Steph Curry is second leading scorer in the NBA at 29.5ppg, 66% TS

[superduper]

I heard Curry and Derek Fisher are similar players?

On some real shit though, is that level of scoring production/difficulty/range/efficiency even remotely close to being real from a jump shooter?

And this is without next to zero help from the refs as compared to other star players. Curry is easily the most impactful player of the '10s and will be remembered as revolutionizing the game of basketball. Media opinions will never change that.

Curry made this era and the NBA worse by popularizing the 3-point shot.

Now every team chucks a million threes a game and it's terrible.

Curry is 3 tiers above the next best shooters in history. For anyone to try to copy that is absolutely insane and they should blame themselves for trying to replicate such a divine level of play.

How would he do in the 90s?

With a shortened 3 point line Curry would easily average 40ppg

This is one of the biggest lies ever told about Steph curry. He didn't revolutionize the game. Daryl morey did. He's the reason for all the threes now. He came with the analytics behind shooting alot of threes in the early 2010's way before curry was a great player and only shooting 4 threes a game.
In 2011 Houston and warriors were at the middle of the pack in attepts putting up 20 threes a game each. Curry was only in his 3rd year not in video game mode yet scoring 14 pts a game on 4 threes a game.
The following year Morey and the rockets implemented there 3 point strategy and we're 1st in three attempts, shooting 10 more then the previous year while curry and Golden State where 13th in attempts shooting the same amount as the previous year and 10 less then houston. Every year after that curry and the warriors followed Houston blue print and started shooting more and more threes.
Houston has been first in 3pa ever since they started the fad except for 2015 when Golden State finally caught up and we're first and Houston was second.
I know it's sexier pretending that curry started the 3 point revolution buts it's just not true. He definitely perfected it and did it better than Houston for a while there but he didn't change the game. Morey did.

And he's a pushover. They'd take his lunch money every game if Donkey Draymond Green wasn't there to protect him.

So you're saying that Curry translates to the 90s better than Le 3/9?

Thanks for playing.

You're both wrong.

The Bad Boy Pistons and Rudy T's Rockets with Hakeem, Horry, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, and Mad Max were among the first teams to weaponize and revolutionize emphasis on the three point shot.

Well He definitely didn't revolutionize college basketball and his first 3 years in the league he only averaged 4 threes a game. Him and the warriors didn't start shooting alot of threes until Morey and the rockets started doing it. Chef definitely popularized it because of the degree of difficulty of his shots but more and his 3 point analytics changed the game. There's numerous articles and stats to back it up it's not even debatable

Lol at bad boy pistons they took like 6 threes a game so hell no on that idea.
Rudy t's rockets definitely starting shooting more threes then the rest of the NBA at the time and it did lead to a little spike in threes but I wouldn't say they revolutionized it. After there few year run league averages actually went back down for 5 or 6 years and didn't go up much after that.
Daryl moreys impact was much greater. In the 5 or 6 years since he came up with the analytics of why teams should shoot more threes league averages have gone up every year. In that 6 year span league averages went from 18 to 31.
Its not even debatable.

Six was a lot for the time. You have to consider personnel as well.

Daryl Morey did have an impact but in my opinion we have to consider other factors such as rule changes and the disappearance of the big man.

The numbers that Morey used are indicative of the fact that the rules have allowed more players freedom to run and gun and jack up more threes since you are forced to give them more and more space to shoot.
