So you really think Curry, who shoots the 3 way better than Korver IMO, can't make more than 60% of his attempts if he only spots up?


Marco made 12/25, which results in a 3pt% of 48%, slightly higher than his average that year of 44%.


After that he made 14/25, which results in a % of 56%. Again, not such a huge drop off like some people suggested.


Beal made 13/25, resulting in % of 52%. He had around 41% shooting that year from 3.

This is Curry from 2013.

14/25. 56%.

Ryan Anderson from 2013.

14/25. 56%. Compared to his average of around 40% that year.

The trend seems to be that they shoot around 10-15% better compared to their average.

Do you have any proof that it's not similar? Have you tried making 25 NBA 3pt shots in under a minute? Of course the stats will be higher compared to in the NBA, because you have 5 consecutive shots from the same spot, but it's not THAT much higher, it seems.

I should've chosen more sane examples instead of that 1 outlier where Curry got hot and shot the lights out.

What's your release? I used to use Quick release like everyone else but I switched to Normal release and now I'm making 3s at the rate I should be. Normal is what most players in game have.

A 3-pt contest during all-star week resembles every-day 3pt shooting during the regular season as much as a all-star game resembles an actual game played during the season.

There is a type of pressure involved during the contest but it is not the same and is non-comparable.

You say you should not use outliers ... the entire 3-pt contest is an outlier and any stats derived from it is non-comparable to in-game during the regular season stats.

Also to settle all this non-sense, these stats are actually recorded.

Bold strategy leaving him open

Curry made 15 of his 17 uncontested shots in Games 1 and 2. His 17 attempts are the most open looks in the series and more than twice as many as any player on the Rockets had. Jason Terry leads Houston with eight uncontested field goal attempts.

The 2014-15 league MVP is shooting 88 percent on uncontested shots, including 82 percent from beyond the arc, in this series. When contested, his field goal percentage dips to 42 percent, including 18 percent from 3-point range.

Curry is getting open far more often than he did in either of the first two playoff series. Less than 25 percent of his attempts against the Grizzlies were uncontested, and 26 percent were uncontested against the Pelicans. In Games 1 and 2 of the conference finals, 40 percent of his looks have been uncontested.
Small sample size but it's not ridiculous over the course of a few games to be making all those uncontested shots. I have seen NCAA D1 players in practice and the best shooters can make close to 80-90% of their unguarded jump shots.

Also another chart of uncontested field goal percentage.

Small sample size.

Curry then went on to shoot 2-13 in the Cavs series, bricking multiple open shots.

Yes players should be able to get hot and cold. That's what the badges and rhythm system aim to do.

No, they shouldn't have inflated open shot percentages based on impressions, small sample sets, and contests that have nothing to do with the actual game, while ignoring large scale statistical evidence.

Please don't ask for things that break the game like Patch 4, which literally allowed the unrealistic results similar to what some of you guys are asking for.
