Reggie Miller Says He Was a Better Shooter Than Steph Curry Is

First off, HA!  Reggie Miller is still probably a top-5 shooter of all time, an all time great trash talker, and I don't mind the guy, but let's all stop the bullshit right now, Wardell Stephen Curry II is the best shooter to ever step foot on an NBA floor no question.  Let's stop with the "he's great, but he has done it as long as" Ray Allen or Reggie, or Steve Kerr, or whoever.  I mean come on, he's done it his whole career, 7 years.  He's a career 44.2% 3 point shooter (46% so far this year).  40% is considered great, Steph has never shot lower than 42% in a year.  Reggie Miller was a career 39.5% 3 point shooter and his career high percentage for a season was 42.9% in 97-98.  Miller was primarily catch and shoot, Steph creates a lot of his own shots, which is a harder shot generally.  Ray Allen was a career 40% 3 point shooter, his career high for a season was 45.3% in 2011-12.  Ray another catch and shoot guy.  I mean come on Reg, its bad enough you spend half your breath on TNT sounding like a moron but now you can't get past yourself and give credit where credit is due?  I'm not writing this as a Steph fanboy or whatever, it's simply a fact, all I want is for one of these legends to man up and just admit that yeah, Steph is ridiculous and he is in fact a better shooter than I ever was.  C'mon Reg, you at your peak?  You at your peak was as good as Steph in his worst shooting season to this point, the numbers are there.  Didn't at some point Steve Kerr, who was as good a 3 point shooter as there has been in the Association, admit that Steph is the best shooter he has ever seen? Oh that's right, he did. (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/19/sports/basketball/warriors-steve-kerr-and-stephen-curry-share-a-bond-beyond-the-arc.html?_r=0 it's right away he admits it)  Wait, didn't Kerr also play agains Miller and Allen and these other names that get thrown in there?  Yes, he did.  Now some people want to argue that there's more to a shooter than 3 point shooting, I agree with that.  Free throw shooting? He shoots 90% for his career, which is incredible.  Overall field goal percentage? 47.5%, also very good.  This season which has so far been easily his best, he shoots 61% inside the arc (52% overall) including 73.7% in close, which is better than most big guys.  So not only can he hit shots from 30 feet, break everyone's ankles, put 15 moves on you then step back and drill a 3 in your face, but he can get to the rack and finish better than nearly everyone.  I can sit here and continue to throw out stats, but just ask yourself when have you ever see Reggie Miller do this?

Now please, let's all get over ourselves and admit he's the best shooter ever.
