There are many three-point shooters in the NBA, why is Curry the only one to receive such a high rating?

In the 70-year history of the NBA, there have been many three-point shooting experts, such as the golden left-handed Mullin, the "German Tank" Nowitzki, and the "Terminator" Reggie ·Miller, "Gentleman Sword" Ray Allen and Korver who is currently playing for the Cavaliers, etc., but not as the subject said, they all failed to become famous in the world, such as Mullin, Nowitzki, and Ray Len and Miller are both Hall of Fame-level stars, and they still have considerable influence and popularity around the world. Therefore, I guess the question asked by the questioner means why Curry's three-pointers have a much greater impact than the others. Use unconventional weapons as conventional weapons

Before Curry appeared, there were indeed many outstanding three-point shooters in NBA history, but few stars used three-pointers as their conventional weapons. As strong as Ray Allen, the NBA's historical three-point king, he only averaged 5.7 three-pointers per game in his career, but Curry averaged 7.8 three-pointers per game. What's even more frightening is that Curry has repeatedly taken long-distance shots or directly hit three-pointers in the face of defensive players. These were unreasonable offensive methods in the past, but they have become reasonable because of him.

When others shoot three-pointers, they all take refuge at fixed spots. For example, Ray Allen keeps running out of the open space, and Durant uses his height and wingspan to ignore the interference of defensive players.*** The same point is that they are all fixed-point shots, but the difference between Curry is that he has a quick shot, can dribble and face defensive players to make unreasonable moves, and can also make an unexpected shot from a distance from the three-point line. , He can even take a sudden shot while dribbling the ball at high speed. This kind of shooting ability can be said to be unique. Not only can he shoot three-pointers

We can look at the difference between Curry and some historical three-point shooters. Curry can not only shoot three-pointers, but he is also very capable of organizing and linking up. While some other players may be just a regular-season weapon as mentioned above, the three-pointer may be just a simple shooter like Korver. Curry's versatility has made him twice elected as the regular season MVP. With the Warriors consistently ranking among the league's top teams in recent years, it is not surprising that he can have such a big impact.

Another very big advantage is that he can create shooting opportunities out of thin air through the pick-and-roll of his teammates. No matter how accurate the fixed-point shooter is, as long as he is strictly guarded, he will have no chance to shoot, so he is accurate. For example, Ray Allen can only be a team's No. 2 or No. 3 scorer, while Curry can be the team's top star, and because of his three-point deterrence, he forces opponents to expand their defense to the three-point line. Allowing teammates to get a lot of space can make the whole team full of energy and everyone is a soldier. This ability is something that traditional point guards such as Paul, Turtles, Harden or ball-pointing small forward LeBron James cannot provide to the team. bring something. Promoting the trend of small ball in the league

Not only Curry can shoot three-pointers for the Warriors, Thompson, Durant, and Green are all three-pointers. In recent years, they have made other teams in the league suffer. , in order to gain the strength to compete with the Warriors, many teams in the league are strengthening the three-point attack, with a bright offensive rhythm and rapid ball possession transition... The small ball trend is popular, and the biggest promoter behind this is Curry.

So, Curry created a new era of basketball. His three-pointers made all teams in the league suffer from the Warriors' defense. At the same time, it also injected new elements into the NBA. Perhaps Curry Before, it was a joke if you wanted to rely on three-pointers to win the championship. But now in the league, three-pointers are the top priority of the team.
