#1 Stephen Curry

2018 NBA Finals - Game Two

The cherry on top of this 3-point sundae is "surprisingly" enough Steph Curry. The man who crossed 400 made 3-pointers in a single season when nobody else crossed 300; the man who broke an 11-year-old record of 3-pointers made in a single game with 13; the man who earned the description "the greatest shooter who ever lived".

Watching Steph play is enough, to sum up the change that occurred in basketball. Curry has trained his whole life to create a perfect shot; he is taking and dropping shots that were previously considered terrible; he is consistently moving off-ball, getting rid of defenders and taking advantage of perfectly set down screens.

Even though he struggled with some nagging injuries in recent years, Steph can still perform in big moments. He added another record to his record book with nine 3-pointers in a single NBA Finals game.

After reaching 90 3-pointers and closing the gap for most in the NBA Finals, Curry is getting closer to the top of the all-time 3-point leaderboard, to which he will probably get eventually. Until then, the 2-time MVP, 4-time All-NBA and 5-time All-Star will continue to lead his Golden State Warriors towards what's seems like one of the biggest dynasties in NBA history.
