77.....****


I have been shooting every day for 10 years and my record is just 29, and that's high school 3's.

**** that is ridiculous. NBA 3's? Are you kidding me?

[bigkingsfan]

My high is two.

[Heavincent]

Steph Curry broke basketball.

[Fudge]

Fluke....once again. :facepalm

[Harison]

Such efficiency is insane :wtf: No wonder he breaks 3PT All-time records every season.

[RoseCity07]

That is insane. I made about 65 free throws in a row one day. Doing it with threes would take me the rest of my life and even then I don't think I could ever do it.

How the hell he lost to Mark jackson?

[dubeta]

Yet he only shoots 40% in actual games :facepalm

#chokingunderpressure

[redboy]

you can tell who in this thread plays basketball and who doesn't

[chazzy]

Remember when Pauk argued that he can outshoot a lot of NBA players based on their percentages

[DonDadda59]

Practice no hit back.

Let me see you do that shit in the playoffs. :whatever:

[inclinerator]

and of course no 1 shot the whole thing

crazy that 77 is the most he's made in a row tho, there's alot of shooters that made more than that in practice
and arent half the shooter steph is

what's even more mind boggling is klay's high is 36 in a row

[TylerOO]

and of course no 1 shot the whole thing

Right. I wanna see video.

[L.A.Showtime]

That is just bonkers.

This isn't even close to true. Especially not from NBA 3 point line. You can probably count the amount of humans on earth even capable of this on one hand.

Only two I've ever heard doing this were Steph and Wilt

[LAZERUSS]

I once read somewhere where Chris Mullin made 49-50 in a practice shoot-around...but in any case...

how about a 50 year old Mullin...

Old man Bird ...

http://www.perfectshotsshooting.com/basketball-shooting/larry-bird-the-legend-continues/

[QUOTE]There is a reason they call him Larry Legend. In a story reported by SLAM, one of the greatest basketball shooters of all time, Larry Bird, recently put his skill on display for members of the Indiana Pacers during an impromptu shoot around. Paul George told the story to SLAM Magazine in a recent interview, and it certainly is one of legends: SLAM: I believe you had talked about seeing Larry shoot in the gym. PG: He picked a ball up that had rolled over. He rolled up his sleeves and made about 15 in a row and just walked out like nothing just happened. It was the craziest thing I

[Dro]

Yeah, this is pretty crazy... Steph is like the only guy in the history of mankind that could/has done this...I'm dead serious.......

Old man Bird ...

it didnt say anything about it being from 3

[jongib369]

Most I've ever made from that same spot is 15.....Jesus.

Sure I only practice on and off....but what the ****

:biggums:

[LAZERUSS]

it didnt say anything about it being from 3

Well, how about this then...


As well as his shooting. While most players waltzed into the locker room the required 90 minutes before game time, Bird has been on the floor by at least 6:00, more than two hours before tip-off. In the loneliness of Boston Garden, with only attendants and a few Celtics season ticket holders present, Bird shot more than 300 practice shots. He’d start with 6 to 10 free throws, move out on the court a bit, and then start firing away at a comfortable pace as comrade Joe Qatato hit him with perfect passes. Then the “Parquet Picasso,” as he was dubbed, would speed up the routine and by the end of the workout throw up rapid-fire shots, many featuring the Bird “drop back a step” maneuver that guaranteed him an opening from every angle. “I really don’t count my shots,” Bird said. “I just shoot until I feel good.”

ESPN producer Bill Fairweather recalled Bird amazing even the great Micky Mantle. “We had Mantle in the studio when I worked at WBZ in Boston, and the in-house camera feed showed Bird practicing at the Garden. It was like 4:00 and nobody was there but the maintenance people and a few ushers. Here’s Bird out there shooting jumpers, one after another. Mantle watched for a while, and then said, ‘This guy hasn’t missed a shot since I got here.’ I could tell the Mick was in awe of Bird.

Granted that doesn't say 3pt shots, either, but after 6-10 FTAs, he moved out and started firing away...


And again...a 50 year old Mullin...

If i can find the interview of Pacers starting five from 90s where Mark Jackson says how many 3's Reggie once hit in a row in practice and then Reggie confirmed it, i will post here... i wont say how many he hit until i find this, because you will be skeptical...

lets see if google is my friend today, brb.

As far as mankind goes.... i assume you havent checked some of those guinness world records... some guy made 1000's 3's in a row... here is that guy doing 209 in a row on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzYh4CGAbCU including having a shootout with Rick Barry... blindfolded.... :)

[ClipperRevival]

If it's true, that is insane. With the distance of NBA 3s, all it takes is a slight loss in focus and/or form to miss. I might hit 10 straight from college 3s but 77 from NBA distance? Unreal. NBA 3s are very deep. I have played this game my whole life and the one thing I have yet to master is to be able to hit 3s consistently, even from college 3s. I think my small hands make it harder for me to generate enough power to get my shots off from beyond about 21 feet. NBA do players do have advantages in shooting with their large hands, taller height, etc. But still, unreal.

anything that's not nba 3 point line doesnt count, the only guy ive heard that can do this not in the nba is probably dave hopla

Those 3 point lines are significantly shorter. That 2nd guy is shooting HS 3's. :oldlol:

Not to mention they're staying at the same spot. Curry went around the arc

[lilojmayo]

My friend texted me that Curry did this and my jaw dropped . Curry is the only person in the world to ever live capable of this from that distance .


There are few Euro league players that can go off 40+ 3s in a row ,like Juan Carlos Navorro , but that's from HS/college 3 point lines

[CarlosBoozer]

He needs to be in an episode of sports science again, this nigguh ain't human :biggums:

[robert de niro]

indeed they are shorter than nba but lol at being college/HS, the second video is 1 foot (or less) difference with nba, college is 4 feet difference

EDIT: I still think what steph did is mindblowing, I just posted those videos for the dude claiming elite shooters would struggle to get 20 in a row

[tgan3]

I can shoot more than 50% college 3 easily, but 94% Nba 3's is crazy.

[inclinerator]

the navarro vid was when fiba's 3 point line was still shortened to be the same as the college 3

they extended the range of fiba 3 point line since then

[Sportal]

A lot of people on here can't even count to 77.. To sink 77 3s in a row is unreal. I can't fathom such a thing, even from a shooter such as Curry. That's ridiculous.

Yeah, this is pretty crazy... Steph is like the only guy in the history of mankind that could/has done this...I'm dead serious.......
Jason Kapono maybe? Dunno about 77 though..

Man F Curry. He's too good a shooter, has his sliders all the way up. Wanna see him vs Westbrook in the 1st round... but Pelicans stand in the way...

[Rake2204]

The thing that interests me with a streak like Curry's is the mental aspect. At some point I wonder if he thought to himself "Man, I've probably hit about 50 in a row by now." Sometimes, it seems consciousness of something like that is enough to skew one's concentration just enough to create a miss (almost like the yipps). Incredible shooting one way or another.

[ArbitraryWater]

Maybe you don't play much or aren't very good OP, but even guys like me can go for like 10 straight on great days... I seen Nic Stauskas hit like 75/80 on YouTube, 2012 or 2013 Kobe has a practise video draining like 40 straight, nothing random for them.

kobe hit 10 in a row in that vid

[LAZERUSS]

This speaks volumes about the defense being played in the NBA, when guys like Curry, Mullin, Bird, and before them, Lucas...who were capable of 50+ in a row...

"only" shoot around 40-45% in actual games...

Funny how Klay, one of the best shooters ever and someone who shits on you in basically every aspect of life, was in disbelief about it.

Try harder :oldlol:

Agreed. Most GREAT shooters would be lucky to get 20 in a row.

How did he lose two 3pt shootouts? Nerves?

[Pointguard]

Pretty much sums it up that its a rhythm thing. This guy took more than 7 hours of free throws without missing and 30 feet out is a totally different muscle set. But proves that it is about muscle memory and sticking to your fundamentals.

But unless a defender is making you alter your muscle set, it isn't that big of deal for game play.

[inclinerator]

steve kerr said his high is 25 in a row

[lilojmayo]

steve kerr said his high is 25 in a row

Klay said his high 36 in a row. And to all you on ISH who think its easy. Just cause these college and professional players ( NBA and top overseas pro) make it look easy....doesn't mean its easy to do. They are all in their own way anomalies to the game in their own right comparison with general population of people who play the game of basketball.

You could barely go into your local gym and see any of the guys have the ability to hit 20 free throws in a row being all net , let alone 20 3 pointers let alone 20+ 3 pointers in a row......especially from NBA range

like some of these college and professional players are capable of . There is a reason why people are played millions to play the game of basketball. If it was easy, everyone would do it

[L.A.Showtime]

I thought there was no video so I never clicked the link until now. :applause:

[SyRyanYang]

I'm not entirely shocked Curry did this but some posters here are just:facepalm

If one converts 90% of his open 3's, the chance of knocking down 77 in a row is


less than 0.03%.

Let that sink in for a moment.

[Spurs m8]

Exactly, he didn't do it.

Why didnt someone rip a camera out and film around 30 or something?

I want proof

[julizaver]

I remembered reading a story about Larry Bird (while he was still playing) and his coach saying the probably Drazen Petrovic was the best 3pt shooter in the world after hitting 60 3pts in a row in practice with Real Madrid team in Spain and then Larry Bird procceed and make around 70 and then just leave the practice.

And interesting video of Sabonis shooting some 3 pointers in a row during his Blazers days:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdlB8tX75Mc

[kNIOKAS]

Yeah it's crazy. Both of these feats are incredible. :cheers:


I could see as somebody who dedicate them to hitting threes could actually hit a really high percentage, but Curry is a basketball player - he has to develop other facets and shit. Not to mention that a planted shot is potentially more accurate than a jumper.

It's amazing. Hearing about other players hitting 60 3's in a row is also very inspiring.
