On December 17, Beijing time, according to the US media "goldenstateofmind", in a fan voting survey, 40% of fans believe that Stephen Curry's three-point record can be maintained for at least 10 years, and 65% of fans believe that the league has been too slow to respond to the new crown epidemic this season.
Curry surpassed Ray Allen
In wednesday's Warriors away game against the Knicks, Curry hit five three-pointers and hit 2,977 career three-pointers, surpassing Ray Allen (2,973) as the new all-time three-pointer.
There is no doubt that Curry will continue to improve this record this season and then further next season. He will continue to improve for many seasons until one day he decides to hang up his boots permanently. I believe that many fans do not want Curry to decide to retire the day to come, once he retires, then the three-point record will also stop.
Survey results
Interestingly, after Curry retires, fans will turn their attention to the next generation of shooters to try to figure out who can break Curry's three-point record. In the eyes of the fans, this person will not appear for a long time. In a fan survey conducted by SB Nation, 40 percent of fans thought his three-point record would last at least 10 years after Curry retired; 21 percent even thought it would last at least 20 years, and another 30 percent thought it would last at least 5 years.
Of course, this is a difficult thing to predict, because the league can change big and fast. Curry himself, for his part, did not average five three-pointers per game in the first three seasons of his career, but has since exceeded seven in each season, including more than 10 in five seasons and a career-high 13.4 this season. So if the game becomes more focused on three-pointers, then if there is a player who is not famous but gets more shooting opportunities because of the development of the game, he may break Curry's record.
Curry's all-time three-point record is very interesting, but there have been some boring news recently, such as the recent number of new coronavirus cases in the league, and earlier this week it was the first time this season that the game was postponed. However, the majority of fans (65%) believe that the league has been slow to respond to the development of the epidemic and believe that the game should be postponed more quickly.
