How do you go from amazing shooter in early 2015 to greatest of all time BY FAR shooter in a couple months. How does this happen?

Confidence?

We talkin about practice?

No for 2014

He shot 43% as a rookie and besides injury has been constantly improving since Day 1

This didn't happen overnight.

He has always had the 3 ball even in college. He single handedly took his obscure school pretty far in the NCAA tournament upsetting Gonzaga and Georgetown IIRC. Of course not many thought he could do it in the NBA. He was drafted into a team with a bunch of drama but still managed to have a good rookie season. But soon after, the ankle problems popped up. Once he overcame those issues worked hard on improving his handles which he did not have coming into the league. Just a combination of building on his foundation, hard work and experience.

He's always had confidence but Kerr usually kept his shooting in check. With Kerr being out for most of the season Steph was able to play the way he wanted.

Curry instantly became better after they traded shot chucking Ellis. Warriors fans were mad at first when management got rid of Ellis.:oldlol: They used to boo the GM for that all the time smh.

And Ellis was a fan favorite

The following perfect storm:

Gained muscle
Supreme confidence in ability
Continual ball handling improvement
Continual expansion of range (strength related)
Klay improved
Green improved
Team is supremely confident and full of weapons
Team as a whole spreads defenses very thin
Perennial championship team rapport and chemistry

I think Harden should've been MVP last year, and Curry obviously totally deserves it this season. No arguments elsewhere.

His skills were always there, they came from endless hours of drilling things that others only try in a game of Horse.

The breakthrough came when he began intensive strength training, along with adjusting his posture during quick movements. It allowed his muscles to take the majority of the stress away from his ailing ankles. His increased strength also allowed for minor improvements in his overall game in many other ways

He was pretty easily the best long distance shooter for a few years before this. He's just improving like every player should, it's just that his starting point was already GOAT-tier (as a shooter).

This. I was going to write my five points of benefits but you beat me to it.

Optimal System/coach/chemistry
Near optimal support cast that knows how to set picks and punish when he's defended.
Confidence
Great spacing
Just as his peak hit

I don't think someone just gets as confident as Curry. imo, he's easily the most confident (good) player in the NBA right now. That doesn't happen overnight or even over a few seasons. Had to always be there and I'd guess his ankles were holding him back.

I'd say:
Staying healthy
Perfect team for him (both teammates and in scheme)
Improved handles and playmaking.

The first two being key.
