(2,133 posts)and it is not even close. None of the other teams you mention had all the positions shoot well from long range. Robinson couldn't match Reed for shooting long distance. I love McHale but DeBuscherre could bomb from twenty( did you see Marv Albert saying in a recent interview say that DeBuscherre would have been a great 3 point shooter. Obviously Lucas is one of the greatest shooters of all time. Bradley, Monroe, and Frazier could all shoot. These guys were all bombers and no one else had anyone shoot that well from long distance from every position.
Also I heard JJ Reddick kind of mocking DeBuscherre as a top 50 player and I wrote in the youtube comments that not only was DeBuscherre one of the greatest players but he was also a way superior athlete to almost anyone he mentioned because he played 2 sports at the major league level. He pitched for the White Sox and had a sub 3.00 ERA. The Knicks ran a play for DeBuscherre to shoot from the top of the circle.
