This... this was Charles Barkley before the Curry Warriors completely revolutionized the entire game of basketball as we know it. And can we really fault Chuck for this take? Before Curry, it was almost a fact that you needed elite mid-range/post game/traditional big men to win a championship and that jump shooting based offenses were way too inconsistent to be able to win anything. That the style of jump shooting in and of itself, was too inconsistent to be able to win.
Now look at how the game is viewed. Just a few short years later, every single team is hunting down 3pt shooters and shooting 60-70 3pters a game. Just a few short years later, Curry and the Warriors COMPLETELY changed the recipe for success in the NBA today. Curry essentially turned up to down and down to up. He flipped the very logic for success that was followed for decades.
Curry will absolutely demolish 99.99% of shooting records but that is only a small piece of his overall legacy. The entire landscape of the NBA was changed mainly due to Curry. People who will say "nah it was Morey", sure, he had the idea, he had the theory. But what Curry did, what Curry brought to reality as one singular player, Morey never could have dreamed of this type of player existing with even his wildest imagination. No one thought this level of shooting skill could ever be obtained.
Curry will go down as the most impactful player of the '10s.
