Of all time, it's gotta be Larry Bird. He shot 3-pointers with incredible ease. Bird was a set-shooter but his huge hands and thick powerful wrists just made everything look so easy for him. Just a quick look at the basket and he'd bury the shot. Most of all, Bird was consistent and his unmatched confidence allowed him to sink those 3's at will, especially at crunch time. And don't forget, he won 3 consecutive 3-point contests in the 80's. Could've won more had his back allowed him to compete every year.
Today, I'd go for Robert Horry simply because he bury those 3's at the right moment, that is, when his team need 'em most. And like Bird, he also shoots quickly and with ease.

Here's my top 5 best active NBA 3-point shooter now:
(Not in order)
1. Peja Stojakovic (the best European pure shooter to ever play in the NBA)
2. Kyle Korver (He is the gun-slinger from Philly)
3. Jason Kapono (he is the reigning NBA 3-point champ)
4. Ray Allen (he was there for the big shots, one of the silkiest shooter who ever play NBA ball)
5. Gilbert Arenas (he's not afraid to take the 3-point shot, wherever, whatever)
Other for consideration:
Mike Bibby, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Stephen Jackson, Manu Ginobili, Ben Gordon, Chauncey Billups

Jason Kapono had the best three-point shooting percentage and also won the Three-point shootout in the All-Star game, so I think it's Jason Kapono.
But in clutch three-point shooting, I think its Kobe. Look at how many times he saved the Lakers with a clutch three.

My all time favorite is Dale Ellis.
Currently, Bruce Bowen (who led the NBA in 3 point shooting back in 2005 when the Spurs won the title)
