Stephen Curry- Underrated ✦ Official
Consider this: Before Curry, the most three-pointers made in a season was 286 (Ray Allen). Curry blew past that by 116 shots. That is like someone breaking the single-season home run record by 40 homers. It broke the sport. Defenses literally changed overnight. The now shoots more threes than the record-setting 2016 Warriors.

It was not screens. It was pure, isolated, "give me the ball and get out of the way" creation.
Curry is not a shooter. He is a force of nature who happens to shoot.
