San Antonio has quietly become a haven for players seeking to improve their 3-point shooting.

Terry Porter, Antonio Daniels, Sean Elliott, Derek Anderson and Danny Ferry each has enjoyed a career-best season behind the line with the Spurs over the past two years.

Porter made a franchise-record 43.5 percent of his 3-pointers in his first season with the team (1999-2000) only to watch Ferry break it last season when he shot 44.9 percent. Ferry's reign might be just as brief. Steve Smith, a career 34.5 percent 3-point shooter entering the season, made a remarkable 22-of-30 threes (73.3 percent) in his first nine games with the Spurs.
