I'm talking about shooting off the dribble. While I have never heard of "off the ball" shooting, that's obviously reggie's strong point.
We know that Reggie was a better scorer than Joe, that wasn't the question. The question way, an elite scorer is going to shoot for more volume because they can create their own shot, especially in the 90's without zone D so the fact that Reggie wasn't doing this is a red flag if we are talking ELITE scorers.But Reggie Miller put up 24 ppg on 15 shots a game in 1990 by doing mostly this though
Steph Curry is a much better shooter imo, and if he definitely would be able to accomplish this.
Who said he had Ray Allen's handles and playmaking ability?
Where did this statement come from in this thread?
Compare Joe Johnson's shot attempts to Reggie Miller's....then you would have the answer to your question.
Reggie Miller career high FGA is only 15.7 in 1990, and he only shot 15 shots per game in only 2 of his entire 18 year career.
Joe Johnson career high FGA is 20.0 in 2007, and he has shot 15 shots per game or more in 8 of his 16 career seasons.
Thanks for being the first person to actually answer the question of the thread title instead of catching feelings
He didn't have the handles.
the question was how would Reggie fit in this offense. Him being barely capable of shooting off the dribble would make him a bad fit. He was not creating his own shots or shot for anyone else for most of his career.
Reggie Miller COULD shoot off the dribble. Adding in "could he shoot off the dribble from 30 feet" and other random shyt like that, which weren't and still AREN'T considered good shots, holds 0 weight in what I was debating. Could Reggie Miller shoot off the dribble? Yes. You know he did not score 100% of his points from behind 3pt line off of assisted passes breh
Is he Ray Allen off the dribble? No and he's nowhere near Curry at all when it comes to doing that either (talking bout Reggie). BUT, could Reggie Miller shoot off the dribble? Yes....he could.
and throwing a lot of unwarranted shade on a GOAT/HOF shooter.
Could and saying it was a strength is the biggest difference. It would be a lie to act like Miller was taking cats off the bounce but Miller pump fakes and movement off the ball still is a marvel to watch on film. He had this awareness that was 2nd to none. But whoever said Reggie didn't have the quick release, that's bullshyt to a degree. He's 6'7 with long ass arms, getting to his shot is a lot harder than Steph not considering Steph's handles but Reggie was extremely tough to stop. But like Karl Malone, they created a system for him in Indy.

Don't know how you deduced that from what i said.this dude really acting like screens are some crazy new shyt invented just for 3pt shooters
