Today, Warriors player Green participated in a show, in which Green mentioned: For today's children, Curry is their Jordan, and his influence is great. Green has praised Curry in public more than once. When talking about the top 5 stars in history, Green also added Curry to it.
Curry is indeed Jordan for today's children, and his influence is enormous. In the 21st century, Curry's impact on the game is likely to be unique. Because Curry ushered in the era of small ball, no team in the NBA at the beginning of this century will probably shoot 20 three-point shots on the outside. You may not even have 10 shots in a single game. Most teams in the league are still playing firmly on the inside, and back-to-back singles and mid-range shooting are common offensive methods. After Curry came out, the pace of the game changed throughout the NBA. The way of attack has also changed dramatically, with no one shooting a lot of shots from mid-range.
Now the NBA makes 30 or 40 three-pointers in a game. A player can make 10, or even 20, shots on the perimeter. Curry surpassed Ray Allen this season to become the NBA's most hit player on three-pointers, and he continues to set his own record as well as legend.
Curry does deserve to be compared to Jordan. Jordan's strength isn't just on the court, it's off the field. Jordan also changed people's concepts and play styles at that time, Jordan was a flying man, conquering everyone with delicate and solid technology. The same is true of Curry, let's see how young players are influenced by Curry today. In the past three seasons, the stars who have entered the NBA have a characteristic: they like to shoot three points, especially outside stars. Ramello Ball and Edwards are big three-pointers, and Morant has made more and more three-point shots this season. Not to mention Trae Young and Doncic in 2018, Trae Young is even more known as Little Curry.
This year's rookie players also have a high three-point shooting percentage, and Corningham's main offensive means is the three-point shot. Jaylen Green also uses three-pointers as an important offensive tool for himself, and even Tanhua Mobley is an interior player who can shoot three points. Too many players are influenced by Curry to shoot three-pointers.
Fans who have watched Curry's game know that Curry's three-pointer is very unreasonable. Many of them are ultra-long-range projections, and due to Curry's influence, many players are getting farther and farther away from three-point shots. Both Ramello Ball and Trae Young are good at over-long-range three-pointers. This makes them more difficult to defend on the court, and even the three-point shooting distance of the old Zhan in recent years has become farther and farther away, and it is difficult to say that it is not affected by Curry.
Curry's three-pointers have not only changed themselves, but also the various teams in the NBA. NBA teams are prioritising the search for players who can shoot when recruiting people, and these seasons shooters have been popular in the free market. A failed draft like Duncan Robinson can get a big contract of $90 million. He was a shooter with only marksmanship, no physical talent, no ability to hold the ball, and mediocre defense. He was awarded a $90 million contract just by shooting, which shows how much a shot costs a player.
In recent seasons, rookies have struggled to shoot three-pointers. Curry can be admired and his dominance, and there is no need to say too much about Curry's abilities and data. Curry contributed the first 50 points of the season, last season's 33-year-old Curry averaged 32 points per game, and only two players in the NBA since its inception can win the scoring championship at the age of 33. In addition to Curry being the famous Jordan, it is no wonder that Green will regard Curry as the Jordan of the cost era. On the game influence Curry really has the shadow of Jordan.
Curry has been in a slump lately, but Curry is a true superstar. As long as you slowly adjust the state, one day Curry will find his own rhythm and continue to output efficiently. Dear officials, what level of influence do you think Curry has in history? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section of the article.
