Doubt it. Has he ever been in one? I mean more than 5 games shooting horribly?

It's possible. But I hope not.:oldlol:
Its unbelievable how he can be so consistently good at putting the ball in a basket from 22ft away.

Look at his game log this season. Pretty incredible. His worst streak thus far is probably from 12/23 to 1/2 (where he was injured in between). In those 3 1/3 games, he still had a triple double and averaged about 19/9/9 on 40%, not counting the Denver game since he left after 14 minutes with an injury.
Other than that, he doesn't go more than 2 or 3 games without putting 25+ with a great, usually efficient, overall line.
eta; month by month...
October (3 games): 39.3/5.7/7.3 on .588/.486/.955 in 32.9 mpg
Nov: 30.1/5.1/5.8 on .495/.438/.938 in 34.7 mpg
Dec: 28.7/6.6/7.2 on .510/.447/.838 in 35.3 mpg
Jan: 27.2/4.3/6.6 on .495/.460/.952 in 31.7 mpg
Feb (up to 2/25): 35.7/5.9/7.4 on .545/.505/.900 in 34.3 mpg

What's crazy about Curry is that he shoots like someone who does absolutely nothing but practice shooting 24/7.
There are probably guys out there who can make free throws at +95% clips...but that's because they're "freak shows" who do nothing but that. Can't dribble or do anything else but shoot free throws.
There are professional long ball drivers (golfers) who can drive the ball further than pros can...but that's all they do (no short game, etc) and they also use specialized clubs.
Curry is like that with his outside shooting...like someone who does NOTHING but that. But, yet he does so much more...he's a complete player and even his defense is decent/good...and at the NBA level, guarding other pgs...that's saying something.
Just unreal. Every game, he makes the most ridiculous shots from distances that most people would call a horrible shot and for him, it's a good one.

I forgot the videos nane but they was talking about Curry workout for the draft or college. He came out before everyone else at least a hour and shot like 100 jumpers already from all around the court then he has to swish (no rim touching) five fts in a row before he leaves

That's been his routine for years. He's shooting before and after practice. Don't know if he still does this. But its what he's always done. He even got his team mates to do it.

Curry will go through a slump, but it will be because of an injury.

An extended slump? Not likely. He's just too good. He's reached the point that it's almost shocking when his shot doesn't go in, no matter how difficult or from what distance. He'll probably go through a mini-slump where some of the more ridiculous shots he normally makes aren't dropping. Beyond that, only an injury will slow him down.

Pathetic. Worst player in the league.

Korver went 0-18 during one stretch. Actually...it might have been more than 0-18 since I was only looking at his gamelog for this year and saw two games of like 0-8 and 0-10 back to back.
