Steph Curry rains threes on court, ends California drought

I don't think anyone will make 270 threes at 45% for a long time, other than Steph Curry.

but yes someone could be healthier than curry and get more total three pointers made but I don't care about that record as much. Percentage matters!

what Klay is doing is totally rad and puts him in company of some of the all-time greats, but Curry is just beyond all historical norms in an unusual way for a sport as old as basketball.

how about that Jason Richardson season btw

J rich was awesome. Top 5 warrior

I think he's one of the most underrated players of the past 15 years or so. Underrated dunk contest champion too.

Kinda wild that Korver's best season there was ten years ago.

this is still his best season tho, 49% and all. Sucks he couldn't hold on to 50+.

if you sort by percentage there the only guy close is Glen Rice with that BS short 3pt line.

I genuinely do not remember George McCloud.

i remember him but the 1989 nba draft came at the height of my bball fandom as a kid so i remember those prospects way more than i should. was genuinely convinced sherman douglas was going to be a future all star.

I'm sure I saw him play a lot. Not ringing a bell though.

I watched a Twolves-Nuggets game and a guy fell on McCloud, and the announcer said "hey, you, get off of McCloud!" Main George McCloud memory for me.

the crazy thing about curry is how difficult the threes he take are, hes out there playing a different game than everyone else

yeah, korver and allen would take difficult 3s off screens but Curry is shooting like 40% on stepbacks

I KNOW YOUR TRUE IDENTITY, LAGOON.

[Former Warriors GM Larry] Riley, however, didn't need a workout since he was already high on Curry after seeing him play against Purdue early in his junior season. Riley liked him even more during a predraft camp interview, ranked him the second-best player behind Griffin and likened him to two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash.

it looks like Curry will be the greatest 3 point shooter of all time.

His dad made him dramatically change his shooting form in high school which partly accounts for his poor recruiting ranking in HS. Also means his dad is a genius of some sort.

Yes

feel like everyone prob remakes their shot in high school / its not that big of a deal, like in that video of him at 14 hes just not strong enough to have an adult high release, his release is still on the low side tbh which is pretty amazing considering how well he gets it off in tight spaces

like he was still scoring 50 pts in games i dont think the shot doctoring held him back much

look at the flick of that wrist

where are you getting these post shot doc HS splits

i just have an encyclopedic knowledge of of possibly made up or maybe read one time steph facts, anyway i contend that my assertion is true that theres really no such thing as "rebuilding yr shot" in high school since p much everyones shot is still very much in the process of being built in the first place at that point yr body is still growing changing etc

like what % of serious ballers enter high school at 13 with essentially the same shot as they exit at 18

Lebron Jr.

benefit of granny style is that you can keep it cradle to grave

btw feel like ive noticed an unusual motion in both steph and even more so klays shot, seems like they both start with the ball a little lower and more in front of them than is typical then they generate a lot of force pushing their whole arm up from the shoulder making their forearm look like a piston going straight up, where a normal shot wld start a little higher and have more force provided by straightening out the elbow, wonder if that comes from a warriors coach or if they rubbed off on each other or its just a coincidence or im just imagining it or what

The Steph way def feels more 'accurate' to me when I play

Maybe Steph has One Weird Trick

“They should put the basket in a casket”

better than dame dolla

If only because Tobe wrote his verse...

This was the closing credits song in his Underrated documentary, which aside from some cuet young Steph footage was remarkably dull.

Makes sense. Except for his supernatural athletic prowess, Steph is too normal a human being to make a thrilling documentary subject.

That's certainly part of it but it was also poorly edited, almost every interviewee spoke lethargically, and it really could've used an NFLFilms-style hypeman narrator.

didn't see it but trying and failing to imagine dray speaking lethargically... assuming he's the exception to the almost

It's mostly about his college days so none of his NBA teammates are interviewed, though dray does have a small cameo.

always innovating
