was nash a better 3 poont shooter then steph curry

[NZStreetBaller]

In his prime.... I mean steph is known for his 3 point shot but he has alot of volume and steve was a pass first guy

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Steph is the best 3pt shooter in history. His 2013 season blows any season away and even 2014 beats almost all

Steph is also a better overall player now than Nash ever was

He wasn't better than Curry, but he's one of the best shooters ever.

Nash had several seasons shooting 44%-47%, on 4-5 3PA. Curry has averaged 44%, on 6 3PA for his career.

Nash was great at shooting 3s off the dribble, but he didn't do it when closely contested the way that Curry does; probably because he didn't have Curry's lightning quick release.

When did shot selection stop being part of the criteria for judging a shooter? Nash was better. He did not take fadeaways 3s with guys in his face. That's a good thing. If they are both open with the game on the line, great chance they both hit the shot.

only ray allen can be compared when it comes to 3pt shooting, but steph is not better than prime nash overall

It's close considering shot selection and overall clutch play (I'd be tempted to say Nash has more clutch 3s). But it's Curry.

As a player Nash was definitely better. Curry has a great, great defense behind him and he's just a solo offensive piece. Not a great passer, not much of a ball sharer, doesn't maximise his teammates.

The Suns had to rely on offense, something Nash actually ran.

Curry shoots a higher percentage than Nash did, despite taking those 3s with guys in his face. Shots that would be bad, possibly even bench-worthy for any other player, are good shots for Curry. That's what makes him so impressive.

I agree that Nash was a better player in his prime than Curry is.

I do not want a player on my team who shoots those kinds of shots like Curry. It is exciting to watch, but it is bad basketball. He shoots a higher percentage in spite of those shots, which is really saying something. But in a tight playoff series against great defense, that is not going to cut it. And imagine the effect on his teammates. They get less touches so he can fade away from 25 feet. Bad basketball.

Nash was more efficient and had better shot selection but Curry's clearly the better overall shooter imo

Did you watch Nash play?

Substitute Curry with Nash and those Suns teams struggle. Curry's a good player, a leader he aint.

[masonanddixon]

Yeah Nash was a better shooter. Also much better off the dribble.

Not sure why anyone is mentioning Curry in the same breath as him.

[Taller than CP3]

Curry is a scrub compared to prime Nash

It's hilarious how quickly people forget.

[Jlamb47]

Prime Nash Shits on Curry but Curry only has 3pt shooting over Nash
Other then that Nash was a better offensive player 2 time MVP

[elementally morale]

Curry is a better 3 point shooter than Nash ever was. Overall... a lot closer as far as pure shooting goes. However, basketball has more to it than shooting. Nash was a way better player than any version of Curry I've seen so far.

[Bobcats2013]

No. As for all the comments saying Prime Nash is better than Curry, well that may be true but you gotta put in 2 factors. Curry is just now entering his prime and Nash had the D'antoni system.
