When it comes to talking about the best shooters of all time, the one name that's separated from them all is none other than Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry.
Before the Warriors star, other NBA sharpshooters have held the title of the greatest shooter of all time. Players like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, and Jerry West, to name a few. Depending on what generation you ask, you could receive a different answer.
Once Curry claimed his spot as top dog, he took it a step further, literally, and changed the game forever. He started the logo three, which opened up the minds of players like Damian Lillard and Trae Young to perfect the shot as well.
As soon as Curry crosses half-court, defenders are locked in on him, and he knows it. With that in mind, would the Warriors' best player shoot it before crossing half court?
The answer is.
“No. Unless it's the last second,” Curry told ClutchPoints.
Although the two-time MVP hasn't thought about shooting it that deep yet, it doesn't mean it's entirely out of the picture.
“My first NBA game, I shot one three. I didn't shoot my 17th three till my 10th game. So imagine that now 12 years later, maybe in a couple of years. Who the hell knows what will happen. Stretching my imagination to the fullest but I'm not reckless though,” Curry said with a smile.
Stephen Curry has changed the NBA game in so many ways by evolving the three-point shot. He makes you wonder what he can't do when it comes to shooting the ball. Shooting threes beyond half-court regularly sounds insane, but so did shooting it from the logo a few years ago. When you're the greatest shooter to ever live, anything is possible.
