Stephen Curry sets NBA Record 13 Threes in a Game

But Kyrie and Durant are clearly better.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Amazing that he's playing that well and they're beating one of the worst teams in the league by just 12. Something is off with this team.

This.

0/22

[bigkingsfan]

Haven't shot any 3's after that, should go for 15 to ensure it never gets broken.

They keep trying to get him the ball but they're just face guarding him. They still went for it and turned it over. Think they're not gonna force it as much now. He needs to just bring it up and chuck.

Stats and performance weren't even that impressive especially considering love and Kyrie were gone

For real. He better come back strong after that shit

[Bankaii]

Figured after going 0/10 he'd come out firing.
Thing is they only won by 10 against a lotto team.
Not a being a two-way superstar really just limits your impact.

:oldlol: Anthony Davis

:oldlol: Kobe

:oldlol: Regular season

Don't wanna come across as a hater, 13/17 from 3? That's fking insane. I can't hate on that at all. Some NBA dudes can't even hit free throws in an empty gym that well LOL

[G-train]

I wish players just jogged back down the court, even after a record like that.
Instead he celebrates like he won the title. Not even that actually, he celebrates like a weird douchebag.
The little handy movement after every score is too much also.

[hold this L]

Inferno killin' em. :cheers:

Got to love Steph. This dude might be the most arrogant guy in the league. Only he would go 0/10 from 3 losing his 2 year streak of 1 3 per game to break the 3P record the next game.

We are all witnesses.

He will now proceed to do this on a nightly basis. He was hunting for that record for ages. No pressure now.

This.

[GimmeThat]

that's the neat thing about basketball, on offense, making a basket directly result in score as well. If you make your baskets, you don't have to be concerned of how many points you score.

the same thing goes with how some consider scorer, as the ability to impact team offense and score, indirectly value/judges a players ability to record the assists. where as others, may just be about the ability to put the ball in the basket against opposing defenders, disregarding team impact.

[Mr Feeny]

Kobe :(

:lol

[J Shuttlesworth]

It looks like the Warriors need to stick to playing Curry-ball instead of Durant-ball... at least for the regular season. Even then, a close game against the Pelicans isn't impressive for the All Star Team. They should maybe consider getting rid of Durcancer

Most of those points came when the games were already decided.

Sadly, any potential Curry hype will need a chastening ceiling until he engineers a BITW-level playoffs run; it's impossible for me to feel otherwise after he had an arguably GOAT offensive season last year only to falter sharply in the wake of his early-round injuries. That's the depressive part about this season for him; no matter how legendary of regular-season performances he'll have, one needs to question how much he'll be able to greaten his legacy in the playoffs given his history.

Nonetheless, I still need to give credit where it's due. Glad to see him finally eclipse this single-game record and have a peak-all-around game, which hopefully can slow down the overreacting murmurs that his peak is over. :applause:

flawed logic, if Lebron is an all time great which he clearly is, getting beaten in the finals by him is not something you have to redeem yourself from.

[Naero]

I'm not detracting his legacy for getting beaten by another team with the GOAT Small Forward on it; I don't lend into that specious superstar-vs-superstar bs that many like to use, since any logical assessor remembers that it's a team game. I'm evaluating his NBA Finals for his individual impact.

If going from unanimous MVP to having the worst NBA Finals of any incumbent MVP isn't a setback that needs redeeming from, then I suppose you are either overlooking his individual shortcomings or are downplaying the importance of playoffs/NBA Finals performance as it pertains to one's legacy. No, it isn't hyperbole that it's the worst NBA Finals outing of any MVP; see the following superlatives: worst field-goal percentage, worst scoring average, second-worst turnover rate, and the eighth-lowest assists-per-game average.

On top of it all, had Curry made even 1-2 more of the shots that he uncharacteristically missed in Game 7—let alone whiff the average level of play that he engineered during the regular season—the Warriors would win the title, and they would have almost done so in spite of him.

Does LeBron deserve credit for his all-time-great NBA Finals performance? Yes, but that had little to do with Curry laying an egg; it was still the Warrior's title to lose in the end even with LeBron orchestrating a GOAT-level finals, and Curry needs to take the lion's share of the blame for the fact that it was ultimately lost.

Either way, it's not too late to redeem himself; LeBron himself did for his 2011 fiasco. Curry is still in his peak and in a golden position to lead his team to more titles, and performances like this are certainly encourage for that vindication. But this certainly will put on a ceiling on where he may ultimately rank when it's all said and done. Just like LeBron in 2011 and Kobe in 2004, this is an irremovable stain on his resume.

Amazing that he's playing that well and they're beating one of the worst teams in the league by just 12. Something is off with this team.
That was my thought on it too. I thought the Warriors would beat the second worse team in the NBA (possibly the worse team) by at least 20 with Curry giving them that, but no...just by 10 points.

[ClipperRevival]

Just goes to show how good some of these guys really are. No 3 pt makes his previous game and he obviously comes out with a chip on his shoulder and proceeds to do what he did. It's one thing to think about it but another to actually do it. Unreal stuff.

But it would be nice to see him go off in the playoffs, more specifically one of these finals games.

[Hey Yo]

Donyell Marshall passes the torch....

[pauk]

13 was inevitable, so close so many damn times, what i am actually waiting for is like 15, 17, 20 (+?) 3's in a game from him. He is the only shooter ive ever seen who is easily capable of that, not is he only perhaps the most accurate ever and not only can he create shots from distance better than anybody ive ever seen.... but his trigger is some of the fastest releases ive ever seen, the dude just flicks up there so fast like its some burning coal from the fires of Mordor...

It almost looks like Shawn Marions flick

It has to be the perfect storm of Curry going off and the game somehow staying close.

Which is why it took him so long to break this record in the first place. I think what really did it for him in this game was the no call on the Anthony Davis foul while shooting a three right in front of the Pels bench.

Curry was HOT. He got a T and then immediately hit another three after the missed technical free throw. Crowd was super hyped at that point as well. That was the turning point where he decided to bury the Pels and the record.

Kinda funny when people call him a fraud and that he is only a 3PT shooter. What is wrong with being a 3PT shooter? Nobody gave a rats ass when Shaq dominated the inside and dunked on everyone. Why is Curry getting so much flack for dominating the outside?

By the way, Curry's celebration is not any more cocky than any other players.

[Smoke117]

It's funny how it's not really a big deal...it's something we all assumed he'd do at one point or another anyway. Greatest 3pt shooter ever who also takes them at the highest clip ever? It was inevitable.

Kind of a silly complaint since last season he was only behind Bron at the rim and 6th in the paint or 5feet or something insane where he was having %s then the top Centers in the league who dunk half their shots. If I was the GOAT shooter, I would shoot more from 3 as well, numbers don't lie.

Except vs the Spurs, they seem to have a handle on stop Steph from shooting the three well since last season.

[Dragonyeuw]

We knew it was coming, because there were plenty of games last year where he probably could have done it. I'm expecting him to break his own record with 15 or more down the line. I missed the game but saw the highlights this morning....some of those shots were :wtf: :hammerhead:

There's an inverse correlation between highest threes made in a game and alpha rings. Just look at the top 2 record holders
