Steph Curry’s Top 10 plays of 2015-16

3. 400th three-pointer

Just looking at it, this play wasn’t particularly special. Compared to what Steph Curry can do, this was nothing. It was pretty ordinary.

He came around a screen and Andrew Bogut found him in the corner. He used his quick release to launch the three as Matt Barnes closed out. It went in nothing but net.

The shot itself was all right. He got free showed just how little time he needs to get a shot off. But this play is number three because of the significance.

That three was Curry’s 400th of the season. He completely shattered his previous record of 286. He showed that he is, without a doubt, the greatest shooter to lace them up.

No one had ever even made 300 in a season before. The most Ray Allen hit was 269. The fact that he made 400 is ridiculous and mostly unfathomable.

Making 400 when the record is 286 is like trying to make a diorama of the solar system for a school project and then, somehow, discovering a new planet. It’s like if someone tried to break Barry Bonds’ single season home run record (oddly enough, he hit 73 dingers) and knocked out 200 of them. It’s more than just impressive.

It’s a spectacular feat. It was something that seemed impossible. Hitting 300 would have been spectacular and a really incredible display of shooting. To hit 400 felt beyond what a basketball player could actually do.

But he did it and cemented himself as the best to ever shoot a basketball.
