Today Curry's total three-pointer total surpassed Ray Allen, the first in NBA history.
only...... It's a matter of course.
Anyone who watches the ball well knows that sooner or later.
It's faster than 500 games less than Ray Allen to reach this record, but the absence of this record does not prevent Curry from being the first three-pointer in history and the strongest no-ball threat in history.
And this kind of total record, in fact, does not show the horror of the library.
When Chamberlain got 20,000 points in his career, he made a wrong judgment, saying that one day someone would also reach 100 points in a single game, but the career 20,000 points should last for a long time...
As a result, there are now several people with 30,000 points in their careers, and 100 points in a single game are still not.
Similarly, Curry's career is now close to three thousand three-point records, and it is estimated that there are latecomers who can catch up - especially in this era when everyone shoots three points, after all, the total number of careers (because of injury absences) is not Curry's strength.
But his 402 single-season, five consecutive years of shooting more than 41 percent from the league's first three-pointer and four playoffs with 72 or more three-pointers, a horrific multiple explosive record, will last a little longer.
As I've always said, Curry can be described not by 50 points per game (not as good as Lillard),but by 20 points in a single quarter (the first in record history).
Like, there may also be fans who have noticed that Barty Hield has scored 1253 three-pointers in 415 games. Career scored 3 per game, actually more than Clay.
If Hield could have stayed healthy in the NBA for a full fifteen years, and then stayed that accurate, he could probably have shot close to three thousand three-pointers — but he thinks hielder's fans who have reached the level of Clay or even Curry are probably less, right?
Similarly, before Curry caught up with Ray Allen, probably no one doubted that his three-point shot was inferior to Ray's.
So this record is actually the icing on the cake.
As for the epoch-making significance of Curry's three points, I have talked about it before.
In the 1980s, everyone in the NBA didn't shoot three-pointers. The three-point/100 total shots are probably in single digits. In the 1985-87 season, Bird finished first in the league with 82 and 90 three-pointers in a single season.
In the 1992–93 season, the NBA shot nine three-pointers per team per 100 possessions and scored three. Three-pointers were rare at the time.
In 1994-95, the four centers + shooters were too successful. Each team's three-point shots per 100 rounds became 16.
Then by the 2004-05 season, it became 17 times.
In 2004, because the rule reform was beneficial to the breaker, the breakthrough hand + shooter became popular. The three-point ratio per 100 possessions went from 17 in 2004-05 to 23 in 2013-14.
Records at the time:
269 three-pointers in the 2005–06 season for Ray Allen's single season. 2000 Playoff Miller playoffs 58 three-pointers.
Then Curry came out.
He won the championship with the Warriors in 2015, with 286 three-pointers in the regular season and 98 three-pointers in the playoffs that same year.
Since then, the whole league has begun to believe that shooting three points can also win the championship.
Starting with the 2014-15 season, the NBA's three-point shooting per 100 possessions skyrocketed from 24 to 40 this season.
So: Curry raised the season-long three-pointer record from 260+ to 400+ in one go.
Raise the single-season playoff record from 58 to 98 in one go.
Since then, the league's three-point shooting ratio has pulled from 24 to 40.
The NBA's previous two three-point pandemics were four centers and no handcheck rule changes.
Curry (which also includes data analysis that was popular at the same time) This is the third wave.
And it's not just Curry who is affected by this wave.
In 2012-15, Ha averaged three-point shots: 6.2, 6.6 and 6.9.
After 2015, Ha has averaged three-point shots: 8, 9.3, 10, 13, 12.
In 2012-15, Lillard averaged 6.1, 6.8 and 7 three-pointers per game.
After 2015, Lillard averaged three-pointers per game: 8.1, 7.7, 8.6, 8, 10.2, 10.5.
In the 2014-15 season, the entire league is shooting three-pointers — even including Curry's famous opponents.
This is not something that can be summed up by a "three-point total surpassing Ray Allen".
Put it another way.
The NBA's technical dimensions are numerous and complex, and it rarely picks up the king of the high hopes.
For example, passing the ball. Stockton, The Magician, Nash, Oscar, Bird, Paul, Kidd, which is the best?
For example, the back, sharks, sky hooks, big dreams are also great, which can be indisputably overwhelming?
For example, the interior defense, Russell, Big Dream, Chamberlain, Admiral, Big Ben, Uncle Mu, that is also enough. Perimeter defense is even more public to say that the wife is reasonable. Pippen Jordan Kidd Fraser Payton MoncclifftonY Aaron Artest, can't finish.
Jordan's mid-range shooting history is the best, but Bird, Dirk, Kobe Bryant, Nash or even Durant fans are expected to find angles to discuss the short and long.
Rodman certainly feels like he's number one in history, but Moses Malone, Chamberlain and Russell probably don't agree.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the teenagers who watched the ball probably thought that Carter was the first dunk player in history, which was always in doubt; but Lavine's performance in the dunk contest in those two years made people feel, "There seems to be room for discussion? ”
But Curry's three-pointer is the first in history.
This matter, even before today, I am afraid there is no controversy.
(Although his free throw history should be more undisputed, nash and Price are rarely mentioned as the kings of free throws...) ）
Widen a bit.
In the NCAA, which is vaster than the NBA, the three-point record in a single year is 162 three-pointers:
It was the 2007-08 season, Stephen Curry, a sophomore at Davidson University.
Of all the U.S. players who have played in the FIBA Men's Basketball World Championship/World Cup, Curry is the first to score three points: 56 — and while he has only played at the 2010 and 2014 World Championships, he was a substitute in 2010.
In college basketball, FIBA, and the NBA, three-point records are left everywhere you go.
That's it.
So this record, rather than "Curry finally crowned the king of three points", is more like:
Curry finally hit this time in good health, and can make the title of three-point king wait for his master.
Finally, a magazine article written ten years ago:
Freshman Curry averaged 21.5 points per game in the Southern Conference, and was second in the nation in terms of points — the first being Texas' bizarre monster Kevin Durant — and his 122 three-pointers set an NCAA rookie record.
Previously, in the summer of Curry's sophomore year of high school, Daddy Del Curry called him to the backyard, and a pair of big hands who shot 1245 three-pointers in the NBA with a 40.2% shooting percentage compared to his son:
"You have a problem shooting posture."
At the time, Stephen was a super-scorer at Charlotte Christian High School in North Carolina, known all over the state, but Dad was bitter: "Your shots are all thrown from the waist, this is not right." Raise the shot point! For two weeks, Dad wouldn't let Stephen shoot outside the box, "You've got to get used to lifting the ball up at close range before you can start going out on the perimeter." ”
Why?
"You're going to play the NCAA, and when you play the NBA, you can't shoot from the waist!"
That's where it all starts.
