Curry is the greatest shooter ever

[Big Bear]

Lakerboy let me get this straight

so one minute you are sucking him off?

and the next you are throwing down 100 unit air bets against him?

[Seto]

Clay Thompson is not a max player

Average guard

GSW loses 55 games without Curry

Not that this is news to anyone but you're an idiot... SMH.

[Seto]

is this even serious? hahahahahahahaha.

You guys forgot DeAndre Jordan, he had the highest FG percentage in the league

I can understand not agreeing but laughing it off and saying it's like comparing him to Deandre Jordan? Do you even know who Dirk is?

[jjgold]

Clay Thompson just a jump shooter

Take Curry away and he is a nobody

Stax is a fukkin idiot especially about hoops. Lakerboy and wizzle would annihilate him.

Lakerboy and T-Wizzle don't even gamble.

Its obvious they dont. They would have to be millionaires to withstand some of these losses and keep coming back firing.

anyone that says Dirk Nowitzki is the greatest shooter of all time is a moran. that was my point, sorry you missed the sarcasm, better luck next time

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

In my year or so on SBR I have learned that a whole lot of people that seem like they know what they are talking about are completely clueless.

NEVER TAIL ANYONE

Over 9 million millionaires in the U.S.

"Missed the sarcasm"? The stupidity of posters on this site is truly without borders sometimes. Reread my post. It's obvious I understood your post was sacrastic. What I'm questioning is why you think this is such a ridiculous comparison. Once again, are you aware of Dirk's body of work in this league?

[STAX]

Reggie: 47.1% FG, 39.5% 3pt, 88.8% FT (totals: 8241/2560/6237)
Steph: 47.1% FG, 44.0% 3pt, 90.0% FT (totals: 3109/1191/1305)

Steph better percentages all the way around, and almost half way there in FG and 3pt totals in only 5 seasons.

[Big Bear]

wow that is a surprising stat.

maybe Lakerboy and T-Wizzle are millionaires...

however i think if they were they would be better off investing that money in something different b/c they are totally out of control lunatics when it comes to sports.

Every single game its take the Underdog on the ML and the Points.

They would be up a lot more units just by quit taking the ML's. It cuts into your profit like a dagger and these +350 ML's and higher rarely ever hit

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Lakerboy lives in Canada where pretty much everyone over the age of 35 is a millionaire.

[STAX]

Im well aware of Dirk and his career... he's not the best shooter of all time, not even close. Maybe top 20...

[STAX]

Curry will end his career with a giant lead in 3pointers made (He may hit 4000), he will be over 40% easily, 90% from the line, while FG% will probably be the same.

[Seto]

I just don't think it's ridiculous to put him in the conversation.

Do I think he's the best shooter of all time though? Probably not. Steph is probably the best I've seen.

[upscope]

yeah but reggie miller had that swagger

Curry has no street credit b/c he was born with the golden spoon

So Miller was a better shooter not because of his actual shot but because of his "swagger" & "street cred"

Find a new hobby kid.....

[STAX]

I actually just looked at his stats, not that ridiculous you're right... its just I put the most weight on 3 pt % when it comes to best shooters ever. Dirk is 38.3% lifetime, Curry is 44%. That gap just makes it no contest. Its really not a contest with anyone though. Curry far and away the best shooter ever imo, and I fukkin hate the guy

[STAX]

Show me a player with a 5 year stretch of 44% 3 pt (with over 1000 made 3's) all while shooting 90% at the line and 47% from the field... I doubt you can do it.

[INVEGA MAN]

I agree. They say he is shooting 66% 3 pointers shooting from the left corner. Surreal

[STAX]

Curry made like 90 in a row in practice.... 3 pointers that is

[texhooper]

it's easy to want to hold on to the guys you grew up with but as long as curry has a long career doing what he's doing now, there's no question he will go down as the best shooter ever. he's got a ways to go though but shooting does tend to age well.

[will2survive]

Reggie: 47.1% FG, 39.5% 3pt, 88.8% FT (totals: 8241/2560/6237)
Steph: 47.1% FG, 44.0% 3pt, 90.0% FT (totals: 3109/1191/1305)

Steph better percentages all the way around, and almost half way there in FG and 3pt totals in only 5 seasons.

If I needed a game winning 3 pointer, Reggie Miller is the man. These statistics mean nothing.

[jjgold]

Its a no brainer men

Miller did not have the entire package like Curry does

[jtoler]

Thought this was fact last year. All you have to do is watch. It's crazy that Warriors have two guys at same time who shoot out of this world, greatest shooting combo in history already if you ask me.

agree 100%...thompson might be mentioned on the mount rushmore of alltime shooters when he is done. Could very well be Curry, Klay, Ray Allen, and Reggie on it.

[STAX]

Ray Allen made more 3's and shot higher percentage than Reggie too.

Curry, Ray and Reggie top 3. All are basically 40% 3's and 90% FTs

Here's a guy who hasnt gotten mentioned:

Steve Nash

49% FG 42.8% 3pt 90.4% FTs for career... doesnt have the volume but those percentages are impressive. Definately on the Mt. Rushmore of best PGs of all time... had 5 straight seasons in the 50/40/90 club if you count the year he shot .899 from the line

[will2survive]

Nobody's talking about an entire package. They're talking about "best shooter". Miller is the better shooter

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Its a different game than when Reggie played. Comparing across eras can be a fruitless pursuit.

During Reggie Miller's prime, 93-94 to 97-98 lets say, the league average for 3PA was between 800 and 1300.

This past season the average number of 3PA each team took was 1836 with 13 teams shooting over 2000 attempts from 3. The rockets took over 2600 three point attempts this past season. From 93-98 only one team ever shot more than 2000 3PAs in a season (95/96 Mavs)

Reggie may have been a better shooter but the way offenses were run, we never would have known. Stephen Curry shot over 600 3P attempts this year. That is more attempts than the entire Indiana Pacers team shot in 93/94

[upscope]

Yep, no need to look @ %'s.....they mean nothing

[lakerboy]

The only question that remains is did I jinx curry?

[jtoler]

I watched Reggie play a lot, mostly the playoff years though. Wasn't shocked when he'd miss shots, I'm kinda shocked when Steph misses, especially if it isn't rushed. Used to feel same way about Reddick at Duke, he was automatic there.

[jjgold]

Anyone that watches basketball realizes this is a no-brainer

[mikemca]

I have watched the nba since 1977. I have never seen a shooter like this guy. In your face- swish.

I don't watch espn. I don't watch sports. Hawks are not winning 15 playoff games.

Oh the irony. Is the nba any different?


You couldn't pay me to watch an nba game.

No clue dom. I don't look at any stats or any info when making nba bets except the last few games played currently and what's coming ahead. I don't have time to cap or watch this bullshit product.

It's not just your bets that are full of hot air





However I do agree.Combine the fact that he can get his shot off in a millisecond and I'd take him over anyone.

[terrortwylight]

Anyone that watches basketball realizes this is a no-brainer

Right?

Reggie would go on amazing hot streaks where he couldn't miss.. we all remember the Spike Lee game, etc. I grew up watching Reggie all the time. Great shooter all of the time, occasionally amazing.

I've seen Steph Curry play many amazing games all the way through and he's only been in the league like 5 years. AND I don't watch nearly as much NBA as I did when I was a kid. I gotta say Curry is a better shooter.
