Who is the greatest shooter you have ever seen play basketball?
It should be an impossible question to answer.
Most of us would say it’s Steph Curry.
He’s the first guy I can remember making a 30-foot shot feel like a free throw, and a half court heave seem like a reasonable three.
He’s the face of the long-distance shooting revolution and is a pioneer in the sport.
Many of us would say he’s the greatest shooter of all time.
The label we have given Steph Curry is amazing.
Someone while sounding smart could choose Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, or Larry Bird.
You could pick from a couple hundred of people.
I’m sure Stephen didn’t always get over in Warriors practice.
Klay Thompson and KD could tell some stories.
I guarantee his 60-year-old head coach can still make that “swish” sound.
You think Curry survived every game of HORSE in his own backyard growing up?
His brother is 7th all time in NBA 3-point percentage.
His dad is 44th.
How can one person be the best shooter?
Everyone that plays basketball, shoots!
Glen Rice.
Shaq.
You.
Your neighbors.
College players.
Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes.
The WNBA.
Church ball action.
The guy from Hoosiers.
“Best shooter of all time?”
The label Steph Curry has earned is amazing.
