Stephen Jackson was quite the competitor during his time in the NBA. He had quite the journeyman career, but during some stops, he made an impact. He emerged as a star for the Warriors from 2007-10, showcasing his knack for making 3-pointers.

Jackson currently ranks 10th all-time on the Warriors 3-point makes list with 355 3-pointers. He averaged 19.4 points, 5.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds during his time in Golden State, while shooting 34.8 percent from 3-point land. As a staple in the starting rotation, he made over 100 3-pointers in consecutive seasons for Golden State.

During the 2007-08 season, Jackson drained a career-high 182 3-pointers on 36.3 percent shooting. With great touch from behind the arc, Jackson was responsible for some excellent performances with the Warriors.

He made at least six 3-pointers in four games during that year, all in victories. He shot 50 percent or better in all four contests including going 54.5 percent in three of the four games.

He put up a season-high 41 points on 4-of-9 (44.4 percent) shooting from behind the arc, in a close 120-117 victory over the Washington Wizards back on Feb. 11, 2008. While his stint was short, Jackson had quite the productive seasons with Golden State.

Shooting from the 3-point line wasn’t quite as popular back when Jackson played as it is now. If it was, Jackson would probably have made many more 3-pointers as well.
