Ok, I'll join in with my 2 cents. Everyone will be from the mid 80's on, because of my age group and who I've actually see play.

JS: Larry Bird - I've seen a lot of people post MJ here, but watch some youtube clips of Bird.
JR: Reggie Miller
OD: Gary Payton - "The Glove"
HA: John Stockton
PA: Magic - flashier than Stockton.
DR: Jordan - Once again, watch some youtube clips, I know LeBron is a popular pick here, but when Jordan wanted to go to the basket, he went. LeBron is still not at that level.
ID: Hakeem Olajouwon (I'm sure I spelled that wrong)
RB: Dennis Rodman
IS: Kevin McHale / Kareem - while Shaq dominated on pure size and strength, Kareem's sky hook was a thing of beauty, and no one, I mean no one i've ever seen had more wierd, screwy post up moves than McHale.
SB: Hakeem again
FS: Larry Bird
ST: Isiah Thomas
Exp: Jordan / Kareem & Robert Parish - the game appears to give weight in experience to playoffs - hence Jordan. For pure games played, Kareem and Parish who booth played into there 40's.

Because we are showing just how old we are by even knowing who you are talking about! serious though, do you think his Range was better than Reggie Miller's?

I'd go with Wilt Chamberlain here.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Without a moments hesitation. I wouldn't call him a better shooter than Miller, but if you are old enough, you should remember his steady stream of weekly half court buzzerbeaters. Reggie rarely shot from a deep as Person. Hell Person would spot up 5 feet back from the 3-point line with 12 seconds still on the shot clock.

Michael Jordan was NOT a good shooter, he was a great scorer, that's different. In basketball, there's shooters and scorers.

Damn...dude you must be joking...Jordan was one of the greatest mid-range shooters ever....
Imho there are very few great mid-range shooters now in nba like Hamilton,Nowitzki etc...
