2. Kyle Korver, Atlanta Hawks

3PT FGM: 2.6/G

3PT FG%: .472

FT%: .926

Mid-Range FG%: .472

True Shooting %: .653

That shot chart shouldn’t be legal.

In 2013-14, Kyle Korver of the Atlanta Hawks led the league by converting 47.2 percent of his 3-point field goals. The scariest thing about that feat is that his mark of 47.2 percent wasn’t his career-best.

That would be 53.6 percent in 2009-10.

In the process of leading the league, Korver set an NBA record by making at least one 3-pointer in 127 consecutive games.

Korver also shot 92.6 percent from the free throw line and 45.7 percent on mid-range jumpers.

The result: a true shooting percentage of .653 and his claim to fame as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.
