JJ Reddikk "Larry Bird is not a top 3 Three Point Shooter of all time."

Someone queue up Rick Barry



8 minute mark.

JJ bases his argument on volume, attempts, makes & %'s. But JJ does not account for era and how the game was played.

What does your eyes tell you JJ. Steph is the greatest 3pt shooter but he isnt even top 10 in 3pt% ever. But we know why. The volume of the shots and the difficulty of his shots keeps his %s down not to mention the quality of looks he gets. Larry is a careee 38% 3pt shooter but he came into the league where they just instilled the 3pt shot and he did not have a 3pt line in college at all.

Mad dog saying "You weren't alive when bird was playing."


If you let Bird take 10+ 3s a night

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Hes not a top 3 3 point shooter of all time

You shouldnt really factor in hypotheticals too much. He didnt have the volume. If you want to talk about talent or ability while disregarding numbers then yeah maybe, but in totality you cant justify it

 

[Shadow King]

He's correct.

 

[NormanConnors]

Imagine if Dale Ellis could have took 15 3's a game . Dale was a legit scorer without the 3 ball too.

Doesn't fukking matter. Bird wasn't shooting the 3 like these boys today. PERIOD

The game, especially as it relates to 3pt shooting, has evolved. Deal with it

Old ass nikkas wanna give Bird a participation trophy because he was good at it "for his time" Gimme a fukking break

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

this isnt even a hot take from JJ Redikk. putting Bird above Steph, Ray, Reggie from 3 is crazy

Hes right there. Let me ask you something jf you told sugar ray, reggie and steph they could only shoot 2-3 threes a game and you had to shoot 40% doing so what do you think happens. Guys today shoot 2-3 a quarter.

Context matters.

What does JJ got against White Athletes? First he was shytting on Bob Cousy for playing against plumbers and now he is going after Bird. He seems jealous that the White legends are getting more play than him.

He's spent over half of his life hanging around nikkaz.

i think they would still be shooting better from 3 than bird did. you can’t prove that either of us is right because it never happened.

this is the problem with these hypothetical situations

 

[seemorecizzy]

larry bird is a better shooter than reggie miller and probably ray allen as well, who didn't become a real marksmen until later in his career.
yall wilding lol

 

[Doctor Doom]

JJ is right, but it would take away their Great White Hope, so dudes are mad af.

You limit any of those players to 3 3s a game and they'll shoot 50% for the season lol

If all they had to do is generate 2 to 3 shots at high percentages thatd be easy. Steph and them percentages would be through the moon. Them having to generate almost ten attempts with defenses keying in on them and still have good percentages tells you all you need to know.

Larry bird hasn't done what these other guys have done and he wasn't asked to. These guys are better three point shooters cause not only can they generate a decent percentage..they can generate a high volume. Ask yourself this. Who is a more deadly weapon from three. Larry bird or Steph? Then keep it moving cause the same argument can be made with two other people. So he's not top three.

shot 39% from 3 his rookie year

his worst year from the 3 was 35%, Birds was 21%

best year was 45% Birds was 42%

40% vs 37% over a career and thats with Ray shooting from 3 more

what exactly is the argument supposed to be for Bird > Ray from 3 other than Bird being born in the wrong generation?
