Is Steph Curry the 'best outside shooter of all time?'

    It's pretty clear that the numbers back up Curry as the "greatest" outside shooter in NBA history. Now how much do you have to take into account how the game is played now as compared to prior generations? (Kind of like basketball OPS-plus.)

    If you mean I referred you to your wife for that strange sexual request you made of me, sure.

    Curry also shot better from three, only slightly worse from two, and way better from the line than the Petrovic stats posted there.

    You also made a very crude comment related to your mistaken belief that she was vegan.

    We've found the one force that can stop Stephen Curry: Passive Aggressive Long Con Dick.

    What about Kyle Korver?

    Curry has yet to lead the league in 3-point field goal percentage. I know he takes a ton of them, but you would think he could lead it once if we're going to anoint him.

    Not much. We're not evaluating him overall. We're evaluating a very specific skill that has always been part of the game.

    So, did you ask her yet? What did she say?

    That's racist.

    This is like when someone mistakenly posts an article from a satire site, and even after it's been pointed out that it's satire, people continue to respond as if it's real.

    Exactly. We're just dealing with an entirely different unprecedented category of volume with Curry. And also an unprecedented percentage of threes taken from absurdly deep distances and under high degrees of difficulty.

    The answer to the question is simply Curry. The dude has redefined what can be done with the long range shot.
