There are many players in the NBA who rely on their sheer athleticism to dismantle their opponents. Watching those highlights definitely hypes the fans. But the true beauty of the game is realized after watching players drain buckets with a beautiful jump shot.
To make things even better, how about a pull-up jumper? It is certainly an amazing sight for the eyes to watch those shots go in. There are a few players in the NBA who simply have a stunning pull-up jumper in their arsenal.
The names of Tracy McGrady, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony are some of the first that comes to mind when we talk about it. All there are insane scorers and on their day they can rack up points with ease.
But even among these three NBA stars, who has the best pull-up jumper? Well, the popular Twitter account Hoop Central asked this very question recently.

Tracy it looked the coolest.with the back downs and banggggs like Kobe and all them. Melo got the best find your spot shot I’ve ever seen. Durant is the best shooter I’ve ever seen. Ranking is hard.

Like. My heart and eyes tell me is no doubt Melo, but I tell you what. T-Mac had an absolute quick draw at his size and clutch. Gun to my head… Melo 🫡

It depends on who has the most points scored with that pull up jumpshot 🤔

After looking at the comments, most fans believe that T-Mac’s pull-up jumper actually looks the best, as it was very fluid and a treat for the eyes. But when it comes to being most efficient, the crown goes to Kevin Durant.
A huge reason for that is the fact that due to KD’s height, it is very hard for players to stop it. Moreover, KD has had that skill in his bag even before coming to the league.
It is not a surprise here since KD is regarded as one of the best shooters and scorers of all-time. And you cannot be on that list without having a sweet pull-up jumper.
