5 Insane facts about Stephen Curry’s 2018-19 season
By Tony Pesta
1. Efficiency
Stephen Curry is as efficient as they come. His efficiency on the offensive end is something that we have rarely seen in the NBA. His shooting percentages rival any other great shooter the league has ever offered and his production is equally as high.
Right now, Curry is shooting 49.7 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from the 3-point line. This is the fourth highest percentage of any players attempting at least three 3-pointers a game. Curry is the only player in the entire league shooting above 45 percent from deep while also attempting over five 3-pointers a game. In fact, only three other players in this group are even shooting above 40 percent.
Steph is attempting 10.7 3-pointers a game. In the history of the league, only 13 players have attempted more than eight a game for a whole season.
Of these players, Steph stands alone as the first player to shoot above 45 percent from deep. Basically, he is taking more shots from deep than anyone ever has while also shooting a better percentage than anyone else.

His accuracy from deep is off the chain. There simply is not a better shooter from the 3-point line. Steph has proven that he is the greatest shooter of all-time and this season is turning into just another ridiculous chapter in his book.
