I'm not a huge basketball fan but damn do I like watching a finals series and damn do I like watching Curry play the way he does.
Before Curry came along I'd had a theory that eventually 1-2 players in the NBA would be great at shooting accurate 3-pointers from a bit further out on the court, and that would then inspire younger kids to follow suit as they played in high school and college.
Then Curry came along and does exactly that and he's a machine at it. From a few guys I've talked to that coach kids teams or have kids playing basketball, it's happening in some ways. They all want to shoot 3's, they're getting stronger to do it. I imagine those kids will keep progressing and 5-10 years from now we will really see the evidence of that on the league.
I often jokingly say that eventually they'll be shooting them accurately from half-court, and maybe the NBA should change the scoring to make those shots worth 5 points. Could you even imagine how that would change the game?
- Most coaches wouldnt have allowed the risks that Curry takes but GS and Curry revolutionized everything.docpoz
- Yeah. Crazy to see kids throwing up long range 3 pointers. Live by the 3, die by the 3?studderine
