    Default Will we ever see a better shooting backcourt than S. Curry & K. Thompson?

    This season from 3 point land...

    Curry: 44.2 3PT% | 3.6 makes per game
    Thompson: 43.5 3PT% | 3.1 makes per game

    Both are #1 & #2 in 3 pointers made in the NBA. Amazing stuff.

    Nope. Curry is having the best shooting season ever, and it isn't even close.

    Curry and Klay have great form and quick releases.

    Theoretically, if a 7 footer like Durant or Dirk type comes into the league with a quick release and good form then you could surpass these two as they literally wouldnt be phased.

    They may be the best 3-point shooting backcourt we'll see for a long time.

    Steph Curry has made 284 3's this season, the most in a season by FAR. The next closest player is...Stephen Curry.

    Maybe if Nash and Ray went back in time and teamed up.

    How about someone create a better shooting back court in NBA history? Single season, so 2004 x and y, not just two random people at their peak (unless their peak was the same year).

    Made 3's is bs. Different era's, different playing styles. Curry attempts over 600 3's per season, whereas someone like Mark Price, who wasn't a bad shooter himself, attempted only 300 (at max) in a season.

    It might be the best shooting back-court ever but I'm still taking Nash over Curry as a shooter.
