettable moments at Madison Square Garden or clutch shots that tied games in intense playoff matchups, the magic was there with Miller.
When Reggie started up a game, anything was liable to happen, but you could always count on him when it counted most.
And in these viral video, GIF-worthy highlight clip times, there’s Steph Curry. To watch Curry rain down threes is to watch a bird in flight-it’s almost effortless and gorgeous. He has reinvented the game; he’s changed how defenses prepare and how coaches preach. Defenders might as well be chasing a ghost, as this kid dances and weaves in his pursuit of open space and successfully converting shots way downtown. His performances, which have shattered records, have redefined the way we thought was possible. At times, he seems to shoot from outer space! Steph isn’t just a player; he’s a revolution on feet.
