On December 15, Beijing time, Curry officially surpassed Ray Allen and became the three-point king in NBA history. In his post-match press conference, Curry proudly announced: I am the best goalscorer in history. Crazy? Not at all. Because Curry definitely deserves to say that. The US media posted the following 5 tables, clearly showing how good Curry is in terms of three-point projection!
Let's take a look at Curry's side-by-side comparison with Allen and Miller, and this table shows the three-point shooting numbers when they are the same age. Curry completed the overtaking at the age of 33, and by the end of last season, Curry had already scored 732 more three-pointers than allen of the same age and 1236 more than Miller of the same age. How many three-pointers can Curry score when he retires? His own post-match answer was to hope to set the record to a number no one could match. NBA official website expert Mark Medina predicts that the person who breaks Curry's three-point record in the future has not yet been born.
Let's take a look at the top 18 three-point shots in a single season. Curry alone occupies 6 of them, and four of the top 5 positions belong to Curry, including the 402 three-pointers he shot in the 2015-16 season. Curry's three-point shooting total this season is expected to reach a new high, when he will add another seat in the top 18.
The next table shows career scoring stats and three-point shooting percentages. Curry is the only player to have averaged more than 23 points per game in his career and more than 40 percent from three-point range. The number of shots is numerous and accurate, and no one in history can surpass Curry.
We all know Curry holds a record for hitting at least one three-pointer in a row. He has hit at least one three-pointer in 157 consecutive games, and in addition to this three-point record, he also holds 13 NBA three-point records (table below). He ranks first in history in terms of career three-point shooting, single-season high three-point shooting, career average three-point shooting per game, and 3-12 single-game hits! Curry, who holds 14 three-point records, is undoubtedly the best shooter in history.
The last table illustrates Curry's huge improvement in the field of three-pointing, and he has influenced the direction of the NBA. Take a look at Curry's NBA record before he entered the league.
The maximum number of three-point shots in a single season (269), the original record holder was Allen, Curry raised the record to 402; the number of career hits at least 10 three-pointers (3 games), the original record holder was JR Smith, Curry raised the record to 22 games; the number of ultra-long three-pointers 27 feet away (211), the original record holder was Kobe, Curry raised the record to 703; the number of three-point shots ranked first in the league's season (3 seasons), the original record holder was Allen, Curry raised the record to seven seasons.
Finally, before Curry entered the league, no player had averaged at least five three-pointers per game in a single season, and Curry has now averaged at least five three-pointers per game in four seasons. The best shooter of all time, worthy of the name!
