Ben Gordon is the 9th best 3pt shooter in NBA shooter in NBA history if you go by 3pt FG%, 2nd only among active players to Steve Nash.

Jason Kapono doesn't qualify because he has too few scored/attempted or something? He's ahead of both.

No, he does qualify and hes 10th.

NBA.com
Kapono Career 3 pt % = .459 (not counting 2 for 4 in playoffs)
Gordon Career 3 pt % = .418 (not counting .390 mark in playoffs)
Nash Career 3 pt % = .426 (not counting .419 in playoffs)

so no matter which way you look at it (Reg Season only or add in playoffs) there is no way Nash leads in active 3 pt shooters unless there is a 3P Made requirement (Kapono only has 230). But since you said Kapono does qualify your info is not correct (unless NBA.com is wrong).

One of us is getting wrong info from a site. You may be right for all I know. I'm getting my info here:

Your website is only good to the START of last season. Your site says Ben Gordon has only played 2 years. He has played 3.
