NBA history in the center shot accurate but not good at three-point point guard?

Three-point shooting is becoming more and more important to this league today, and regardless of position if you can't shoot a three-point shot, your value immediately drops quite a bit, even for interior players, except of course for the talented ones like Simmons. Big players who can't shoot threes are perceived as unable to space the floor, making it difficult to get a big contract unless they're particularly good at something else.

There are teams in the NBA now that make more 3-pointers than 2-pointers per game. But the NBA of the past is not like this, the philosophy of the coaches of the teams at that time was that they could shoot two points, not three points, because two-point shots are more certain, three-point shots are only as a complementary means of offense, especially point guards, and many of the stars at that time practiced a handful of excellent mid-range shooting. Here we go together to see what stars guards are to mid-range shooting as the main means of offense?

1st: Richard Hamilton

He is the Pistons 04 championships, the best is to run without the ball, his father is a track and field athletes, he inherited his father's excellent genes, when watching the Pistons play, Hamilton scampered around the field, using the cover often run out of space from the comfort of the shot. Kobe once said, he hated the defense is Hamilton. Because he can run too much. Hamilton did not have the same three-point work as Reggie LeBeau, career three-point field goal average 1.7 times, hit 0.6, but his no-ball running than Reggie LeBeau more active, more difficult to defend.

2nd Michael Jordan

When you watch the highlights, you feel that Jordan's breakthrough dunk dashing and floating weight, as if he can easily kill the inside score. But in fact, Jordan's most stable means of scoring or mid-range shooting, especially late career developed a backward jumper, very difficult to defend.96-97 season, Jordan averaged 14.7 times in the mid-range, hit 7.2, the number of shots and hits are the first in the league, the mid-range hitting rate of 48.9.%. Jordan didn't make many 3-pointers his entire career, averaging just 1.7 per game on 32.7 percent shooting.

No. 3: DeRozan

DeRozan can be said to be the league's last traditional scoring guard, his offensive means are mainly concentrated in the singles after the mid-range shooting, in this era of small-ball, but not good at three-point shooting, which makes DeRozan look very different, his career three-point shooting rate of only 28.3%. His best season of mid-range shooting averaged 10.1 mid-range attempts, hitting 4.2 balls, which was already ranked first in the league at the time, but significantly worse than Jordan that year.

Additionally, in the 90's there is a nicknamed the king of the mid-range players, he is the Knicks Alan Houston, he used to be one of the New York double shot, he was in the mid-range posture beautiful, high accuracy, once twice selected for the All-Star lineup, scoring mainly by the mid-range shooting. But his three-point shooting is much better compared to the above.
