16. Mike Miller

Mike Miller cemented his legacy as an all-time shooter during the 2012 and 2013 NBA Finals. He didn’t always make a splash when he entered a game, but when he did, he was absolutely unstoppable from beyond the arc—bad back and all.

Miller secured his spot amongst the shooting greats with seven 3-point field goals made in the decisive Game 5 of the 2012  NBA Finals.

According to Basketball-Reference.com, Miller is one of seven players in NBA history to make at least 1,500 career 3-point field goals and maintain a shooting percentage above 40.0 percent. That alone warrants consideration for a spot on this list.

With his consistency matching the image of his numbers, Miller deserves a spot.

It doesn’t appear as though Miller will be adding much more to his tally, but his career has already been rich. He’s won championships and awards, and that’s more than one can ask of a player.

Top 20 in both 3-point field goals made and 3-point field goal percentage, Miller is a true sharpshooter.
