Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr thinks Stephen Curry's otherworldly 3-point shooting could continue throughout the rest of the 2018-19 season.
Curry entered Wednesday's game with the Toronto Raptors shooting an even 50 percent from long range in making 91 of his 182 attempts this season.
His impressive shooting numbers have wowed plenty of people in the basketball world, including his own coach, who isn't exactly a stranger to great outside shooting.
Here's what Kerr had to say about Curry's ability to shoot at such a percentage, courtesy of Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle:
“You would expect it to be from a guy who’s just going to stand there, be wide open and shoot three of them a game. There have been a couple guys who have done that,” Kerr said with a smirk, prompting laughter from the assembled reporters.
“But in terms of flying around like Steph does, shooting off the dribble, shooting the volume of threes that he does, shooting the halfcourt shots at the end of quarters, fearlessly, it’s almost impossible to do that over the course of a season. But I don’t put anything past Steph, that’s for sure.”
Kerr makes an excellent point about all the different ways that Curry can score, and that will continue to help him have an advantage over defenders.
The Warriors would love to have another superb 3-point shooting display from their star guard in the game against the Raptors, as Golden State looks to avenge its overtime loss in Toronto from a few weeks ago. However, at the time of this writing, the Raptors are taking care of business at halftime.
