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.

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link

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.

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Friday, 10 April 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link

not really if you consider percentage.

Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 23:09 (nine years ago) link

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

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Friday, 10 April 2015 23:26 (nine years ago) link

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

Clay, Saturday, 11 April 2015 05:42 (nine years ago) link

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.

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Saturday, 11 April 2015 06:10 (nine years ago) link

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.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 11 April 2015 06:23 (nine years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 19:02 (nine years ago) link

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!

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 19:05 (nine years ago) link

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.

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Saturday, 11 April 2015 19:51 (nine years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:07 (nine years ago) link

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

polyphonic, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:22 (nine years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

I genuinely do not remember George McCloud.

polyphonic, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:39 (nine years ago) link

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.

balls, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:44 (nine years ago) link

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

polyphonic, Saturday, 11 April 2015 20:46 (nine years ago) link

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.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:03 (nine years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Saturday, 11 April 2015 21:18 (nine years ago) link

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.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link

Yes

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 22:17 (nine years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 23:10 (nine years ago) link

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

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 23:34 (nine years ago) link

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

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

Chyiv Kyiv (Fetchboy), Friday, 4 August 2023 17:35 (one year ago) link

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.

Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 4 August 2023 20:49 (one year ago) link

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

“I didn’t feel like just one of (the athletes) at first, because people were coming up to me saying, ‘Can I have a picture with you?’” said Curry, who, at 36, is competing in his first Olympics. “It was that type of vibe. I had to actually stop and tell them, like, ‘No, I want to know who you are, what you do and level the playing field, because you’re here for a reason too.’”

Aww Steph!
