Steph Curry is the Greatest Shooter of All Time

There have been a lot of players who been really good at shooting the basketball. Steph Curry is one of them. In this video, I make the case that he's the greatest shooter of all time... (among other things).

[@navvyeanand2083]

Tim Duncan is better defensively than wallace due to his longevity and consistent efforts.

[@javierlandaverde4108]

What was crazy was, there was a play early in the game where Curry got passed Westbrook's awful defense, and Westbrook came back to block the shot but landed on Curry's ankle and Curry couldn't move. Went to lockerroom and I had been worried without CUrry, Warriors wouldn't beat OKC. Then he came back and perform elite, outshining Kevin Durant, Westbrook or Klay Thompson to get the Win. Most influential player of this generation.

My first NBA game I ever sat down and actually watched, was that game on February 27th, 2016. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with too. I remember watching Steph Curry sink in three after three, wondering "is this normal? do players normally drain in this many threes?" As that GSW vs OKC game being my first game to sit down and watch, I enjoyed every moment of it, especially that final three pointer from 35+ feet for the win. I immediately became an NBA fan, as well as a Stephen Curry fan that very day.

That OKC game man. Before Steph shot it, I was like dude if I were that good, I would just pull it up man. Then he did. The weird feeling that when you watch a movie that the good guy always wins and it is kind of expected but in combination of realizing that this is not staged but with the same expected outcome. You realize that this dude is so good that it's unfair.
