Shaun Livingston was a beast midrange shooter. I remember him always pulling up near the free throw line shooting right over JR smith in them finals. I was like damnnn this dude never misses!

@nicenicenice8863 Год назад

He was never like that though. He was a slasher his whole career until he got injured and traded to GSW. That's when he started playing different and started shooting middies.

@hex-2748 Год назад

@mcfreshness Год назад

Love the list they had. They wanted to prioritize players who had all the moves at mid-range. Not only just catch and shoot players or using 2-3 screens to get a good look. They obviously focused on players who could do almost any move to get a bucket at mid-range. Whether if it was a post-up, jab step, fade away, shoulder turn, drop step, single dribble to shot, footwork, etc., they were able to use almost any move to create space for a good shot. And you would have no idea which move they would choose from. It's the kind of player that you would dread guarding in isolation. Once you're stuck on that island, you're doomed.

@themontgomeryc Год назад

Larry Bird is thought of now as a 3 point shooter because of highlights and the 3 point contest. He actually shot less than 2 3s per game most of his career. He has to be on this list. He was called a long range shooter because it WAS long range for the time but midrange was his best aspect by far.

Kyrie Irving has to be pretty up there too for Point Guards. I know he's not in favor these days, I'm not a fan either and I think there are so many issues with him both on and off the court, but the dude's midrange game is pretty deadly. Other PGs have to include Oscar Robertson, Steve Nash, Shaun Livingston, Sam Cassell, Tony Parker.

Brandon Roy is so slept on. I’m surprised Danny Granger didn’t get a mention as he seemed intent on standing against the 3PT revolution by taking the earliest/most contested 18fters 😂😂😂 MJ was always insane cuz of his ability to hang after an unseen vertical, but god damn it’s almost even more insane to have that level of dominance in the 2nd 3-peat where he had lost a little bit of his step/burst/athleticism while the entire league go so much better from 86 to 95. Dirk is an all timer and all time big who changed the game without having the defensive switchability or elite rim protection, but his damn LaMarcus Aldridge don’t miss that shit and it seems so easy to him.
