First guy I thought of was Jason Richardson
 Elite dunker, above avg 3pt, could play impressive defense when motivated. Watched him make every shot in a 30 minute warm up including 28' shots. Zero misses.

Michael Finley.  He was over 40% on 3's several seasons.

From the pre-modern era where 3pt shooting wasn’t as emphasized as it is today, I think the names are Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Kobe, Tmac, Jrich, Shawn Marion, and Baron Davis. And if we relax the “dunk contest” criteria, I’d throw Manu Ginobili in there too.

If they played the game the way it is today, I think those guys would’ve been pretty prolific 3pt shooters since they likely would’ve trained different and had different shots available to them.

 Nobody said JR Smith. 40 inch vertical and could always knock down the three.
