He's on pace to make 418 threes this year, which would break his own single season record of 286. Damn.

Official Steph Curry is GOAT thread
- Thread starter lakercat
- Start date
The greatest hits tour continues. Curry is now shooting 52.7 % and 47.0% from the three. He splashed NINE threes for the second time; this is the SIXTH game with eight threes or more. The Raptors were close, but a crucial choke at the line, and a failure to box out lost them this game. Curry gets 44 more points. He has a 71 percent true shooting percentage; let that sink in. The greatest hits tour continues tomorrow at six. He had hit TEN consecutive threes, and 17 out of 18 FG's bridging the end of the last game, and the beginning of today's game. He DID miss twice at the line today, so he IS human, I suppose.
I will say this about curry...I never imagined him playing at this level. He is absolutely killing it right now. I mean he is just silly with what he is doing to the art of shooting. He is the best in the game right now, I never thought I'd type those words with players like LBJ, AD and KD...but Steph is clearly better than all of them right now...A ten year run like this with 4-5 rings and he could be in the discussion of GOAT. But not at this point.
wait what? why does he need 10 year run like this, when this run is one of the best run of all time...maybe 2 or 3...his performance is just insane right now.
I want to say he can't keep it up, but i don't want to doubt him.
Jordan didn't have a jump shot outside of 15 feet and shot post player percentages. Later, he became a pretty good shooter from 3. All this with a ton more rough play in the league.
Curry is maybe the best non stationary 3pt shooter of all time but GOAT he is not.
The Curry Pain-Train rolled through Brooklyn, with Curry going 11-17, including 5-9 threes. He was able to get 5 layups tonight. He is now shooting an INSANE 53.2 percent, and 47.2 percent from the three. He did, however, MISS THREE FREE-THROWS in a row, according to ESPN. He is still shooting 72 percent on true FG%. Jordan is envious right now. The Curry Pain Train makes a stop in Indianapolis on Tuesday. The Greatest hits tour will continue in Boston and Milwaukee on Friday and Saturday. I predict a 55-50-90 type season for Curry.
What I love about Curry is that he looks like that kid at the summer camp who gets to play the pro at the camp, and keeps throwing up all these crazy shots that keep going on. You think, eventually, he won't keep making those once the pro gets serious, but that's the thing. He is doing it against the best of the best, and they are serious.
Lol, 82-0?
Curry was only ok for Curry tonight. 3 for 11 from 3. Thompson was on fire. Paul George with another nice night.
UM, because if you are the GOAT...you have to sustain excellence over a long period of time.
Well, the Greatest Show on Earth has a homecoming tour for the next five shows. A group from Phoenix will open the show, and the boys from Cleveland will help accentuate the Greatest show on Earth on Christmas. Curry to give us a Christmas to remember. 79-3!
He is very good... Makes want to watch some old Davidson games on Youtube, when he looked 15.
Pretty amazing. He had a 2:00 minute stretch last night where scored 8 pts. and had 2 assists.

I watched that game last night. I've NEVER seen shooting like that, and I used to watch the Lakers and Celtics in the 80s, with Bird and McHale. Curry and Thompson are almost inhuman. When I watch them play, all I can think about is, "How long can they keep this up? Because this is legendary stuff."
Tonight, we witnessed a masterpiece from the GOAT. It's pretty clear that the debate has been settled. The Warriors should have won by 60, but took it easy and won by 34 instead. He started 9-11 and 5-6 on threes, and he finished with another 35 points. Golden State is the Greatest of all-time, thanks to the GOAT leading them to another title. Will they get 77 wins?

Curry continues to add to his legendary status, with yet another triple double. Once again, he hits EIGHT three-point shots, and is still firmly in the 50-40-90 club. In the next few years, we may have to have a 60-50-95 club, just for Steph. This is about the tenth or eleventh game that Curry has made eight or more three-point shots. More impressively, he has never shot below 50% in those games. He also hit a half-court shot to beat the halftime buzzer. Yawn. Don't miss Steph Curry and the Record Breakers when they play the Spurs and Mavs. After which, their tour continues in Philly, the Big Apple, and in our nation's capital. Step might outscore Philly by himself.
I hate to do this, but Steph just gave us another reason why he is the GOAT. He scored 51 points tonight in another Warriors blowout (yawn). He hit an insane 7-8 threes in the first quarter, and started the game 13-14 from the field, and 8-9 threes. If he got the calls Jordan got, and played as much as Jordan did, he might be AVERAGING 45 points per game. He finishes with 51 points on 19-28 shooting, including 11-16 from the three. Unfortunately, he DID miss a free-throw tonight, thereby, ending his streak. Sadly, the Greatest ever doesn't play until Saturday, where he will lead them to another blowout win over a top team (yawn, again). The 1996 Bulls would be fortunate to win more than two games against this juggernaut. There are only three more chances to witness greatness before the all-star break. I predict 10 threes in the all-star game. Wall had a nice game too, but for God sakes, Washington, play some defense. I'm a Lakers fan, but the truth is the truth.
What separates Jordan and Lebron from Curry right now is sustained greatness. If Curry keeps this up, he'll be at that level.
