Is that a bird ? nope its Miller.

Jordan and Wilkins were great dunkers and they always got the crowd hype when they seen either Jordan doing his free-throw line special, The air Jordan or Wilkins dunking with a windmills or under the legs and is super high in the sky .but there is also something else that people love to see and that is the shots. The NBA has great shooters but only two I think was the best in the league and they are Mr. Larry Bird and Mr. Reggie Miller.

Larry bird, born December 7th, 1986, was a major dynamic player for the Boston Celtics.
He played with personified hustle, consistency and excellence in all areas of play for example he played as a scorer, a passer, a rebounder, a defender and, perhaps above all he was a clutch performer. He was also such a deadly shooter that he sometimes he would practice three-pointers with his eyes closed. With a career state three-point average of .376, assist of 5,695, and points of 21,791, Mr. Larry Bird does deserve to be called Larry Legend.
Larry bird wasn’t the only great shooter to enter the NBA; we had another super shooting dynamic player that could shoot shots like he was going crazy, his name is Reggie miller.
Reggie miller, from the off guard position was A volatile, high-voltage scorer  with 2,560 made three-pointers, ended his career as the NBA's greatest long range shooter. Reggie made the Indiana pacers reached the NBA Playoffs in 1990 for the first time during career. Miller, playoff performance moments heroics has defined his fine career with career stats for assist 4,141, 3-points percentage .395% ,and points 25,279 Reggie do deserve  to be in the NBA Hall Of Fame.
Now here the big question who was the better shooter? For me I will have to go with Reggie miller wasn’t also just a 3 point shooter he could have made a shot and walk down court know it going in he just had a pure jump shot that people could not stop. Now I’m going to ask you guys who were a better shooter?

Michael Jordan vs. Dominique Wilkins

We can start with two of the greatest dunkers and all-around players to ever enter the game: Michael Jordan vs. Dominique Wilkins.

Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins were indeed two of the best players to enter the game of basketball. Both had the crossover, moves that on the court made other player’s groove, dunks that made the crowd go super wild and crazy, and they both were the captains and leaders for their teams. They also had a sort of competition against each other too.  For example, these two guys went head to head in the dunk contest of the 97 and 88 time periods. “Who came out on top?” Is what you might be thinking, right? It was Mr. Air Jordan doing his special move, jumping from half court and air jordaning it in to the basket.  As always Michael and Dominique was always a trill to watch during regular session game especially rivalry games Michael who had career stats of 32,292 points with 30.1 per game and Dominique Wilkins who had 7,169 rebounds for his career stats and 25 points a game. Both of them were good and incredible players but one stood out the best. If you ask me who stood up on top I would go with Mr. Air Jordan and I didn’t pick him because people said he is the greatest basketball player, I picked. Jordan because of all the achievements and how he practice hard, build his own shoes empire, went out and made videos on helping people to get better in their game and  was one of the 12 players to score over 25,000 point in their nba career. Plus name any basketball player who can go play baseball and wasn’t that good but the fans, teammates, and his coach still supported him. Don’t get me wrong doe I still liked Dominique Wilkin because he wasn’t just a great dunker he also was a great team leaders, was instrumental to the Hawks' success in the late 1980s as the club recorded 50 wins in four straight seasons from 1985-86 to 1988-89.also he had set an a NBA record by sinking 23 free throws without a miss. Also last but not least like Jordan was one of the 12 players to score over 25,000 point in their NBA career. Now I want to know from you guys who you think was better?
