Verdict: Stephen Curry

And the winner is…Steph!

Curry wins the contest, and can be considered the NBA’s best shooter to date. His combination of volume and percentage is far and away unmatched. In just nine seasons, he’s already climbed to seventh on the NBA’s all-time 3-point leaderboard (2,129) and it won’t be long before he passes everyone in front of him.

Steph leads the bunch in:

  • Career 3-point percentage
  • Career 3-point volume
  • Single-season 3-point volume
  • Single-season 3-point percentage
  • Single-game 3-pointers made

Klay is a surprise finisher on this list. He might have a case for second as his career goes one, but further comparison between him and Allen would be needed there. Nonetheless, Golden State’s backcourt is one for the history books.

This season, fans anticipate an injury-free Steph punishing the league. He is coming off a career-best summer, according to Yahoo. Bay Area fans should be in for a treat.
