Klay Thompson, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and the great three-point-volume debate

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are the greatest shooting backcourt of all time. When all is said and done, they may be one and two in terms of the greatest-shooters-of-all-time discussion.

But if there’s one more thing you can credit them for (or blame, if you look at it from a glass-half-empty perspective), it’s that they’ve completely revolutionized the modern game — or ruined it, if you don’t like how the modern game has turned out to be.

What was once a novelty shot has turned into the bread-and-butter of most NBA teams. A team that can’t shoot probably won’t go far in the league, let alone win a championship.
