[SHAQisGOAT]

No... Better overall player though (as of right now).

[HomieWeMajor]

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time.

[QUOTE=Rondooooooooooo]Curry is a better volume shooter than nash, but thats about it. You guys need to remember that nash has more 50(fg%)

I think I would give the edge to Steph because he really goes out of his way to exploit the 3ball. Even though Steph is a great passer and great ball handler, his shooting is the area where he's THE BEST IN THE WORLD!! Nash on the other hand for me is best known for his great passing and floor generalship BUT he's among the greatest shooters of all time too. Curry, Nash, and Mark Price are the best blends of great shooting, handles, and passing of all time at PG. They all do it differently, but for their eras, they OWNED that blend of skills!

But one thing to keep in mind with Nash is the fact the he really developed into an epic blend of great passing and scoring at the PG. I've heard many compare him to Stockton, but Nash has another gear in terms of taking over a game of scoring. Peak Nash combined great shooting and great slashing better than any PG of all time! Even in comparison to Curry, I think Nash was better at getting to rack and scoring.

by all advanced statistical measures steve nash is considered by many to be the greatest shooter of all time. if he had the volume of shots curry did then he'd get those averages too but he was too busy averaging 11+ assists a game in his back-to-back mvps and leading his teams to wcfs to worry about chucking shots at the volume curry did.

No he would not. No way. Steph the last couple seasons has averaged 24/8. He's not some shooting guard playing point, he's a legitimate playmaker out there..who just happens to be an insanely good shooter and scorer for his position.

The past couple seasons he's been shooting 44% from 3 on 8 attempts a game...Nash at his peak 3-4 seasons was shooting 45% from 3 on 4 attempts a game. There's just no way Nash sustains that efficiency when you double his volume. Steph is literally doubling the volume from 3PT land while matching him for efficiency.

I'm almost positive if you gave Steph a high-scoring offensive system with lots of ball movement and great spacing..instead of the iso-heavy offense he's been in for most of his career..he'd be approaching 47-49% from 3 regardless of volume.

He's just a different kind of shooter than we've seen. People are quick to bring down hype when it's about current players..but Steph really is a historically good shooter. It's in the numbers and on tape, stats and eye test.

Steph's ceiling is literally a better Nash at this point, which is GOAT PG potential right there. That's ****ing terrifying to think about

[bigkingsfan]

One looking to pass to protect his stats, the other will shoot it with the clock winding down, do the math.

i'm not discounting steph's greatness as a pure 3pt shooter anyways. but let's not get carried away here. by all advanced metrics steve nash is the greatest person to ever develop a jump shot. but what you have to understand is what made the suns so great was nash's passing, not his scoring. that was a bonus and he rarely looked to score ever. he'd rather go 0/25 than 25/0.

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time.

Get this boy on the stand because he tells the truth

[sd3035]

Curry is clearly the greatest shooter to have ever played in the NBA

[Cold soul]

Curry is clearly the greatest shooter to have ever played in the NBA

Yup not close either.

[FKAri]

Maybe there were guys who were better spot up shooters on wide open shots or in an empty gym

but as a complete shooter in terms of how quickly he can release, his accuracy, range, ability to create space, off a pick or off the dribble...he's EASILY the best I've seen.

[JohnFreeman]

Who is better looking?

Nash looks great as an older guy, but Curry is handsome

Damn. This dude called it.
