• Peja Stojakovic is still an elite three-point sniper

• A video of the 46-year-old drilling 10 consecutive threes is going viral

• Stojakovic pump-faked before every shot to maintain an enchanting rhythm

Peja Stojakovic’s game was years ahead of the era he was in. While he was a standout player during his era, he would be a star in today’s three-point shooting league with his size and accuracy. He can clearly still drain threes, as displayed in a viral clip shared by Lethal Shoter.

The Serbian shooter knocked down 1,760 career threes, which is good for 26th on the all-time list. He shot at 40% efficiency and averaged 5.5 attempts from three per game for his career. 

He was remarkably consistent from all around the arc, but his best percentages came when he was shooting from. He was incredible from both sides, shooting 42% from the left and 41.9% from the right. 


Peja Stojakovic Would Be A Modern-Day Great

Stojakovic made three All-Star teams and one All-NBA team in his career, but it’s hard to say he wouldn’t be a perennial All-Star and possibly All-NBA in the modern era. Teams would salivate over his transition scoring ability. 

Given the contracts the likes of Davis Bertans, Duncan Robinson, and Joe Harris have earned from efficient volume shooting over one season, Stojakovic would be a max-level player given his all-around skillset and size. 

Stojakovic signaled the winds of change in the NBA with a standout performance in one of his final NBA games. In the Western Conference Finals in 2011, Stojakovic went 6/6 from three against the Lakers in Game 4 to sweep them and go to the NBA Finals with the Mavericks. He won a title that season and retired with his head held high.
