Some of you guys are taking this way too seriously. So he puts his dad and his current coach on his all-time list, why wouldn't he show some confidence in himself and put himself on the list as well? I'm sure if he sat down and wrote out an actual list it wouldn't look like this, he was just answering an interview question off the top of the head.

Does JJ Reddick deserve a mention as a great pure shooter? also Ryan Anderson

All time for me are:

Bird
Miller
Allen
Mark Price

If you could have one player on your team for vet min right now who would you take Curry or Allen?

All 30 NBA GM's would take Curry. So how is Curry not better "today"?

I meant career achievement list, shooting records etc...

Err, I'd trust a food critic even if they're not a cook.

Also I have a cook friend who thinks everything is terrible when we eat out. But if your mom makes him a peanut butter sandwich, he'll think it's the most amazing thing ever. He is not to be trusted.

Uh.....what? S Curry had record # of made 3's while hitting at a real sweet %. Bird was special but never matched the % or the total 3's taken or made. Actually.. a guy nobody seems to mention ..Mark Price did have a good % and a good total of makes (not close to Curry but more than most names) Miller..Bird..Allen get respect ..in large part for a few clutch shots in prime time playoff games.
CENSORED... No comment.

His mechanics where perfect.


I'd say Curry had the best release I've ever seen but for overall mechanics I'd say Klay Thompson is the best I've ever watched.

I adore this video...I've watched it at least 10 times and still get a huge grin on my face. He has got to be included in any conversation about the best pure shooters ever.

Very good call...The Price is Right but a guy nobody seems to include in this conversation but desrves to be top 5 at least is Dennis Scott.

The rotation on his ball was all over the place but it was so sexy.
