Most memorable Raptor 3 for me: Wizards try to run out the clock by throwing the ball straight up in the air...except it lands in Mo Pete's hands... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNJXjJKbvdQ[/VIDEO]
Mo Pete and Anthony Parker are definitely some of my fav Raptors shooters. I was almost surprised AP wasn't near the top of this list. But back in the days when I first started watching basketball, I remember the arc on Dell Curry's shot being ridiculous.
I've heard your user name before but can't place it. Either Game of thrones, wheel of time, or something from Salvatore's books on Drizzt?

I remember this. If you watch the replay of the game winning layup that was reviewed and denied, you will see that the clock actually started before it touched any of his hands. It was like .2 seconds when he finally caught the ball, versus the .5 seconds they were supposed to have.
Think about it this way: A shooter from 3 point can get it off after a pass in less than .5
A layup in .5 would be a double clutch layup, or a very very slow move.
In all seriousness though Mo Pete, love that man! Ross is becoming just as sweet of a 3PT shooter though. Ross has a pretty Ray Allen-esque shooting stroke, really a joy to watch. My favourite Raptors period of 3 point shooting was when Mo, Jalen and Donyell were on the floor together... and you can throw Parker in the mix too.
