JJ Redick reacts to Stephen’s A-List of the Top 5️⃣ 3-point shooters in NBA history | First Take 

I respect your 5th pick stephen a. Not much people show korver love he's a pure sniper!!!!!

JJ is about to tear up when Stephen A was really appreciating the man's work. Your work doesn't get unnoticed, fellas! Grateful to what these people have done for the game. We have had great moments over the years for sure. Lots of driveway and rec league memories by kids, from these shooters.

Got to meet Ray Allen once while coaching at a Boston College basketball camp. He’s as down to earth as they come. As a young player in college, I wanted to know what the secret to success was. He told me, “you get what you put in. I wasn’t born a great shooter, I was born a hard worker.” He credited his family for that as well. It was a pretty humbling experience for me. I’ll forever be a fan of his.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who absolutely cringed and then died laughing when Molly chimed in and yelled “Jesus Shuttlesworth“ 💀😂

Stephen list is actually good. Best list he's made yet

Molly, we get it. Ray allen is your fav player. You dont have to scream it everytime the name comes up.

It’s a shame Drazen Petrović careers was cut short. I think he was the first guy that consistently hit well over 40%. Seeing him play made it seem possible that a guy like Curry could one day exist.

Craig Anthony Hodges (born June 27, 1960) is an American retired professional basketball player and former head coach of the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League. He played in the NBA for 10 seasons and led the league in 3-point shooting percentage three times.

JJ Redick is a humble man to not consider himself top 10. He really isn't to be frank but I enjoy how humble and sincere he is.

Steve Nash is the player with the most 50-40-90 shooting seasons ever, dude was a sniper and would kill in todays game of high volume 3s.

Klay is such an underrated player he never shot under 40% in a season 🤯

*As a Duke fan, Im happy to see how well Redicks career played out because in his first couple years in the league it looked like he might not last long but he did his thing. And as despised as he was at Duke this man has become a Class Act.* *As well as one of the Best commentators out there.* *Great Podcast too btw.*

Kyle Korver is an underrated 3pt shooter. Nobody scared me more than that man when rooting against him. When he got a fairly open catch and shoot look - he would make it it seemed like always. Had a higher percentage than Klay Thompson as well with a lot of numbers from a tougher era when it was harder to play offense, the percentage around the league was lower all around, had way less space than Klay cause he played with worse teams and also his stats include numbers from like I said an older era when it was harder and also from an era when he was near 40 and regressed and he still has a higher percentage. Klay was sure the beter player but as far as shooting that thing - Kyle was a sniper. He was born to shoot 3s. He could't do much else in the game of basketball except that but he could do that better than anybody I have ever seen not named Steph. Btw he made 54% of his threes in 2010. Thats insanity.

Wow I'm actually surprised Stephen A showed some love to Kyle Korver finally some respect, he wasn't averaging 20ppg or the greatest player but Korver could shoot had one of the fastest release and amazing shooting form

Oh how quickly people forget about Steve Nash. A four-time member of the 50 40 90 club, and would have had a fifth time if he would have shot .1% higher free throw percentage in 06-07. He has nine seasons of shooting over 40% from the 3-point line and his career average 3-point percentage is 42.8% . He just didn't shoot them as frequently because he was a pure point guard but do not mistake that for his undeniable shooting prowess. He is undoubtedly in my opinion a top five shooter of all time.

i love seeing the JJ love. so well deserved

I watched JJ warm up in Portland before a game January 2018. This man is beyond dedicated to his craft his career is second to none. Enjoy your retirement!

I got Peja in the top 10 3 point shooters

everytime i watched JJ play he was nailing 3s mad respect ✊🏽

Not a fan of SAS but much respect for giving Andrew Toney some love. The Boston Strangler was a beast. Too bad about the foot injuries.

Reggie was KNOWN… for 4th quarter 3 point daggers

The awkward silence from Molly when Stephen A. brought up Jalen 😂.

Kyle Korver getting some love. Fan since his rookie year, him and Iggy. So happy they both had great careers ❤️

Dale Ellis was hitting 3s in the 80s like players today. Sad ppl forget about him..first player to hit 1000 triples

Klay Thompson is literally the greatest sharpshooter in the NBA low-key people just don't seem to realize he this generation Ray Allen 💯

Peja would of torn up this NBA-way ahead of his time lighting it up from the 3 point line

How is Larry Bird not on this list?! He hit so many incredible Clutch shots and Won three 3 Point Contests in a row! Which will probably never happen again or be beaten! I think he’s top 5 easily! He was shooting behind the basket, calling his shots coming down the court, hitting turn around fadeaway’s from 3…c,mon!

I miss JJ. Such an amazing shooter.

No one mentions Mark price, Glenn Rice, or Dell Curry. All have some of the highest percentage in makes at time where their coaches would most likely bench them for shooting more than 4 3’s a game. They paved the way.

LOVE TOO SEE SOME RESPECT FOR KORVER

I can’t believe I’ve watched JJ Reddick’s whole career. The guy was a weapon from start to finish

lets not forget how much of a beast Ray Allen was in other aspects of the game. He had mad hops and would dunk on anyone back in the day, good handles, good midrange game and good defense. He could go with the best of them

MSG :- SCARED STEPHEN A SMITH :- HAPPY AND SAD STEPHEN CURRY :- READY STEVE KERR :- “WILL NOT PLAY STEPHEN CURRY TONIGHT “😂😂

I’d have had Bird Peja Dirk or Nash at that 5 spot. Respect to Korver

Freaking love JJ Reddick so much on here, and definitely knew he would put Klay at #2 since he’s hinted at it so many times before and that’s exactly where Klay should be. Klay needs way more respect on his name after getting left out of the NBA’s top 75

When Mike Miller, Shane Battier and Ray Allen played together, that was some truly great and ridiculously consistent shooting. If you know you know.

JJ ur being too humble, you're definitely top 10 in my book!

If Steve Nash, took more 3s, he’d be up there. The guy cared more about his teammates, rightfully so

J.J. about to take over ESPN NBA. Looking forward to his insight in the future. Well done young fella!

Kyle Korver was also a very underrated screener. He didn't just curl around screens in a floppy set. He set them, too. Especially in Atlanta, you'd often see him set a pick up top to create two options: either roll and use another off-ball pick to get open towards the wings or corners, or simply pop and fire from the top of the arc.

My top 3 1-shaq 2-Charles Barkley 3-Stephen A Smith

I can argue Klay is a better shooter than Ray Allen.

This was my exacttt top 5 list also. Love Kyle Korver, along with JJ Redick. Even Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stojakovic, Larry Bird. This top 5 is perfect tho. And the exact order.

Jj reddick one of the best 3 point shot makers of all time and can do it leaning moving off the catch and shoot and just lethal

I would’ve put Larry Bird there instead of Kyle Korver

Bro this is one of the few times in Stephen As career that he is absolutely 100% correct..👌 like I literally haven't even finished the vid yet but as soon as he put klay at number 3 I automatically assumed or knew who the last two were gone be his list is literally my exact list lol I was debating between korver and KD as my number 5 spot tho but eventually ended up giving it to korver haven't seen the rest of the vid but I already feel like Ray will be number 2 and curry 1 if his list is exactly like mines which I think it is after hearing he put klay at 3 cause that's where I had him as well I'm finna see tho...👀💯👌 I was right...yeah this 100% accurate list from Stephen A good job .👌

Jj is very humble but I remember him at Duke coming off them screens with accuracy. Dude was a PROBLEM. I wish he had played with a few superstars and got a ring. I’d take him over Kyle.

JJ Reddick can join the Knicks right now and help their offense. The guy is so humble, it’s great to hear that from someone who has accomplished so much to the game.

Wait wait wait I'm confused, if anyone recalls on Stephen's world, I can't remember what that segment was called when fans would ask him questions and he would answer. A kid asked Stephen why Kyle Koever wasn't on the list and Stephen had Larry Bird as the 3rd best 3 point shooter of all time so you gotta ask, why has he now put Kyle in the top 5 of all time?

Good list, but Bird is definitely in my top 5, he just played in an era where teams shot 2 threes a game so his volume isn’t as high.

JJ one of the best shooters ever for sure. Sniper 🎯

We all love JJ!!

Steph Ray Allen Klay Korver Bird Honorable Mention JJ Redick Reggie Miller

Steven A. is missing Mark Price of the Cleveland Cavs

There needs to be a debate about moving/off the dribble shooters too

I love the idea of JJ Challenging loud mouth Stephen A. And frequently says you're wrong to his face 🤣 🤣🤣🍫

Yessir Kyle korver is very deadly 😳.. happy Stephen A put him on top 5

No particular order. Curry. Allen. Klay. Miller. Korver. Didn’t even watch the video had the same ones lol

Kyle Korver did some amazing things on the Hawks. Also JJ is definitely top 10

Molly said Jesus Shuttlesworth so happily! She was just excited to finally connect some dots 😂

People need to put respect on Larry Bird's name

Petrovic I know he was european but give us a break didn't he play in early 90s where was as ya'll say was TOUGH. So if Jordan would score 45ppg DragON would score 35ppg

JJ humble af, respect 🌟

Peja Stojakovic, Redick, Nash, Mark Price are honorable mentions

Ellis, Hodges, mullins for some old school snipers. I agree with this list from a modern era

Larry legend and stojakovich should definitely be on that list

Great list

Love this list

Mahmoud abdul rauf was a SNIPER

Drazen Petrovic is so underappreciated

As a Spurs fan yes... that Ray Allen shot is indeed iconic 😒

That’s a really great top 5. The exact same one that I have 👌

Steve nash snubbed like crazy Dude was a sniper and knew when to shoot he didn't just throw up 20 threes a game

The disrespect too Peja Stojakovic smh

Jj Redick is one of those players that deserves atleast 1 chip. Glad he find his 2nd calling as an analyst.

smart to include korver

Steve Nash was one of the greatest all around shooters I’ve ever seen.

I’ll take Allen to make a game winning shot over curry, Allen didn’t take 15 3’s a night like curry but he hit them when it matters

Elite company. Also would like to mention Bird and Harden in this conversation

I still remember JJ playing in duke like it was yesterday

There's a guy from French Lick, Indiana I'd put in over Korver. Bird was lethal from the arc before anyone understood the true value of it. If you put Bird in this era and had him practice 3's like they do today, he would have been merciless...

Unpopular opinion: Klay is the 2nd greatest shooter ever behind Curry

I love how he introduced klay Thompson

1. Steph Curry 2. Klay Thompson 3. Ray Allen 4. Reggie Miller 5. Steve Nash Steve Nash has more 50-40-90 seasons then anyone and he was way more of a high volume shooter/scorer then Kyle Korver. Think Nash nearly averaged 50-40-90 shooting percentages for his entire career which is insane.

Nice list but Larry Bird should be on it.

NO LIST like this is COMPLETE without Reggie Miller. That's ALL I care about lol.

good to see Kyle get love. he really is one of the shooting GOATs

not everybody can become a coach, but as the league is turning into shooters' era, I wonder if Redick is ever considering about coaching. I mean, his competitive nature, along with all the experience and knowledge he's gained over the years of playing in the league, would make him strong candidate to coaching. (similar to coach Kerr)

Surely he died too early, maybe too early to make this list but thinking about what he did you gotta talk about Drazen Petrovic.

It's crazy how the 3 is so big now because if it was used a lot back then Dale Ellis would be on this list and Dale Curry would be on this list but it is what it is.

I can agree with this list. Every one I was like “okay yup”

I could watch JJ vs Stephen A for 11 hours straight

Does no one notice they misspelled Klay Thompson? 🤣

James Harden for his degree of difficulty is top 10 too

Nailed this list

2:39 😭😭😭 they was he says god has me dying

We need Larry Legend in the list.

Honestly I think that even if idk whoever player can pass curry in the future, I don’t think we can debate on who’s the greatest shooter in the nba history at the end it will always be steph I think in my opinion

I COMPLETELY AGREE ETERNALLY

JJ is a good fit for this job his podcast good to
