Recent NBA history has made one thing very clear to any Boston Celtics fan or general basketball fan that has followed this wonderful sport: you will not win a championship if you cannot shoot the basketball. Dating back to the 2011-12 season (the first true season of small-ball as a result of Erik Spoelstra’s Miami Heat), there has not been an NBA champion that lacked 3-point shooting.
The San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors featured two long-range marksmen in Kawhi Leonard (career 38%) and Danny Green (40%) that always seemed to hit the big-3 at the most opportune times.
