Kyle Korver
He led the NBA in three pointers made (2004-5) and free throw percentage (2006-7)
Korver's journey to the NBA began at Creighton University, where he played college basketball and quickly established himself as a sharpshooter. His performance at Creighton earned him a spot in the 2003 NBA Draft, where he was selected in the second round by the New Jersey Nets and immediately traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. Over the course of his career, Korver became known for his ability to stretch the floor and create space for his teammates, a skill that was highly valued in the modern NBA. His time with the Atlanta Hawks was particularly notable, as he was named an NBA All-Star in 2015, a testament to his consistent excellence.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Korver's career was his ability to maintain an incredibly high level of shooting accuracy. In the 2009–10 season, while playing for the Utah Jazz, Korver set an NBA record by shooting 53.6 percent from three-point range, a mark that still stands as one of the best single-season performances in league history. He also led the NBA in three-point shooting percentage four times, a feat that no other player has accomplished. Korver's shooting mechanics and quick release made him a constant threat from deep, and his presence on the court often forced opposing defenses to adjust their strategies.
After retiring from professional basketball, Korver transitioned into a front-office role, becoming the assistant general manager for the Atlanta Hawks. His deep understanding of the game, combined with his experience as a player, has made him a valuable asset in his new role. Korver's legacy as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history is secure, and his contributions to the game will be remembered for years to come. His influence on the next generation of players, particularly those who specialize in three-point shooting, is undeniable.
