Stephen Curry break Ray Allen's single season 3 point record!

He's at 240 right now! he has 7 games to make 30 threes and the record is his!! :eek:

will that happen?

Unless he makes 4-5 threes a game than no. Funny thing is he probably won't even play all 7 games. That fragility.

Dude he's taking 7.5 threes per game.

i see it happening.

hope he does it :applause:

His last 7 games he's made 32 3pters...

Not out of reach. I don't know if Allen missed games that season, but really sure Curry has this year. Pretty impressive.

Doing it on 45% like a boss :pimp:

Hold on let me get my time machine I will let you know.

Do they play the Heat before the end of the season? Because I can see LeBron/Wade/Battier totally hounding him all game and leaving other people open just to help Ray keep the record, even if it costs them the game.

:wtf:

I cheer for him to break that record.

Allen played 78 games that season so yes he missed four games.

It's not to early to start putting him on the g.o.a.t. shooters list

I can see him sitting out at least 1 more game the remainder of the season, so no i dont think he'll get it this season. But i can see him getting it and then getting it again at some point in his career, given he stays healthy.

He got a shot!!!!

DO IT CURRY!

:rockon:

hope he does it. hate ray allen with a passion

His father's shot was legendary, I wish I could see a shootout between the two in their primes.

3 3s so far today. needs to average just over 4 for the record.

When he's 1 or 2 away from the record look for his opponent to foul him on every shot :lol

Nah, hopefully not.

I see him taking 10+ the next few games though, I don't mind, he deserves it.

I'm rooting for him to do it, but I'd bet against it. He's got to make 4.2 a game to break the record.

If he doesn't do it this year though, he's got plenty more years in his prime to try. If he manages to stay healthy and play 76+ games a year (big if), he'll probably end up breaking it at some point.

Curry can definitely make more than 4 3's a game. It's going to be close.

I'd say this is the best 3point shooting season by any player of all time, factoring in volume and percent.

:applause:

and he creates alot of 3s for himself

Curry may be the best 3 point [U][B]scorer[/B][/U] ever. Notice I say scorer. There are lots of great 3 point shooters, but Steph scores in volumes with his threes.

Let's go Curry!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Against the suns, he made 3 of them.

This makes it a bit harder now he's got to hit more these last 6 games.

haven't seen you here in a min
seems like you were well ahead of the curve of Ray Allen hating, well before it became the cool thing to do in Boston.

[QUOTE=inclinerator]and he creates alot of 3s for himself[/QUOTE]

He's the best at creating threes since Ray. Ray used to take a lot of threes off the dribble.

Again, we're forgetting that Ray Allen was once upon a time more than just a guy running around screens.

Any1 notice his shot is heavily influenced by his dad's?

Dell's feet would barely leave the floor and same thing with Stephen's.

I would choose curry's shot technique over Ray Allen's.

Dude's stroke is just WET. Would love to see him break the record. He has one of the prettiest offensive games in the league IMO.

If he plays every game the rest of the year, he's going to finish with 78 GP, which is how many Ray played in '05-'06 when he set the record. But, at his current clip of 7.5 3P/G, Curry would tie or break the record on about 80 fewer 3PA than Ray. Of course since he needs to average 4.5 made 3's per game over the final 6 games to break the record, he'll likely take 8-10 3P/G if he's really gunning for it. Also, comparing Allen's shooting percentages in the year he broke the record to Curry's this year: Allen shot .454/.412/.903 and .590 TS% and .544 eFG%; Curry's shooting .449/.454/.897 and .587 TS% and .545 eFG%.

Either way, he's had a phenomenal season. Like Ray, he's really made "the jump" in his 4th season. Allen went from averaging 17-4-4-1 in his 3rd season to 22-4-4-1 in his 4th year. I'm just going to combine his last 2 seasons since he only played in 26 games last year, but Curry's gone from averaging 18-4-6-1.5 last year and the year before, to averaging 23-4-7-1.5 this year.

Their numbers are almost eerily similar.

Retrospectively, would Curry have been a better talent and fit for the 2012 US team in London?

I am LOLing at Deron Williams being on that squad and stink in it up

I think he definitely would have.

It would be cool but if he will not accomplish it, it is still good knowing that he is shooting at a good percentage at 3 pt line :). 453%

How can a little boy who doesn't even shave yet be so deadly from 3?

f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck what i said.

Curry is at a pace to break Ray Allen's all time record if his ankles hold up.

Ray's record is 269 from the 05-06 season.

Stephen is at: 261 with 2 games left.

Totally realistic he could beat it.

He hit 9 threes against the Lakers last night.

Curry should have this one in the bag. I cant see him not going for it



Rest in peace to Ray's record :bowdown:
