Ranking Stephen Curry's top 3 NBA seasons based on 3-point shooting efficiency
Stephen Curry is not your regular point guard, as he is undoubtedly one of the greatest shooters the NBA has ever seen. It is impressive when one considers the fact the Golden State Warriors star makes most of his shots off the dribble rather than catch and shoot.
The 2009 NBA Draft seventh overall pick has spent all his years so far with the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry has shot his way to three NBA championships, two MVP awards, two scoring titles, and is a member of the 50-40-90 club.
In all but one season, Stephen Curry has shot over 40% from deep. Again, some are contested off-the-dribble shots, while a good number are from over 30 feet. Knocking such difficult shots takes a lot of technique and innate shooting ability.
