🏀 THE EVOLUTION OF THE SHARP SHOOTER 🏀

Six decades. Six legends. One perfect form.

1960s – Jerry West
Mr. Clutch. Before the 3-point line, he was already stretching defenses with that pure, automatic jumper. Every shot looked like it came from a textbook.

1970s – “Pistol” Pete Maravich
Pistol Pete. Range, creativity, and swagger decades ahead of his time. Could score from anywhere, and made it look like streetball ballet.

1980s – Larry Bird
Larry Legend. Called his shots, humiliated defenders, and hit threes in faces before the league even valued the shot. Confidence of a king, touch of an artist.

1990s – Reggie Miller
The Knick Killer. The quickest release ever. Fed off the clutch moment like it was oxygen, and destroyed New York basketball in the process.

2000s – Ray Allen
Jesus Shuttlesworth. Perfect mechanics, endless stamina, and the ability to rip your heart out in the final seconds. Saved legacies with a single flick of the wrist.

2010s–2020s – Stephen Curry
The Baby-Faced Assassin. Changed the geometry of basketball. Pulled up from 30 like it was a layup. The game will never be the same.
