No one can argue with the fact that Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history. Curry has been truly incredible throughout the course of his career and has transformed the NBA in a way that very few before him have been able to do. Stephen Curry could be considered the most influential player of his generation.
One person who is constantly amazed by Stephen Curry is none other than rapper 2 Chainz. During an appearance on the ‘All The Smoke’ podcast, 2 Chainz spoke about how incredible Stephen Curry is as a shooter. He jokingly remarked that Curry makes shooting look so easy that he wouldn’t be surprised if Curry was shooting the ball with his eyes closed.
“Man Steph literally looks like he’s throwing the ball in. And sometimes… it becomes a form like, when its by the rim its like a goose neck. From here it just looks like he just launching that, to just know where the rim is. Man, he literally can do this, I feel like, with one eye. I feel like that motherf*cker can shoot with one eye man. He know where that motherf*cker is.”
Because of Stephen Curry, many players and teams have begun shooting three-pointers. Using the three-pointer as the primary offensive tool, teams have begun focusing on perimeter play more than the interior. But while there are players who are really good shooters, none of them are quite at the level of Stephen Curry. Curry can make the seemingly impossible look casual.
Currently, Curry is the NBA’s all-time leader for three-pointers. He broke that record a few months ago at Madison Square Garden. Curry is expected to be the leader until he retires, and as things stand, only 5 players in the NBA are on track to surpass Stephen Curry for most three-pointers in NBA history.
