Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry are both known as lethal shooters in the NBA, but Steph gets more recognition due to his impressive production for the Dubs.
Despite that, in an episode of The Rex Chapman Show, Dell Curry said that the Sixers marksman feels like he is a better shooter than Steph right now.
Dell Curry on @RexChapman's podcast: "[Seth] will tell you, 'I'm a better shooter than Steph, he just gets more shots than I do. He has free reign. He touches the ball more, but I'm a better shooter than him right now.' That's Seth's mentality right now.”pic.twitter.com/YuwQyyIoRs

Everyone knows that Stephen Curry is arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history, altering how basketball is played with how well he converts outside shots. Throughout his career with the Warriors, Steph has led the league in 3-pointers made in six seasons (including this 2020-21).

As for Seth Curry, while he hasn't managed to stick with the same team in consecutive seasons in his career, he has been one of the most efficient shooters from outside. In his seven seasons in the NBA, the Sixers guard has made a whopping 44.1 percent of his three-pointers, which is the second-most in NBA history.
There's no doubt that Steph has had a better career in the NBA and is the better overall player. However, Seth believes he's just as talented as his older brother and he has just never gotten the chance to have a prominent role in the NBA, even after his move with the Sixers where he plays behind Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
With that being said, Seth is making a case for himself as one of the best shooters in league history.
