Because Stephen is making 3's at the highest rate in NBA History?
Speaking of, Kobe, who has missed more shots than anyone in NBA History (talk about coaches letting someone shoot in volume, Iverson too) may someday be passed by Curry on the All-Time points scored list with fewer shot attempts and minutes / games played.
I'm not aware of the "twitter" war which you mentioned, but Isiah Thomas carrier numbers, according to
Basketball-Reference, are more comparable to:
Earl Monroe
Derek Harper
Stephon Marbury
Steve Smith
Joe Dumars
Jason Terry
Thru six years,
Stephen Curry's carrier is more comparable to:
Tiny Archibald
Dwayne Wade
John Stockton
Gilbert Arenas
Clyde Drexler
The biggest difference between the two, Curry is just reaching his "peak" and has the opportunity to become a much better player.
Some fun All-Star festivity stats:
Curry & Thompson are the first teammates to win the 3-point shootout in consecutive seasons.
Thompson had 27 points in the final round to tie the single-round record Curry set last year. The previous record of 25 was set in 1986 by Craig Hodges and tied by Jason Kapono in 2008. Keep in mind that the money-ball rack (with four additional points) was introduced in 2014.
Thompson is the sixth player to win the Three-Point Contest as a member of the team with the best record at the All-Star break. He prevented Curry from joining Larry Bird as the only reigning MVPs to win the Three-Point Contest.
In Vegas (or your local bookie), the total in tonight's NBA All-Star Game is 318.5 points......it opened at 305.
