    Ummm, this one. Mike Miller is a 41% career 3 point shooter that shoots them often. So who is better wise guy?

    Of the top 50 three point shooters (as far as total makes) of all time, only 3 have a higher percentage than Mike Miller:

    Steve Nash
    Dana Barros
    Wesley Person

    So objectively, I would have to say that only Steve Nash is currently a better option.

    Well right now I'd pass it to the 3 other guys on his team who are shooting better than he is from the 3 point line.

    Then:

    Matt Bonner
    Ray Allen
    Daniel Gibson
    Kyle Korver and about the other 30 players who are shooting better than he is.

    Ehhh, you could say that, but he has only taken 62 attempts this season so far. His career marks are more indicative of his skills. I can't argue with passing to the other couple guys on his team, as they are shooting very well this year, obviously. Nonetheless, a wide open Mike Miller is a better than 50% proposition. Good move, LBJ.

    Therein lies the problem. Miller just came back from injury, he's not even close to shooting the ball well from 3 pt range. Why give it to him?

    He is statistically a little more likely to get it in than LeBron is, at this stage.

    39% is an awesome 3pt%. Not sure why you think he is sucking it up in that area. It's still slightly (2%) less than his career mark, although significantly less than what he did last season. The fact that he is just barely shooting it better than LBJ at 39% just speaks to how well LBJ is shooting it. I would bet the NBA average is more like 31% and for people that actually shoot many 3 pointers, maybe like 34-35%.
