And remember, his first 3 to 4 years in the NBA were with the Dallas Mavericks where they played him out of position for the majority of his time in Dallas. Dale didnt explode until he arrived in Seattle.
One of the purest jump shooters since....Ray Allen. I modeled my jumper after Dale Ellis. Ellis, Tom Chambers and Xavier McDaniels all averaged 20 ppg, great team until they faced the Lakers. Ellis was one of my favorite players.
Game 4 - smh as a fan of the Sonics. I remember the Sonics going up early by 29 points on the Lakers before the Lakers walked them down and completed the series sweep.
Great Video I have debates all the time with younger NBA fans who don't know who he is and when I mention the fact that he is the first NBA player to reach 1000 3 point baskets made , lets just say some try and dismiss that fact. when you know you know
So Ellis was the first guy to hit 1000 3pters, Larry Bird only hit 649 total in the regular season! The guy with the 50th most 3pters made is Mike Dunleavy Jr with 1304! Shows you how much more the 3pt is in the NBA game today v. back then
Some players shot too much, looking at you Allen Iverson, but Ellis should have shot the ball more. 40% career three pt shooter who could create his own shot.
That jumper was sooooooo pure... those battles with MJ were classic

That ‘87 team was nasty. They just had the misfortune of running into the juggernaut Lakers.

Very Underrated!!!!
Dale's touch was fast, fluid, and soft as silk. Great three point jumpshot!
He would have been in HOF if had not been such a hardcore alcoholic. He was a very good player.

Purest, sweetest jump shooter ever. Period. Case closed!
Not the best. However, he was extremely underrated. He was up there, but not the best.
Nope.
@@caleb6373 Yep did it when hand checking was legal.
Great video.
Can anyone reminds of Dale Ellis on NBA's today?
Maybe Khris Middleton
