NBA News And Rumors: Stephen Curry Aims At Reaching 400 3-Pointer Shots
Golden State Warriors' prolific 3-point shooter Stephen Curry is on the path of making an NBA history as he strides to reach his 400 3-point shots. Last year, he did set the record with most 3-pointers to date- 286 to be exact. The player's current obsession is to hike that number to somewhere around 400. Benchmarking such figure is not just difficult but even impossible and absurd to many.
When the 3-point shot was first implemented in the 1979-80 season, no team from the league's 559 teams has ever reached the 400-mark. The thought of Curry succeeding what all teams failed to do in nearly 4 decades is ridiculously amazing. For the 3-point scoring machine, it he falls one point short from his goal, he'll 'chuck'- which basically means putting up more shots.
"If I get to 399 (three-pointers), I will chuck. That's the only thing I can guarantee," said Curry in a fun-twisted statement as quoted by CBS Sports.
In a strongly related development, the Warriors has recently set a new NBA record on last Sunday night's game as it dominated Portland Trail Blazers in a 136-111 win. The golden boys of the league now beats all other teams in making 1, 000 3-pointers in a single season which also makes them the most prolific 3-point shooting team in NBA history thanks largely to Stephen Curry as reported by USA Today.
Meanwhile, the Warriors were also eyeing to break 1995-96 Chicago Bulls record of 72 wins in a single regular season. Currently, the Golden State has 69 wins but an unexpected 124-117 loss to Minnesota Timberwolves just hurdled the team's path to securing that record according to the latest roundup from Sydney Morning Herald.
So far, the Western Conference contender has 69 wins to its name but chasing after that record wouldn't be an easy task. The team already suffered loss to Boston Celtics last Saturday. The Warriors are also set to come face-to-face with the Spurs, currently the West Conference's number 2.
