By now, we all know what Warriors star Stephen Curry is capable of when he’s on the basketball court. As the greatest shooter in NBA history, his play transformed the game as he dominated with the Golden State Warriors.
As the world’s most popular basketball simulation video game, you can imagine how tough it is for 2K sports to accurately portray Steph’s skills from beyond the arc. This year, in the latest installment of the NBA 2K series, Curry has further separated himself from the field — and Ronnie 2K says he has ‘broken’ the game.
“He keeps beating other NBA players by 100 threes a season. So like, what do you do about that? Like when he made 402 threes in 2016, we didn’t have that big of a discrepancy, but we should have probably,” said Ronnie. “You know what I mean? The guy has broken our video game.”

Curry’s 99 3-point rating is a whopping 11 points higher than the second-best shooter in the game, and it speaks volumes to just how amazing Curry is from deep.
It also speaks volumes about how much the game has changed in recent years.
Three-Point Revolution Has Changed The NBA Forever
Curry took the NBA by storm in 2015, which is the year the Dubs won their first title. At that point, Steph was just a 1x All-Star who was still mostly unproven. In the months, and years, that would follow, however, Curry mastered his shooting ability and inspired a shift in the way the game is played.
“I mean, the NBA game now is better. But all the lower levels are terrible. You got to a high school game and a college game, and you see like really untalented people shoot it from 40 feet, and you’re just like, what is this? But if they make it, it’s beautiful.”
In a lot of ways, Steph Curry broke the sport of basketball and we are still seeing the impact his rise to stardom had on the game.
This season, Curry is up to the same old tricks and is looking to help his team repeat as Champions for the first time since 2018. Through 31 games so far, he’s averaging 29.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game on 48% shooting.
