Makes the Top 15 all-time NBA Shooter list from CBSSpotrs.

13. Mark Price
A tremendous all-around point guard who was ahead of his time in terms of his style of play, Price has the third-best career free-throw percentage in NBA history (90.4), and shot 40.2 percent from 3-point range during his 12-year career. One thing that separated Price from his sweet-shooting contemporaries was his ability to hit jumpers off the dribble, even from 3-point range. When his feet were still, however, you could forget about it. He showcased his shooting supremacy by winning back-to-back 3-point contests in 1993 and 1994.

If Price were just a spot-up shooter he might have made this list anyway, but the fact that he was a complete player with four All-NBA selections, including a first-team in 1993, makes his accomplishments as a shooter even more noteworthy. This wasn't a guy standing in the corner waiting for wide-open looks -- he was creating those looks himself, usually under duress, and knocking them down with proficiency. --

Considering who isn’t on that list, not only is it hallowed company, but he edged out some amazing players.
I can see people arguing the order of the list, but it’s hard to knock most of them off the list.
