This season, he’s paced for another 400-plus and another record erasure. “He’s on his own level, one he made for himself.”Ĭurry in 2012-13 set the NBA seasonal mark for most 3-pointers with 272, then bested that two years later with 286, then went Uber-level with 402 in 2016. It is about to become one of those sports un-breakables if this trend by Curry continues, entering a domain filled with Wilt Chamberlain herculean feats, and once there it will surely collect dust, never to be approached in our lifetimes. His career 3-point record of 2,973 is about to be topped by Curry and then, health permitting, Curry will stretch it beyond recognition.
Allen cannot prevent the inevitable, not while sitting in his retirement rocker. When it comes to Steph, Ray Allen is helpless, too. “Only the greats can do that, leave their mark like that. “What he’s doing is revolutionary,” says Doc Rivers, the Philadelphia 76ers coach who’s had to game-plan against Curry for a decade. No shame in being a victim to the best to ever do it, to someone with a shot dipped in barbecue sauce, to someone who is leaving an everlasting impression on a sport that thought it had seen it all, and yet … It’s to the point where there’s no shame anymore, really. Oh, hell: It’ll happen in the next game as well, because certain nightly basketball assumptions seem safe, like sweat and fouls and Curry breaking the spirit of poor defenders who instinctively know their fate even before the sound of the swish. And the one before that one and the one before that one. This happened in the last Golden State Warriors game. Stephen Curry just launched another 3-point shot, and the game of basketball just took another rotative turn along with the Wilson that’s about to splash through the hoop.
Once it leaves his fingertips - always rolling off the tips with a familiar flick - it begins its spin and, much like the supermodel who sashays into the room, all eyes are locked on what looks like perfection. SAN FRANCISCO - The beauty is when the ball takes flight. Stephen Curry is on the cusp of surpassing Ray Allen to become the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.
