There is, however, a difference between no-pressure practice shots vs. actual shots in game when you have to run around or have defenses targeting you.

No, 36-39% implies that he hovered somewhere around 37.5%, so your point is more than just a decimal point off. ...

heh... just because you view it the way you do doesn't mean the statement implies what you infer.

That video, on your horrendous youtube channel, isn't even from his high school days.

Anyone know why curry is struggling in fiba, thought he would dominate with a shorter 3 p line

He's shooting 50 percent, and that's after an oh-fer against Finland in the opener. Take that away -- one game -- and he's like 60 percent. He was great today, 6 for 9.

Curry now 16-32 (50%) on 3s. Klay is 14-35 (40%). The rest of the Team USA is 14-52 (27%) combined. 50% is struggling? :crazy:

Plus he's playing passively and trying to get other people shots.

He's clearly the best 3 pt shooter of all time. Not quite there mid-range wise, but he's still pretty fantastic there too.

Hopefully daddy gets him to come home before the end of his career.

Yea just check stats his 3% is really high in fiba

Yes he is. And barring injuries, he will be the GOAT shooter.

Reggie Miller has the 6th highest all-time True Shooting percentage, the highest for any guard. Everyone remembers him as a 3-point shooter, but it was actually his 18-foot catch-and-shoot-off-a-screen that was his bread and butter. That **** was money.

Absolutely.

The fact that this exact discussion takes place every season...probably means he is.

"Is Curry the best shooter?" "Yeah"

"How about now?" "Yep"

"And now?" "Still yes"

"Ok, but how bout now?" "Uh, yes."

Definitely. His ability to get hot is right up there too.
