| 0:00.0 | Derek, welcome to the show. Of course, Derek Devon, here live from the Xfinity Lounge, |
| 0:04.9 | presented by Rothman Orthopedics, and our good buddy from the All-City Network, a native of the |
| 0:13.9 | area, of course, Tim Legler, also part of ESPN, reportedly going to be one of the lead guys on the broadcast with Mike |
| 0:23.3 | Green and Richard Jefferson. |
| 0:25.4 | So hat tip to him. |
| 0:26.7 | Also, we can't forget about he's going to be on the call for 2K26 as well. |
| 0:32.3 | So big stuff for Tim Legler, one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA during the time that he played, |
| 0:38.8 | and he's a LaSalle grad as well. With that, we figured, let's talk about the best three-point |
| 0:45.4 | shooters in Sixers' history, because while he did not play, the local ties are there. So, Derek, |
| 0:52.8 | let's talk about the best guys in Sixers history, |
| 0:55.8 | three-point shooting like Tim Legler. By the way, Tim Legler, not too shabby in the 95-96 season, |
| 1:03.8 | 52% from three-point range in 77 games for the Washington Wizards. Also won a three point title at All Star Weekend as well. |
| 1:13.6 | So let's run through a few. |
| 1:15.9 | Who's your first one that comes to mind? |
| 1:17.7 | So I'm not like I don't know. |
| 1:19.7 | This is a tough one to rank in part because obviously a three point shot has become |
| 1:24.1 | way more prevalent in today's game. |
| 1:25.8 | So not only are you allowed to take more, |
| 1:25.6 | like if you would shoot 10 threes per game in the early 2000s, Larry Brown would have had you on the bench so quickly. You wouldn't even know what to do. No doubt. But also you just work on it way more. Like Joelle and Bede 25 years ago would have never been like, hey, big man, why don't you go work on that three-pointer, they just wouldn't have tolerated it. |
| 1:27.2 | So there's a lot better shooters now. |
| 1:44.3 | So I like to have tolerated it. |
| 1:43.3 | So there's a lot better shooters now. So I like to try to frame things in the era that they played. So the first place I'm going to go is Kyle Corver. Perfect. A guy who was shooting 43, 44% from three-point range. Was that around the coach at that time? I mean, look, if you're going to play Kyle. No, I'm just asking. |
