was nash a better 3 poont shooter then steph curry

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

Maybe not in the future

Damian Lillard made 403 3-pointers in the last two seasons, the most by a player in the first two seasons of his career in NBA history.

Nash is better than Curry is every aspect except defense.

Prime Nash, of course.

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

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.

Based on?

[Genaro]

Curry is the better 3pt shooter, guy can light it up from anywhere anytime. Does he take bad shots? Well, yes because he can make those.
Nash had great percentages because he took great shoots, he had a great shoot selection but I don't think he would make those shots that Curry does.

If Steph can put up 24/4/9/2 on 61% TS on a pretty weak offensive system while taking a ton of contested, high degree of difficulty shots...it's scary to think what kind of numbers he'd put up on those mid-2000s Suns teams. Steph is the best shooter ever, he just needs the longevity to make it official.

To anyone saying it isn't even close between prime Nash and current Steph

child please.

I do not want a player on my team who shoots those kinds of shots like Curry.

You do if that player is Curry. 44% from 3= 66% from 2.

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.

Lol stop trying to change the question. Curry is a better shooter. Curry broke an NBA record of most 3 pointers made in a single season with Nash's efficiency and doing it in front of peoples grills and u here like "well... Nash can shoot open ones"

child please.

How can you disagree with the bold?

GSW did have a terrible offensive system; they just have so much firepower that they were still able to score. I'm pretty sure every analyst, and most fans who watched any of their games agrees with that. Granted, that gave Curry a lot of freedom to run high p&r, and do whatever he wanted, so it might've helped his numbers more than it hurt them.

You don't think Curry takes difficult shots? Have you ever watched him play? He takes 8 3s a game, and it's not because teams leave him open. The only time he has space on a shot, is when it's a transition pull up, or he creates separation himself.

[Smoke117]

The thing about Nash is that he was like a more aggressive Johnny Stockton...he doesn't take a lot of bad shots. He's probably not better considering the shots Curry takes while still shooting a high percentage. I remember people saying Nash was a better shooter than Ray Allen around the mid 00s...you have to take into account difficulty of shot.

[Dro]

No.

[moaz]

this discussion is becoming boring.

In 20 years Nash name will show up every time a player wins a back to back MVPs. The probability is extreme high that no one would remember Curry's name, even in the 3 point shooters category. Every 2-3 years there is a new "best 3 shooter in history" guy. Jason Kapono says hi.
