Philadelphia 76ers: Dana Barros

Next up we have Dana Barros, the player Korver and Curry jumped over to the top of the consecutive 3-pointers made list. Barros was a member of the Sixerss when his record-setting streak of 89 straight games with a made 3-pointer first began. Barros made a name for himself on the 76ers, being named to his lone All-Star team in 1995, even though his time in Philly only lasted two seasons.

He spent those two years in Philadelphia making himself into an All-Star type of talent. Barros shot 42.6 percent on 3-pointers in his two-year run with the 76ers. In his next stop with Boston, Barros would shoot 40.7 percent from 3-point range just .02 percentage points lower than future Hall-of-Famer Ray Allen. Allen also has been booted from his spot in Celtics lore and Barros is no Bird, so it felt more reasonable to give Barros some due love for his time in Philly.

Before Allen Iverson turned the NBA on his head with his style on and off the court, Barros was the original hard-nosed small guard scorer to don the Sixers’ red, white and blue.

The 1994-95 Most Improved Player finished in the top four of free throw percentage in back-to-back seasons from 1994-96. His 44.6 3-point field goal percentage in 1991-92 was tops in the NBA. Barros isn’t a name that is consistently brought up when great shooters are discussed, but he made his mark during his time in the NBA.
