Steph Curry three-point record

Steph Curry owns nearly every three-point record imaginable And, if he doesn’t have it yet, he’s well on his way. That’s why he’s the greatest to ever shoot the rock.

This is now his fourth All-Star Game and he hasn’t particularly shot the ball well in any of them, despite draining a near half court shot last year in Toronto. Of course, the game isn’t really taken seriously, but it’s time for him to really attack. Curry should chase the All-Star Game’s single-game three-point record.

Curry doesn’t need a lot of room to break a record. You definitely don’t want to give him a second chance as an opponent. It would be really awesome for him to surpass the mark, set by Paul George last year, in the place he played his first All-Star Game in.

In 2014, Curry went just 2/111 from three. He would need to make nine to tie the record and 10 to break it. For a guy that can shoot the ball like him in a game like this, that’s nothing.

Few players can bounce back like Curry can. Earlier this season, he made an NBA-record 13 three-pointers in a single game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The game before that he missed all 10 of his attempts from the beyond the arc against the Los Angeles Lakers. Improving from 2 to 10 doesn’t seem impossible.

The All-Star Game is meaningless. The stats don’t really mean much either until we get to the end of a player’s career. Then, for whatever reason, those numbers get looked at.

Curry, for the most part, has struggled. It’d be nice if he can get himself in the record books. And, to be fair, that’s what All-Star Games are about. We want to see the best players display their top skills with ease.

Things are better when Steph Curry is splashing threes from everywhere.
