The guy is insane :lol:

He and LeBron (another guy who has really extended his range) are the 2 biggest anomalies in the sport right now bar none.

It's good to see curry at the 2016 level

I think he means an NBA dunk contest not a middle school dunk contest.

And to think some people still believe he's not the best shooter to play the game. Insanity.

It seems all he needed to get back to 2016 level numbers was to take more attempts.

He's shooting way over his head, bet he's down to 25% by All-Star break...

Almost at 70% TS (69.3) which is some literal godmode efficiency considering the volume. Incredible.

If he really just take open the shots and difficult three, I wonder if he could shoot 60%

Sad thing is NBA is just making it easier for good shooter. But still gotta give credits. He's having incredible season.

Is that why Klay and KD are shooting a lot worse from 3?

He's the best "3pt / long distance" shooter to play the game. That's why he chooses to take more 3pa than 2pa. He doesn't take enough shots from various spots inside the arc to say he's the best "shooter" of all time.

It's pretty crazy where his efficiency stands up. He's doing this while putting up 30ppg. You have to drop down to 18.5ppg and 1982 by Artis Gilmore to find someone who was more efficient than Curry. No one in the history of the NBA has been a 20 point scorer and matched Curry's efficiency, let alone 30 points per game.
