Kenny Smith: TV Analyst, dunker but first of all the Shooter

Great TV Analyst and former slam dunk partecipant.
Most of the people I talk to remember Kenny "the Jet" Smith just for these two aspects of his game.

What they should know is that Smith was an incredible accurate shooter with career averages of 50% from 2Point range and 40% from deep.


Let's compare his career numbers with this season number from all the NBA players with at least 10 minutes played per game

Where is Ray Allen ranked among All-Time 3 point shooters?

After his retirement announcement letter, I was wondering "where" it could be possible ranking Ray Allen among NBA All-Time 3 point shooters.

So I decided to check two aspects of 3 point shooting: shots made and percentage.


DISCLAIMER
Using the Top250 lists of these categories, I combined them considering only the players who made both lists.

For example, Jason Kidd, with his 1988 3 point shots made, is not on the chart because his career 3 point percentage is not good enough to make the Top250 percentage list.

3 point shot trend (1980-2016)

Since the introduction of the 3 point shot, back in 1979/80 season, its percentage distribution changed over time.

Starting from just the 3,1 percent of the total field goal attempts, this percentage is still increasing nowdays (29,1%).

You could say: "Hey, what about the mid 90's peak"?
And I would say: "For just 3 seasons, the NBA decided to set the 3point line at 22 feet (no matter top of the key or corners) and so, the percentage of total field goal hit a spike".

You can notice as well that the accuracy of 3 point shot has definitely improved through time (orange to blue): around 25% in the early 80's opposed to a "stable" 35+ % since late 90's

No country for "Big" men

Maybe it's too early in the NBA season but if you look at the top50 scorers right now (at most 3 games), 47 of them have already attempted a 3 point shot.

Just 3 of them, Valanciunas, Whiteside and Nurkic are playing like old school Big men.
