All-Time Shooter

Steve Nash is commonly referred to as one of the greatest offensive point guards of all-time. Those unfamiliar with his work likely assume that this is due to his all-time facilitating and average scoring prowess.

Think again.

Not only is Nash a dangerous scorer, but he’s one of the most efficient shooters in NBA history.

Nash currently has the No. 1 career free throw percentage of all-time at .9043. Mark Price is the only other player with a career free throw percentage above 90 percent.

Nash is also No. 12 in career 3-point field goals made and No. 9 in career 3-point field goal percentage. He’s shot at least 40.0 percent from beyond the arc in 14 separate seasons.

If you’re ever building a fantasy H-O-R-S-E team, Nash should be one of the first names you select.
