LeBron was chucking up long ass threes at the end of his first Cleveland run. Baron Davis was jacking up long ass pull up threes his whole career. Arenas, the same. Vince as well. McGrady. Antoine Walker, to horrible results.To be fair, was Gilbert pulling up from 30+ feet regularly? I didn't see a lot of him real time. I don't recall seeing Vince and LeBron doing that often.
None of them did it at the rate or accuracy of Steph obviously, but people would have you believe he's the first guy to pull up from thirty on any type of regular basis.
