On January 1, Beijing time, according to the report of data expert Kirk Goldsberry, Curry created a miracle of the first in history, shooting a total of 507 three-pointers in 2021.
According to statistics, Curry's 507 three-point shots this year are a new three-point shooting record for the NBA in a natural year. Of course, the previous record was also set by Curry, who shot 468 three-pointers in a single year in 2016. In third place is Harden, who shot 445 three-pointers in 2019. Fourth is also Curry, who shot 436 three-pointers in a single year in 2015.
The so-called natural year, which includes the regular season, play-offs and playoffs, Curry in this record, the top four in history accounted for three, further confirming that the greatest shooter in history is worthy of the name.
In fact, if it weren't for the Nuggets and Warriors' postponement, Curry would still have a chance to pull that record even higher. Curry's 507 three-point shots in a single year have also sparked heated discussion, and some fans regret that if Curry could play in the playoffs last season, if he did not miss 9 games, if the season did not shrink due to the epidemic, indeed, assuming that these all happened, Curry may be able to shoot 600 three-pointers.
It has to be said, as Durant said, "Anything you can break the NBA's historical record, no matter what the record, especially an important record like the three-point shooting, he will make it impossible to break again." Curry's current record, the person with the most chance of breaking it, I am afraid it is himself.
