I hate to tell you this, but all of those players have made at least a shot from beyond the arc. Seeing as it would be hard to find anybody who didnt make "one shot from behind the arc", i think i will say  Wilt Chamberlain .

Rawlings' RSS Seam-Sealed basketball was introduced in 1948 and has been a best seller ever since.  Laced basketballs were still on the market at this time but were declining in popularity.\n\nThe rules on the construction of the ball were changed in 1949 to require a ball with leather cover of the molded type in which the leather panels were not stitched together, but "cemented to the spherically molded fabric which surrounds on air-tight rubber lining."\n\nSo in a nutshell rules prohibited the use of laced basketballs in 1949.

Air Jordan I (1)\n\nReleased in 1985, the Air Jordan I is considered to be a turning point in basketball shoe design. The Air Jordan I takes its form after an earlier shoe by Nike - the Nike Dunk. Designed by Peter Moore, this shoe gained much of its initial publicity and interest by being banned by the National Basketball Association. The league stipulated that the black and red shoe violated its color rules. Seeing the success of this model, many shoe companies scrambled to emulate the design. Many smaller companies even pirated knock-offs.\n\nOriginal Jordans came with two sets of laces, one for each color on the "colorway" of the shoe. For example, the red/black shoe came with red laces and black laces. Including "sample" designs, twenty-three different "colorways" were created.\n\nIn 1994, the white/black-red and black/red colorways were retroed and sold very poorly. Many went on sale for as low as $20 in stores. When the I's were retroed again in 2001, they sold out instantly.

Dr. James Naismith, Inventor of Basketball\nKU Basketball Program Founder\n \nDr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. He was born in 1861 in Ramsay township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith's school days in the area where he played a simple child's game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. \n\nAfter serving as McGill's Athletic Director, James Naismith moved on to the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, where the sport of basketball was born. In Springfield, Naismith was faced with the problem of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the Massachusetts winter for the students at the School for Christian Workers. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill for the students instead of one that relied solely on strength. He needed a game that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The first game was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals.\n\nJames Naismith devised a set of thirteen rules of basketball: \n\nThe ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. \nThe ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist. \nA player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man running at good speed. \nThe ball must be held in or between the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. \nNo shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed. \nA foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and such as described in Rule 5. \nIf either side make three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). \nGoal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the ground into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edge and the opponents move the basket, it shall count as a goal. \nWhen the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them. \nThe umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have the power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. \nThe referee shall be the judge of the ball and decide when it is in play in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. \nThe time shall be two 15-minute halves with five minutes' rest between. \nThe side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winners. \nIn addition to the creation of the basketball, James Naismith graduated as a medical doctor, primarily interested in sports physiology and what we would today call sports science and as Presbyterian minister, with a keen interest in philosophy and clean living. Naismith watched his sport, basketball, introduced in many nations by the YMCA movement as early as 1893. Basketball was introduced at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Today basketball h

James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891. James Naismith  was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at McGill University and Presbyterian Cllege in Montreal. He was the physical education teacher at McGill University (1887 to 1890) and at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to 1895). At Springfield College (which was then the Y.M.C.A. training school), James Naismith, under the direction of American phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor sport of basketball. \n\nThe first formal rules were devised in 1892. Initially, players dribbled a soccer ball up and down a court of unspecified dimensions. Points were earned by landing the ball in a peach basket. Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket were introduced in 1893. Another decade passed, however, before the innovation of open-ended nets put an end to the practice of manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was scored. \n\nIn 1959, James Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame (called the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.)
