Stephen Curry is not your regular point guard, as he is undoubtedly one of the greatest shooters the NBA has ever seen. It is impressive when one considers the fact the Golden State Warriors star makes most of his shots off the dribble rather than catch and shoot.
The 2009 NBA Draft seventh overall pick has spent all his years so far with the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry has shot his way to three NBA championships, two MVP awards, two scoring titles, and is a member of the 50-40-90 club.
In all but one season, Stephen Curry has shot over 40% from deep. Again, some are contested off-the-dribble shots, while a good number are from over 30 feet. Knocking such difficult shots takes a lot of technique and innate shooting ability.
Stephen Curry's top 3 NBA seasons based on 3-point shooting efficiency
Stephen Curry's 2020-21 NBA season will go down as one of his greatest runs in the NBA. Despite being 32, Chef Curry showed no signs of slowing down as he took it upon himself to attempt to reach the NBA playoffs they once dominated.
Unfortunately, LeBron James had other plans as he was the first stumbling block to their postseason campaign. His clutch 3-pointer prevented Stephen Curry and co. from securing the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
Stephen Curry's 32 points average for the 2020-21 season is his highest so far. The 32-year-old was firing on all cylinders, breaking several NBA shooting records with his April takeover.
However, efficiency is our keyword in this piece. That said, here are Stephen Curry's top three seasons.
#3 2014-15 season - 44.3
The 2014-15 season was the start of something great for the Golden State Warriors, and Stephen Curry was at the center of it, winning his first NBA MVP award. He helped the Warriors achieve a then career-high 67 wins and a finals appearance for the first time since 1975.
Steph won his first of three NBA championships in 2015 after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games.
From November 3, 2014, Stephen Curry made at least one three-pointer in every game until November 3, 2016. He holds the record for the most consecutive games with a three-pointer made (157). The only other player that has crossed the 100 mark is Kyle Korver.
Chef Curry shot a total of 646 3-pointers but only knocked down 286, resulting in a three-point percentage of .443. For the season, he averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds.
#2 2012-13 season - 45.3
Although Stephen Curry's 2012-13 season was not as dominating as the other two periods on this list, he still managed to set new records. He set the record for the most three-pointers made in the regular season with 272. From then on, he continually outscored himself until he crossed the 400 mark in 2016.
Stephen Curry scored 54 points in a game against the New York Knicks to set the record for the most points in a single game during that season. On his way to 54 points, he made 11 of 13 three-pointers.
From 3-point range, Steph shot 45.3% from beyond the arc on 600 tries. The 2012-13 season will always be important when documenting Stephen Curry's career because it was then that his dominance from three-point range started.
#1 2015-16 season - 45.4
Everybody knows the famed Golden State Warriors 2015-16 season, where they broke the Chicago Bulls' 73-10 record. Their league domination continued as they came so close to winning a second consecutive NBA title against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the King was not having it.
Stephen Curry's impressive run earned him his second consecutive MVP award by unanimous vote in the 2015-16 season. With that, he became the first NBA player to win an MVP award while securing all the votes.
Sometimes it is difficult to comprehend just how phenomenal Stephen Curry's 2015-16 was. It could go down in history as one of the best individual performances in a season. By winning the MVP with a unanimous vote, it is an indication that many others believed the same.
By the numbers, Stephen Curry led the league in points (30.1), steals (2.1), and free-throw shooting percentage (.908). He ended the series with a three-point percentage of .454 after knocking down 402 three-pointers in 886 attempts.
The closest a player has come to reaching that milestone is James Harden's 378 three-pointers made in the 2018-19 season. To put into perspective how much of a sharpshooter Stephen Curry is, Harden managed to make 378 three-pointers after 1028 attempts.
Outside of The Beard's brilliance, Curry is the only other NBA player that has scored 300+ 3's in a season, and he did so on three other occasions.
Guess the Lakers players!
