Just a shooter?

No one has ever scored more in an overtime period than Stephen Curry. At 33, he is on another MVP-caliber season, leading his squad to the best record in the NBA. And he is not slowing down.

The three-ball, with smooth mechanics and fearlessness, will always be his trademarks. Yet, Curry is a bona fide complete scorer, maybe one of the greatest bucket-getters to ever play the sport.

Steph is a crafty finisher at the rim and the all-time leader in free throw percentage, which is a great combination. Also, he shoots over 43% for his career in every mid-range area of the floor. Another area in which Stephen Curry deserves more recognition is his ball-handling skills.

Steph has a rare combination of quickness, flair, body control, and floor awareness to create separation. He has one of the most efficient handles in basketball history, with a solid case to be the GOAT in this department.

That is something that places him into a select group of great playmakers. Steph is everything but a one-dimensional player.
