Will Stephen Curry’s efficiency force a broader acceptance of advanced statistics? Even for people who don’t follow the numbers behind the sport with a keen eye, it’s hard to not to do a double take when shown the graphic. Curry’s 386 three pointers vaulted him over previous record holder, Ray Allen on Saturday.
It’s a different era for sure, but even given the systemic changes we’ve seen to basketball recently (changes that Curry is at least partially responsible for) this is still an impressive feat - and even more impressive given that he did it in nearly half as many games.
