      KG had a strange game. He made a lot of difficult fadeaway shots because of his style of play with so many fakes in the post. He also guarded anyone, 1-5 so that made his defensive play very versatile. He did shoot a lot of midrange shots and shot it well.

      @@linkonedgell894 You might think that from his stats but honestly he started and did his job perfectly. That’s what those Larry Brown Pistons era teams were all about. It wasn’t about anyone trying to keep their 25, 5 and 5 stats rolling every night. It was about winning through cutthroat defense and utilizing the bench players to where they’re just as important to our success as the starters. I truly believe there will never be another NBA champion team as unique as our 2004 squad

    Not having Jerry West even mentioned in the list is a travesty. He’s the logo, named Mr. Clutch, and was a guard in a center dominated league, who was a flamethrower. The only man to win Finals MVP while losing, to Bill Russell nonetheless. Not to go on too long, but he was a great shot creator during a time when the rules only allowed player to dribble using the top of the ball, and not allow the ball handler to create any sort of contact.

      @@JawstR None of the numbers support your argument. Kobe is top 5ish for me, he isn't top 3. MJ, Bird, KD, and Dirk were all more proficient and smarter with their mid range selection. Kobe was a great mid range shooter, but he literally copied every signature MJ move and shot the same type of shots, but at a lower efficiency. We also have to factor in that Kobe's mid-range jumper was not great in his first seven years. It was not in it's complete form until the 2005-06 season. Kobe was a very average shooter his first 4 seasons, then became good the next 3 seasons. Bird and Dirk were complete shooters from the beginning, and MJ's jumper was much better than Kobe's in their first 7 years. Kobe's poor shot selection is why he drops down on this list. Do I think he could shoot middy shot for middy shot with MJ? Sure, like in practice, but MJ created better shots for himself when it was game time with better physical abilities than Kobe did. That's the difference.

    To me, Michael Jordan is no doubt the greatest mid-range shooter of all time. His percentage increases in the playoffs and increases more in the dying seconds of the game, when the game is on the line. His game winners were almost all the time midrange shots and they were unguardable and fluid. Defenders can only wish that he misses and most of the time he makes it. Undoubtedly the GOAT.

    A mid-range shot in the NBA is a jumper outside of the key, but inside the three-point line. It's subjective though. So not all mid range shots are necessarily equal. A player who mainly shoots close range jumpers can not be compared with a player who takes shots just inside the 3 point arc.

    he was:
    6th in 97 with 9.4 attempts and making 46%
    2nd in 98 with 12.3 attempts (45%)
    3rd in 99 with 9.6 attempts (44%)
    3rd in 00 with 10.3 attempts (48%)
    7th in 01 with 9.9 attempts (45%)
    then he fell out of top 10 in mid range attempts as the league became more of a volume scoring swingmen league, but he would still average around 10 attempts and with a solid 45 to 50 fg% for another couple of years.
    houston was never amongst the leaders in attempts, but he had a 4/5 year run in late 90s/early 00s where he would take around 9 mid range shots per game and shoot close to 50%. if he played today he would easily be the best mid range shooter.
