Miller also made five All-Star games and was a three-time All-NBA team selection. In addition to his three-point scoring ability, Miller was an excellent free-throw shooter (88.8 career FT percentage) and led the league in free-throw percentage five times. Miller finished his career with the 2nd-most career three-pointers and shot just under 40 percent from three for his career (39.5%). Like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller’s calling card was his shooting ability. Allen was also a significant part of some terrific Celtic teams and won two NBA Championships in his 19-year career. The Celtic legend was a ten-time All-Star made the All-Rookie team in 1996 and was a two-time All-NBA Team selection. The three-point king finished his career 24th on the all-time scoring list. In the conversation for the best shooter of all-time (along with Steph Curry), Allen ranks first all-time in career three-pointers and shot 40 percent from behind the arc in his career. In addition to his scoring, Harden is an excellent playmaker, as he led the league in assists in 2016 and has six consecutive seasons of seven or more assists per game.

The 2011 Sixth Man of the Year has made the transition from a rotation player to superstar in less than a decade, and Harden’s dominance was on full display during the 2017-18 season when he won the MVP award. The two-time scoring champ has had three consecutive seasons averaging at least thirty points, all more than the players ranked ahead of him on my list. Without some of the hardware as his fellow shooting guards, Harden has been one of the best scorers in the league for the past five seasons. The future Hall of Famer also made eight All-NBA teams, three All-Defensive teams, and was the Finals MVP during the 2005 NBA season. Wade made thirteen All-Star appearances and even was awarded ASG MVP honors in 2009. The Miami Heat legend changed the culture of the franchise and brought them three championships during his 17-year career. One of the more exciting players of his generation, The Flash, as Wade was known as, was a terrific two-way guard. The Hall of Famer also won an NBA championship with the Lakers in 1971 and is the only player in NBA history to win Finals MVP for the losing team (1968). Not just a prolific scorer, West was a great passer, highlighted by his 6.7-assist average and assist title during the 1971 season. The 14-time All-Star was also a terrific defender, as he made five All-Defensive Team selections and averaged 2.6 steals per game. West’s 27-point career scoring average helped him end his career with the 22nd-most points in league history as well as one scoring title. West’s greatness speaks volumes, as he is the NBA logo and one of the best scorers in NBA history. During his five title runs with the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant won Finals MVP twice and finished his career with two scoring titles as well. Bryant ended his career with 18-time All-Star appearances, 15 All-NBA Team selections, 12-time All-Defensive selections, and five championship rings. He finished his twenty-year career with the 4th-most points in NBA history (1 spot ahead of Jordan) and displayed a drive unlike any other player in history. Much like Jordan, we will never see anything like Kobe Bryant again. He mirrored Jordan’s mechanics, “stole” his post moves, and replicated his demeanor and work ethic. With Jordan ranked number one, Kobe Bryant is the closest thing we’ve ever seen compared to the Chicago Bull’s legend.
Michael Jordan is head-and-shoulders above every player on my list, and pretty much the rest of the NBA. Jordan won just about every individual award possible, as he also won ROY in 1984 and Defensive Player of the Year during the 1987 season. Jordan’s career scoring average of 30.1 points per game tops my list, and he was a ten-time scoring champion during his career. Among Jordan’s legendary accolades are five MVP trophies, six championship rings, and six Finals MVPs. This is the easiest pick by far on my list, as Jordan is undoubtedly the greatest shooting guard that has ever set foot on a basketball court.
