The purity of this man's shot makes each one a thing of exquisite beauty. That pic doesn't really show off that side of him, but it does highlight those big brown eyes, which are ok if you like that sort of thing.

I wonder if he's the Babe Ruth of 3 point shooting, if we'll have to wait 25 years for anyone to flirt with his records.

hard to say with all the 'new' focus on the three. Like Klay is already tracking ahead of where Steph was at this point in his career.

not really if you consider percentage.

Klay 768 through first four years
Steph 644 through first four years

assuming dame keeps pace next year he'll be hovering just above 800 through four years jeez

steph basically making about 30-40 more a season over klay tho so i guess it'll come down to health and longevity, but it could be close when all is said and done. dame def gonna be around too.

Kids Today want to do nothing else but shoot 3s and dribble fancy. Would be surprised if any 3's record lasted all that long.

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.

http://bkref.com/tiny/opapn

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.

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

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

btw this is like the best thread title

that beats his highlight reel from the entire championship series. got it done though.

steph was def quasi shook the whole playoffs if he cld maintain this sort of confidence it ld be bad for the other teams

yeah he would get a lil shook then turn it on for a quarter or two at a time, enough to win. nice having a great team.

feel like theres maybe some correlation between his distaste for drawing fouls and playoff D being more effective on him than it shdve been

really the only remaining hole in his offensive game since he started hitting his layups

yeah props xp, those hard double teams got him out of rhythm, and he wasn't getting the rinky dink calls he was getting throughout the year. which is good.

I'm more impressed with how few turnovers he has than anything so far.

Steph is all about perfecting his mechanics down to the last nuance. So is golf.

The bill Simmons pod with curry was good. He’s a fairly boring interview usually but he opened up a bit on that.

the amount hes good at golf is pretty wild like hes good enough to be an actual tour pro

and its not like hes devoting the time to it that actual tour pros do

he shd retire before hes totally cooked and become a big golf man

yeah you should listen to that podcast it was good, he says that if he could devote 2 years completely to his game he thinks he might have a shot at a tour card, who knows lol

if steph retires from hoops and becomes the next tiger he's the greatest athlete who ever lived

He didn't really do that well at the Sallie Mae. The cut was -4 and he finished at +17.

yeah he shot 71/86 i think lol. going pro would be very hard, almost impossible, at his age. Unless like he said he quit hoops, but even then ... golf pros have so much more experience and hours spent golfing.

his start to this season is somehow better than his start to the 2016 season.

What? How did he just figure this out?

was just about to post this. steph hopping on the mythmaking train lmao.

whole article here:
https://theathletic.com/903588/2019/04/03/thompson-steph-curry-fixed-his-vision-and-now-the-warriors-postseason-path-looks-so-much-clearer/

can you cut and paste that? I can't believe he's never had an eye test with team doctors.

Stephen​ Curry was​ a rookie when the Hughes brothers film “The​ Book of Eli”​ came​ out in January of​ 2010. Denzel Washington​​ starred in this post-apocalyptic thriller about a man named Eli journeying across the violent and desolate wasteland the country had become, looking for San Francisco. Alcatraz was a safe haven where pre-war life was being preserved.

Eli had a precious item with him, one he believed would restore humanity: a Bible, the last copy on Earth, which he read every night for years. Under attack from vandals and pursued by a villain — played by Gary Oldman — who wanted to get his hands on the Bible so he could control people, Eli proved to be more than a nomad. Though humble and peaceful, he was a valiant fighter and proficient killer as well as a resourceful and innovative surviver.

Eventually, he made it to Alcatraz, albeit with a gunshot wound. The Bible was finally taken from him before he made it. Still, he completed his mission by reciting it word for word to a transcriber just before dying. The big plot twist at the conclusion of the movie? The Bible he carried was in Braille. Eli was blind the whole time.

This movie produced an ongoing debate between me and Curry. I argued Eli was not blind despite the hazed pupils revealed at the end. He opened doors with no problems, picked up items without feeling around for them, even shot birds from the sky with an arrow for dinner. No way he was blind.

But no matter how many suspect scenes I pointed out, Curry never wavered. He was convinced Eli was blind the whole time. Curry continued the debate on the court. He’d make a shot and then look at me at the scorer’s table, waving his hand in front of his face while he stared as he ran back down court. That was his way of reiterating that Eli was, indeed, blind.

And, now, it all makes sense. Not the movie, though I eventually conceded Eli was blind, but why that plot twist resonated so strongly with Curry.

Curry went 5 for 10 from 3-point range in Tuesday’s 116-102 win over the Denver Nuggets at Oracle Arena. It was his ninth consecutive game with at least five made 3-pointers. In those nine games, he has made 56 of 109 from deep. That’s 51.4 percent.

This turn-up has been a revelation. Curry went 4 for 15 from deep in a loss to Phoenix on March 10. He followed that with a 3-for-9 outing in a home nail-biting victory over Houston. At that point, he was shooting 36.6 percent from 3 after the All-Star break (48 of 131). In his first nine seasons combined, he shot 46.5 percent after the All-Star Game. He was in a legit slump.

Then, suddenly, it went away. What changed?

“I started wearing contacts,” Curry said late Tuesday, pulling his white “Ten in the Town” hat down on his head, creating an awning for his beaming eyes. “No, I’m serious.”

For all of his career, his life even, Curry has had issues with his eyes. He said he has a condition called Keratoconus, known in the ophthalmology field as KC. Technically, it’s an eye disease in which the cornea, normally a circle, progressively thins and takes on a cone shape. This distortion has given Curry what is known as an astigmatism, which is a type of error in the way the light bends when entering the eye. It doesn’t distribute the light equally to the retina and leads to blurred or distorted vision. It’s a genetic condition Curry was probably born with, though scientists don’t know how it is acquired.

Wait a second. Curry — who traveled all the way across the country to the Bay, his Bible in tow — was blind the whole time? And now he can see?

“It’s exactly that,” Curry said when asked if he feels like he has new eyes. “It’s like the whole world has opened up.”

This is the part where you borrow my take: no way he was blind.

Even before this recent hot streak, Curry had made more than 2,400 regular-season 3-pointers in his career. That’s third most in NBA history while taking the ninth-most attempts. He also has the best free-throw percentage in NBA history. Curry just passed Hall of Famer and Warriors legend Chris Mullin for fourth on the Warriors’ career points list. And that’s not to mention Curry’s ball-handling, developed by sensory overload drills with lights and tennis balls, and thread-the-needle passes.

But for those who have watched Curry over the years, you may have noticed this: he squints a lot. Sometimes, it looks like a piercing stare. Sometimes, he looks confused. But mostly, he’s developed a habit of adjusting his eyelids for clearer vision.

It is perhaps a sign of how mild his KC must be, because he could just squint and regain focus. But it is also a degenerative condition that, according to most scientists, doesn’t stop progressing until about age 40. So perhaps Curry, 31, reached a point where he needed to do something.

He said he should be wearing glasses, but he doesn’t. Once, at his annual Christmas event, he gave attendees a free visit with an optometrist and glasses if they needed them. When addressing the crowd he joked about needing to get checked out, too. He was giving a hint.

LASIK surgery is off the table for Curry. Corrective eye surgery reshapes the cornea by removing some of the tissue, making the cornea thinner. But for Curry, progressive thinning of his cornea is the problem.

So he just kept dealing with it. He became the greatest shooter ever despite an impediment. Why didn’t he get the contacts sooner?

“I had gotten so used to squinting for so long,” he said. “It was just normal.”

But after his prolonged slump — making just 33 percent of his 3-pointers over a nine-game stretch (38 for 115) — he recently gave the specialized contact lenses a try. Some people whose KC is severe enough need corneal transplant surgery or corneal collagen cross-linking. But for many, glasses or contacts are enough. They seem to be for Curry.

He is like many who don’t really know their vision is impaired until they get a dose of perfect vision. The contacts showed him what he’d been missing.

Since getting a rest day when Dallas came to town on March 23, Curry has made 32 of 59 from 3.

But the contacts aren’t the only factor, though Curry’s shooting just looks more true than it did in February. A big factor is the flow of the Warriors offense. The ball is hopping around. Kevin Durant has been a catalyst for that.

The offense is running through him a lot, as Steve Kerr leans on point-Durant. But Durant isn’t looking for his shot at the same rate he normally does. After going 9 for 25 against Dallas in a blowout loss when Curry rested, Durant has taken just 59 shots in the last five games, 22 coming in the overtime loss at Minnesota. But he’s averaging 7.6 assists and feeding his teammates like a 7-foot waiter. With Durant as a live option and looking to pass and the Warriors cutting and moving off him, it’s made life off of the ball much easier for Curry.

After the loss to Dallas, the Warriors ranked second in the league with 318.6 passes per game. Their 29.1 assists per game led the league. Since then, they’ve averaged 20 more passes and 5.4 more assists per game.

Ball movement equals motion, motion shifts the defense and creates openings while also allowing the Warriors offense to get a rhythm going. That rhythm is like caffeine to Curry’s game. He gets better looks. He knows where and when they are coming from.

His latest hot streak has him up to 43.8 percent shooting from 3, on pace for his highest percentage since his 2015-16 unanimous MVP season. It’s the second most 3-pointers he’s made in his career (340 and counting), short of only his record-destroying 402 in 2015-16.

Curry in rhythm heading into the playoffs is the best news for the Warriors. He has been the catalyst, the barometer, for the Warriors’ success during this entire run. When he is on, they are the most explosive offense in NBA history. When he is healthy and aggressive and drilling 3-pointers at an historic rate, they are unbeatable.

And that was true when he was blind. Now he can see.

wow, that's unbelievable. i guess it's lucky that the contacts haven't thrown him off!
he casually hit one before he came off the floor last night that must've been closer to 40 feet away than not.

thanks for the c+p btw!

I’m guessing his prescription is not especially strong, but that’s still pretty fuckin nuts

“The hand is ready. The hand is healed and strong, and that’s been the case for the last week. But like I told you guys the other day, he’s been limited to two scrimmages. Both scrimmages included some random people we just found on the street with all due respect to Klay Thompson’s pals. "

That clip reel was great fun. I watched a lot of those originally, forgot what a show he put on.

wild he went back and played another season after that

That shot at 18:10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBaDqrWBEI

lol I remember seeing that live. love how he doesn’t even realize it til he gets swamped by teammates

<3 turiaf

Whenever I mention Curry to my wife I identify him as the NBA's most "magical" player. And this from a Blazer fan who has watched the amazing fabulous career of Dame Lillard. It's a bit like watching the Clyde Drexler years, when Jordan was just enough better to throw shade on Drexler, who otherwise was easily an all time Top 20 player.

Want to engrave that on a wishing stone and carry it in my pocket

If only he hit 13 more on Christmas.

ok, i know i am maybe going to sound a bit hyperbolic when i say this, but: that clip of Steph hitting 105 threes in a row ... i'm trying to decide if that is the most amazing video footage of a human accomplishment i have ever seen? i'm not talking sports, i'm talking anything. what compares? this is a serious question.

Obligatory "We talkin bout practice"... but yes, it is incredibly awesome to watch the literal best humanity has ever produced at a specific activity, in the zone, doing their thing better than anyone ever has like that. Wish Kerr would quit the foolish motion "offense" he's trying to run for scrubs like Andrew Wiggins and Oubre, and for once unleash Curry in full offensive engine ball hog mode for a whole season like D'Antoni has been doing with Harden for the past couple of years.

it’s incredible, and tom tango did some kind of nerd analysis on twitter where he suggested his true 3pt rate was 92% or something. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on ILH but a friend of mine who trained in residency with me for a bit is the world record holder for 3 pointers made in 24 hours, and he hit 75% over the course of the day, and told me that before fatigue really set in over the last few hours he was hitting >90%

he’s now doing cardiology fellowship at....duke smh

as far as just hitting practice threes there are prob a bunch of people who can do what steph did in that video, apparently the celtics old equipment manager for years would beat players regularly in 3pt competitions, in fact having a lanky nba body makes shooting harder

that white nyc street baller from the 80s def cld hit 100 practice 3s in a row

when i went to basketball camp at age 10 or so they had a guy come talk to us and he was one of these flawless open gym shooter types, took maybe 150-200 shots over the course of an hour and you could count the misses on one hand.

ok, you all think this is more achievable than i do/did, which is totally fine. maybe i'm overestimating it slightly. like, if my 8-year-old came to me a week ago and asked me one of his kid-type questions - i.e. could anyone ever hit 100 NBA three-pointers in a row? - i would've told him of course anything is possible, and maybe someday someone will do that, but ... well, no, not really. even wide open practice threes, i guess i would've thought 90ish % is near the top of what's humanly possible. that's a pretty long shot!

i guess this is why Steph is ... good. :)

I love the ones where he gets a good switch and then just keeps dancing with his man out at the 3pt line, trying to decide whether to embarrass him by burying a 3 in his face or blowing by him. It's like a team making the extra pass to go from high percentage shot to higher percentage shot, just all in one dude.

Technically play-in but this one should've been in that compilation, too.

right got that, wondering if there was something more significant

Looks like he has about 5k invested. That's like tip money for him.

The fans swarmed around the Golden State Warriors’ player for a simple reason. They wanted to see Stephen Curry, cheer him on and possibly even land an autograph. The only problem: the fans in Cleveland that stood outside the Warriors’ hotel identified the wrong person.

“We’re both light skinned, so they thought I was Steph,” Warriors forward Juan Toscano-Anderson said with a chuckle. “When I took off my mask, they were all disappointed. I laughed. It’s cool to see.”

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) November 22, 2022

Sure KD can do everything Steph Curry can do, but only if you define "what Curry does" as dribble, make assists, and shoot well from most parts of the floor. Can KD do those? Yup! Does KD do those at the same level? Nope! Is KD an all-time player? Yup! Does he rank above Steph? That's highly debatable, SGA, but then you put Kobe at #1, so it's obvious your judgment sucks.

Before last week I would've said swaggy p but clearly it's shai.

five minutes idk was the guy sick or something doesnt make sense

Maybe he had some kind of headset or a pair of fancy tech goggles on and it was a motion sickness thing?

could be, or just maybe some exaggeration is being deployed (unnecessarily!) in service of the legend of steph's workouts

i mean the first five minutes are for sure just going to be warm ups

its kind of unfair if the trainers arent feeding the other guys the same juice they give steph

yeah this is prob like 90% mythbuilding lol.

I want to see Steph Curry and prime Jerry Rice work out together

have noticed tendency toward said myth building around hardcore fitness for big stars who have curiously extended primes eg bron spends a million a year staying in shape, tom brady has never eaten a strawberry, steph works out so hard other guys puke in five minutes

damn if only i had cut strawberries out of my diet smh

“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.
