In just 7 games, Curry will set a new all-time record!
Not long ago, James just completed a miracle of 39,000 points. And for Curry, he is also on the verge of another great record of his career, Curry has hit 3,463 three-pointers so far. It also means that he can make a record 3,500 three-pointers in just 37 three-pointers. Based on Curry's current average of five three-pointers per game, Curry could complete that record in seven more games.
After Curry made 3,500 three-pointers, many fans were looking forward to Curry breaking the 4,000 three-pointers. In fact, according to Curry's current personal form, it is only a matter of time before he breaks the 4,000 three-pointer mark. At the age of 36, Curry is still averaging five three-pointers per game. If he can play a consistent 70 games in a season, that means he can make 350 three-pointers in a single season. Let's just count Curry's ability to shoot 300 three-pointers in a single season, which means that Curry will be able to reach the 4,000 three-pointers mark by the end of next season.
What's more, Curry is unlikely to retire at the end of next season, and his career may be further extended, which means that Curry will set a record that is even more unattainable for future generations, at least in the field of three-point shooting, which is difficult for future generations to surpass Curry. The gap between him and second place is getting wider.
I have to say that Curry is really an epoch-making three-point shot, he changed our definition of three-point shots, before Curry did not appear, many players even rarely shot three-point shots, let alone saw players who shot two steps outside the three-point line, Curry's arrival made the league blow a three-point tide, and more and more players who like to shoot ultra-long distances have emerged, and the overall style of play in the league is more inclined to shoot three-point shots, and now a team if his three-point shooting ability is very poor, it also means that they have no hope of competing for the championship. When more and more teams are shooting three-pointers, it's hard to beat them with a two-pointer.
We're not sure if the league will continue to make three-point shots after Curry's retirement, but there's no denying that Curry is definitely the number one in the three-point shooting field. Perhaps in the next few decades, when people mention three-point shots, Curry's name will be the first to be mentioned. Curry's success in the NBA has also affected today's teenagers learning basketball to a certain extent, and they are also shooting more and more three-point shots on the basketball court, which is also an improvement in basketball to a certain extent, so that more and more fans have begun to realize the importance of three-point shots.
