Stephen Curry break Ray Allen's single season 3 point record!

[Bigsmoke]

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01.html


He's at 240 right now! he has 7 games to make 30 threes and the record is his!! :eek:

will that happen?

[The_Yearning]

Unless he makes 4-5 threes a game than no. Funny thing is he probably won't even play all 7 games. That fragility.

[ProfessorMurder]

Unless he makes 4-5 threes a game than no. Funny thing is he probably won't even play all 7 games. That fragility.

Dude he's taking 7.5 threes per game.

[DirkNowitzki41]

i see it happening.

hope he does it :applause:

[IGotACoolStory]

His last 7 games he's made 32 3pters...

Not out of reach. I don't know if Allen missed games that season, but really sure Curry has this year. Pretty impressive.

[Jolokia]

Doing it on 45% like a boss :pimp:

[OhNoTimNoSho]

Hold on let me get my time machine I will let you know.

[Droid101]

Do they play the Heat before the end of the season? Because I can see LeBron/Wade/Battier totally hounding him all game and leaving other people open just to help Ray keep the record, even if it costs them the game.

[ripthekik]

His last 7 games he's made 32 3pters...
:wtf:
that is fecking amazing..

[9512]

I cheer for him to break that record.

[Smoke117]

Allen played 78 games that season so yes he missed four games.

[LosScandalous]

It's not to early to start putting him on the g.o.a.t. shooters list

[Levity]

I can see him sitting out at least 1 more game the remainder of the season, so no i dont think he'll get it this season. But i can see him getting it and then getting it again at some point in his career, given he stays healthy.

[crisoner]

He got a shot!!!!

DO IT CURRY!

:rockon:

[imdaman99]

hope he does it. hate ray allen with a passion

[kwajo]

His father's shot was legendary, I wish I could see a shootout between the two in their primes.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

3 3s so far today. needs to average just over 4 for the record.

[wally_world]

When he's 1 or 2 away from the record look for his opponent to foul him on every shot :lol

[Rubio2Gasol]

When he's 1 or 2 away from the record look for his opponent to foul him on every shot :lol

Nah, hopefully not.

I see him taking 10+ the next few games though, I don't mind, he deserves it.

[che guevara]

I'm rooting for him to do it, but I'd bet against it. He's got to make 4.2 a game to break the record.

If he doesn't do it this year though, he's got plenty more years in his prime to try. If he manages to stay healthy and play 76+ games a year (big if), he'll probably end up breaking it at some point.

[SacJB Shady]

Curry can definitely make more than 4 3's a game. It's going to be close.

[esiotrot]

I'd say this is the best 3point shooting season by any player of all time, factoring in volume and percent.

:applause:

[inclinerator]

I'd say this is the best 3point shooting season by any player of all time, factoring in volume and percent.

:applause:
and he creates alot of 3s for himself

[SacJB Shady]

Curry may be the best 3 point scorer ever. Notice I say scorer. There are lots of great 3 point shooters, but Steph scores in volumes with his threes.

[Duranthebest]

Let's go Curry!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[9512]

Against the suns, he made 3 of them.

This makes it a bit harder now he's got to hit more these last 6 games.

[MMM]

Let's go Curry!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

haven't seen you here in a min
seems like you were well ahead of the curve of Ray Allen hating, well before it became the cool thing to do in Boston.

[Djahjaga]

and he creates alot of 3s for himself

He's the best at creating threes since Ray. Ray used to take a lot of threes off the dribble.


Curry may be the best 3 point scorer ever. Notice I say scorer. There are lots of great 3 point shooters, but Steph scores in volumes with his threes.

Again, we're forgetting that Ray Allen was once upon a time more than just a guy running around screens.

[9512]

Any1 notice his shot is heavily influenced by his dad's?

Dell's feet would barely leave the floor and same thing with Stephen's.

I would choose curry's shot technique over Ray Allen's.

[Simple Jack]

Dude's stroke is just WET. Would love to see him break the record. He has one of the prettiest offensive games in the league IMO.

[KDnRuss350]

If he plays every game the rest of the year, he's going to finish with 78 GP, which is how many Ray played in '05-'06 when he set the record. But, at his current clip of 7.5 3P/G, Curry would tie or break the record on about 80 fewer 3PA than Ray. Of course since he needs to average 4.5 made 3's per game over the final 6 games to break the record, he'll likely take 8-10 3P/G if he's really gunning for it. Also, comparing Allen's shooting percentages in the year he broke the record to Curry's this year: Allen shot .454/.412/.903 and .590 TS% and .544 eFG%; Curry's shooting .449/.454/.897 and .587 TS% and .545 eFG%.

Either way, he's had a phenomenal season. Like Ray, he's really made "the jump" in his 4th season. Allen went from averaging 17-4-4-1 in his 3rd season to 22-4-4-1 in his 4th year. I'm just going to combine his last 2 seasons since he only played in 26 games last year, but Curry's gone from averaging 18-4-6-1.5 last year and the year before, to averaging 23-4-7-1.5 this year.

Their numbers are almost eerily similar.

[9512]

Retrospectively, would Curry have been a better talent and fit for the 2012 US team in London?

I am LOLing at Deron Williams being on that squad and stink in it up

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I think he definitely would have.

[jcsrplumply]

It would be cool but if he will not accomplish it, it is still good knowing that he is shooting at a good percentage at 3 pt line :). 453%

[AussieG]

How can a little boy who doesn't even shave yet be so deadly from 3?

[Bigsmoke]

**** what i said.

Curry is at a pace to break Ray Allen's all time record if his ankles hold up.

[9512]

Ray's record is 269 from the 05-06 season.

Stephen is at: 261 with 2 games left.

Totally realistic he could beat it.

He hit 9 threes against the Lakers last night.

[thabisyo]

Curry should have this one in the bag. I cant see him not going for it



Rest in peace to Ray's record :bowdown:

[L3B120N J4M35]

Ray's record is 269 from the 05-06 season.

Stephen is at: 261 with 2 games left.

so he needs nine 3's to break it. lets pray aha :bowdown:

Gogogogogo!!!

Still think its slim..

[DMV2]

Allen's 2005-06 record: 269 out of 653 (.412) in 78 games(with one game of only 8 minutes of play)

Curry this season: 261 out of 576 (.453) in 76 games with two more games left to play.

Ridiculous really....if he does manage to stay relatively health for most of his career,he will be the goat 3pt shooter.probably breaking ray's record like a boss with 45%...

[retaxis]

bit too early to talk about career especially regarding a kid. Wait 5-10 years then see whether he is a bench warmer or role player

Are you talking about Curry? Role player? :biggums:

You think glass ankles is going to be the first option of the team in 5-10years? give me a break he won't last as a first option for more then 5 years MAX.

[Crafty]

Well, I hope you're wrong. And this is year he wasn't hit by injuries, maybe those times are over

[daj0264]

Hope he does break it, he is the best 3 point shooter in the nba and will go down as the best ever.

[BlueCrayon]

Can you please tell me how many games he has missed this year?

[Rubio2Gasol]

With half of them being pull up's.........


:biggums:

:bowdown:

[livingby3's]

well even if he does becomes a role player someday he will still be a reliable perimeter shooter. dudes gonna break records if he keeps his ankles safe. With a 3 point shot like his it's gonna keep him in the league for another good 10years at least, barring any career ending injury.

[JerryWest]

dat stroke! :bowdown: go curry, i believe in you!!

[retaxis]

I donnow just don't come back and ask me to bump this thread about glass ankles in few years time. I never believe in forgotten injuries especially if you become a bigger star and people play harder on you.

[Ancient Legend]

Stephen Curry is the best three point shooter of all time to me already, followed closely by Reggie Miller. He's very good at :

- Shooting it off the dribble
- Shooting it off a screen
- Shooting it on a fastbreak (instead of a layup)
- Sudden stop and pullup three (a la Steve Nash)
- Crossover the shit out of you and hit the three (Reggie Miller and Ray Allen couldn't do this)
- Quickest release in the NBA
- Great Range.

Only thing he's yet to prove is how clutch he can be under pressure in a playoff type situation. Miller was the best of all time here.

[9512]

Stephen Curry is Ray Allen part 2.

Eventually he may lose a step or two but he will still be a great shooter off the bench or starting....as a role player in his 30s.

- Fadeaway 3

[Rockets(T-mac)]

I wonder if he'll break the single game record one of these days? With the way he catches fire I can see him hitting more than 12.

[kurple]

doubt it

but i'm sure he will go for it.

hope his chucking gives houston the 6th seed. Easy sweep for Denver

Harden cant do shit against Iggy

i can see it, especially a team with bad defense

[Iceberg Slim]

for sure. 12 seems very do-able for Curry

is there another player in the league that is more exciting shooting the 3?

I think Curry is destined to be the best pg in the league in the next couple of years. He or Kyrie, and I prefer Steph. He is truly an amazing offensive player. Amazing shooter. Never thought he'd really be this good.

[SacJB Shady]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applause: :bowdown: :rockon: :banana: :cheers: :D

Steph Curry is the TROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna be better than KOBE!!!!!!!!

[9512]

He hit 7 threes against the Spurs last night.

So he's one away from tying and 2 from overtaking Ray.

[SacJB Shady]

Steph Curry and David Lee are best friends!!! And they met each other on a bad note when Curry stuffed Lee!!!

[Bigsmoke]

[Droid101]

Damn... one shy with 60 less attempted.

This guy is the GOAT 3 point shooter and it's only his fourth season.

Amazing.

Dude will break it in the first quarter tomorrow night.

[DMV2]

Can somebody seperate his 3-point FG% and 2-point FG%?

FG% is .453, and 3point FG% is .455. So he must be shooting like .440 under the 3-pt arc. :lol

.451 from 2, .455 from 3 this season. Insane.

[Draz]

When's the next game? I'm a fan of the kid man. He's impressive, he scorched my Knicks the other day. Will be an amazing scorer and shooter in the league. Hopefully his ankles don't hurt his game.

We know he's going to break it, but by how much?

I'll say a good 5-7 up.

[DMV2]

Well, their final game is at Portland, who surprisingly have the fourth best 3-point defense in the league.

However, they've been playing like utter garbage lately, so who knows.

I'm guessing he hits 3 in a blowout win while sitting most of the fourth quarter.

[pegasus]

Has he always been this crafty with the ball in his hands, or has he improved his handles recently? He's like a little bit slower version of Kyrie with even better shooting. Very impressive.

Wednesday night, last night of the regular season. There's still 5 games that matters in the Western Conf standing. :oldlol:

GSW vs Portland. I think GSW and HOU are battling for 6th/7th seed so the game matters.

I say he gets 6 for the game, beating the record by 5.

Oh my god what a final three by Curry.

Final numbers

2012-13 Curry: 272 made/ 600 attempts (~ .453) in 78 games (played at least 25 minutes in each game)

2005-06 Allen: 269 made/ 653 attempts (.412) in 78 games (one game played only 8 minutes)

[Silence]

Congrats to Curry. Also, not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Klay Thompson just finished 21st for number of threes made in a single season with 211. This could be the best 3-point shooting back court of all time.

272 threes in 600 attempts isn't a lot really.... Thats actually 53 fewing attempts that Ray when Ray was able to get 269

even if it is dont u think u want a 45% three point shooter to shoot more?

[fragokota]

Congrats,it's always nice seeing new records being set.and he did it with a much better percentage too.:applause:

[Haymaker]

If he can take care of that ankle, he can break Allen's 3pt all time record. He's an outstanding shooter.
