Did Stephen Curry ever win the NBA Three-point contest 3 years in a row?
The players back in the 80s were not necessarily worse shooters. It's just that the game was much more in your face physical back in the 80s. You basically cannot touch anyone today.
Pat Riley said it best "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I choose Larry Bird"
The 3 point was introduced in birds rookie year which means he didn’t grow up shooting 3s
best shooter means best shooter. the 50/40/90 club shows the best shooters ever.
Steve Nash, Larry Bird, and Kevin Durant are the only players who have had multiple 50-40-90 seasons.
if whiteboy JayREdick were to guard Bird, Bird would have yelled at the opposing coach to stop disrespecting him and sub in the black guy.
My reaction to Your reaction: Bald numbers don't tell the entire tale. They just don't, for so many reasons but I also don't think anything anyone said, with precise numbers or not, would sway your conviction.
You seem to believe the past generations of players who spoke or expert analysts who were there at the time are just old fools.
You have a right to your opinion. That's just my reaction to your video. 🙂
The 3 wasn't even introduced until Bird's first year. None of those players practiced that shot. Thats why none of them shot it, yet Bird used it anyway.....to win games when it was needed...and still made it. The fact that he shot 42% when unpracticed....to someone that grew up from childhood shooting it....and hitting 45.....which is the more impressive? Yea...thought so.
Curry had 11+ 3pt attempts per game that season, Lurry had 1,6 3pt attempts per game .
Curry made 403 out of 889
Larry made 53 out of 123, what are you even comparing
@LockIn76 I really don't get what you don't understand. Curry came up understanding the concept of the 3ptr shot.
Bird was literally already a professional before it existed.
What is he even talking about? Well to anyone with even a vague understanding of English, the language you read that comment in, it's clear and obvious.
Why don't you do the last bit of research and find out what Curry thinks of Bird.
You must actually be a stupid as you've made yourself sound.
Bird had ridiculous arc on his shot and his release was flawless. Hed be a top tier 3 pt shooter if he came in todays era no doubt about it
There hasnt been a low post game for years. That was my favorite part of the game back in the day.
Larrys 3pt% was affected earlier in his career when he played Power Forward and the 3pt was very new, he developed that 3pt. From 1983/4 onwards though the 3pt% increased dramatically. If Larry had the time to develop it in high school and college he'd have been 40%+ every single season.
💯💯💯
LEGEND vs ONE TRICK PONY
Stephen Curry is a legend and definitely not a one-trick pony 😂
@@JayHemmsSports
Legendary ? No , that’s Bird !
@@JayHemmsSportswhat else does he do lol?
@@JayHemmsSportsright, he shoots 3ptr's and long 3ptr's
Greatest small forward in history
What you don't understand is Larry Bird wasn't saying Curry was a bad shooter. He didn't know. And honestly, Larry IS a better shooter than Steph Curry. Curry is a better 3-point shooter, but how good is his game everywhere on the floor?
Combined with the fact of the hard physicality of '80's basketball, yeah Larry is better. But pure 3 pointers? Yeah, I'll give it to Curry.
I like Curry (unlike LeBron, he has some skill). Not trying to get on my sandbox about Larry but he is a better shooter because he made them when they were heavily contested.
Larry was right. The 3's don't matter unless you can do it under pressure to win the game. L's and W's is all that Larry cared about. And that choice to care about only the W's and L's still made him one of the greatest (I think the greatest but that's splitting hairs for this conversation) players of all time.
So yeah, Curry can have that 3- point title. Larry doesn't need it nor did he ever want it. Larry was concerned for the game not his stats. Not saying Curry is a stat chaser, I don't know him well enough to say that, but most players in today's game are stat chasers and that is selfish. I'd rather not award players who are greedy no matter how good they are.
if I had to choose a player. to take a 3-point shot to save a game, I choose Stephen Curry. If I had to choose a player to take a 3-point shot to save my life, I'd take Larry Bird.
Great video!
yea you need a 3 point shot today.. but just like ANY era of basketball, the players and teams that can do inside and out, fast pace and half court, offense and defense, iso and off ball movement, ball sharing, are the teams that dominate and are remembered... in other words, WELL ROUNDED players and teams.. not just players that can shoot and drive.. but mid range, post up, rebounds, setting picks, off ball movement, defense...
The game was played in the paint then shooting 3s was not a thing. Even tho Bird did not grow up shooting 3s he was a great 3 pt shooter. In todays game Bird would thrived
He would've been unrivaled
At 13:13 did this guy say that Curry better player than Larry Bird???
As for Reddick, whatever opinions he gives about sports, just think the opposite. And you'll be correct.
I was saying that Larry Bird wasn't a better shooter than Stephen Curry. Larry Bird is a better player though.
@@JayHemmsSports Curry is a better volume 3pt shooter than Larry because thats what the game is now.
Come winning time, how many 3pt shot saved Curry's game compared to Larry's?
I'd take Larry over Curry anytime when it matters. And that's how I define 'shooter', when it matters...
I wont say Bird is a better 3 point shooter than Curry.. as far as SHOOTER tho.. Bird got MORE 50/40/90 seasons than Curry has sooo.. there IS an argument for best OVERALL shooter (KD and Steve Nash also have a say in that)..
but again, bird DIDNT practice the 3 ball and was STILL great at it.. would Steph be THAT great if he DIDNT practice shooting 3s like he does TODAY?..
but as it stands, Steph is the greatest 3 point shooter in my eyes..
bird is just the FAR better PLAYER.
Great reaction!!!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed! 💯
Larry didn't shot 3's when he was 8 years old think about it. First year in the league 3 point line showed up
I’m a Bird fan so take it for what it’s worth but you’re just flat wrong about Steph being the greatest shooter of all time. From deep I agree. Steph is like a machine. Absolutely unbelievable. From anywhere on the floor Bird was unreal and in a clutch situation just forget about it. Face it from inside Bird just had more size and mid range nobody ever knew what Bird was going to do. Absolutely no disrespect to Steph because from deep I’ve only seen one player that could hang with him.
Larry was great with the ball and the best player ever without it, that is his real distinction from others. Basketball IQ in the stratosphere that put him in the right place at the right time more often than not. Legend. He'd be the first guy I'd want on my team.
Mike proved he can shoot 3 pointers. Said he could not do it. First game of the finals he broke the finals record for a game in the first half ( 6 ) . He had 35 points at the half
I'll take Larry every day of the week. Clutch
Awesome, great research and comments. Thank you.
so then it makes sense that Larry Bird would ALSO be a BETTER 3 point shooter TODAY.. correct? if the the ENTIRE LEAGUE progressed in 3 points shot attempts, makes and percentages, than its logical to assume that Larry Bird, whom DIDNT practice shooting the 3, would be BETTER than his 42% 1985 clip...
so 28% to 35% is a 7% jump.. if we apply 7% to Larry Bird 1985 42% clip, Take 1% away to account for MARGIN OF ERROR (i didnt use the ACTUAL equation used in statistical analysis of a controlled population, which the NBA is a controlled population and Larry Bird is part of said controlled population so I just used a nice round number of 1) bird's 1985 three point % of 42 would jump to 48%... at the very least...
Let me dumb that down.
the league got 7% better at shooting 3s from 1985 to 2016. Larry Bird, one of the best shooters of that era, would logically have gotten better as well.. and one can assume that it would be at the same rate the the REST of the league got better in.. since you know, he wa already one of the best AT IT..
if you guna knock the rest of the league for shooting lower 3 point percentages than you must also understand that Larry Bird was shooting at a lower percentage back than, and like the rest of the league, he would be shooting HIGHER NOW...
It should be noted also, Larry Bird won the very first three point shootouts in NBA history, doesnt make him the best shooter in history but that was a very big deal at the time - The only other players in NBA history to do this was Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.
If you make half court shots worth 5 pts kids will practice that shot day in day out until the become a really good half court shooter. Curry is a great shooter and better from 3 in volume for the 1st 58 minutes than Bird simply because Bird did not shoot alot of 3s. All around shooter and especially in the clutch. Give me Bird
Of course I'm biased. After seeing Bird lose in the NCAA championship game, Bird's court savy even in the loss made me a lifelong fan. And my first impression carried through his career as great.
That percent at 42.3 The three-point line was farther back in '85 and the three-point line was only in the league 6 years versus Curry shooting it his whole lifetime and it's closer even though he does make really far shots. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that
Larry bird is my favorite player of all time. Michael Jordan is the goat, but Steph Curry is the best pure shooter. I’m not one to say “never“, but I really don’t think his three-point record will ever be broken.
Jordan has said he learned his trash talk from watching Larry Bird and how he could get into other player's heads.
If Larry Bird had grown up with the 3 pt. shot, like todays players have, there would be no questioning his 3 pt. ability. The most he ever shot in a game was like seven. He averaged something like four a game for his career. With extra work on the three, he would have dominated. Multiple 50/40/90 averages and founder...that shows how great a shooter he was anyway.
Ultimately, I pomise you that Larry Bird could not care less what JJ Redick says about him. He knows what his game was and what he could and did do. What JJ Redick says does not factor into it at all.
Thank you for the Birdman.
you know what happens with players in getting hot shooting 3's back in that era? Next shot they will find themselves getting fouled hard and would probably end up on the floor. Physical defense affects shooting.
Jordan spot on...don't camp out on the 3-point line
bro man used to hunt animals with crude weapons, we used to FIGHT for survival.. today's top athletes still buy their tofu at the grocery store.. todays gen are ipad babies. sure the tech and science has evolved so todays kids bodies are stronger and healthier BUT without adversity they are still weak.. tough experiences forge great individuals.. talent and being athletic are not enough.
Larry won the 3 pointer 3 year's in a row how many did Curry win?
Bird and Curry are the top 2
The things is there are no good defense players nowadays, that's why there is so much successful offense.
There’s definitely good defense players in todays NBA
Young man most 3s were against the clock , not part of the offense most of the time. How well do players today shoot in that situation
If you go by percentage, Curry is 12th all time. Steve Kerr is first
old teams would beat todays teams every time. reason...when you depend and live by the 3, all you doin is standing around. old school b ball was a TEAM GAME
Plus, Larry Bird needed no modern magnet tech to land three's
What makes Steph Curry the greatest shooter ever??
Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter ever because:
- He holds the record for the most 3-pointers made in NBA history
- He set the record for most threes made in a season with 402 in 2015-2016
- He has a 43% shooting percentage from 3-point range while attempting almost 10 3-pointers per game
- He has led the league in 3-pointers made 8 times, an NBA record
- His versatility with the 3-point shot is amazing. Steph is excellent at catch-and-shoot and spot-up shooting, can score off the dribble, and has an incredible range on his 3-pointers. His shooting ability is so respected that defenders must guard him as soon as he crosses half-court.
- He has also significantly impacted the game, revolutionizing it by popularizing the 3-point shot. Everyone is shooting threes now because of Stephen Curry.
@@JayHemmsSports How about this - Steph Curry overall field goal % 47.3
Larry Bird overall field goal % 49.5
So, whose the better overall shooter???
Shooting is not just about 3 pt fg's.
It's about making shots in pressure situations when the game is on the line.
Steph Curry is not even in the top 10 3pt % makers of all time.
Larry Bird won the first 3 3pt shooting contests.
Larry Bird has made more 3pters in clutch situations.
Bird started the 50-40-90 club - that's 50% or more overall FG%, 40% or more 3pt % and 90 % or more free throw shooting.
As a matter of fact, Bird averaged 50-40-90 over a 4 year stretch during his career and had 2 50-40-90 seasons back to back. Curry has done it once.
Just because Curry takes and makes the most 3pt shots that does not make him the greatest shooter.
@@robgelfand2414
Comparing overall field goal percentage (FG%) alone doesn't necessarily mean someone is a better shooter. If that were the case, LeBron would be considered a better shooter than Bird and Curry, which we both know isn't true. I personally believe LeBron is the greatest of all time (GOAT). We have to consider the context and other factors beyond just FG%.
Moreover, when people discuss shooting, especially in today's game, they often focus on three-point shooting. Even in the video, the narrator was talking about three-point percentages. Regarding Curry not being in the top 10 of all-time three-point percentage makers, Steve Kerr holds the highest three-point percentage in NBA history, despite only averaging 2 three-point attempts per game for his entire career. Like C'mon lol.
Additionally, when the argument is made that Curry takes and makes the most three-point shots, it doesn't automatically make him the greatest shooter. The conversation should include his three-point percentage, his ability to utilize the three-point shot in different ways (catch-and-shoot, spot-up shooting, off-the-dribble), and his incredible range on his three-pointers. Not to mention, his shot difficulty is off the charts! He's often guarded well beyond the three-point line, which adds another layer of complexity to his shooting abilities.
@@JayHemmsSports If you practice and do things over and over the better you get at it. The fact that Steve Nash didn't take that many 3's but made them at a higher percentage shows how great a shooter he was. As far as defense is concerned - are you going to tell me that the defense is better in today's game than it was in Birds era? That's a joke, right?
A few other things - Bird used to tell the opposing team where he would shoot from before a play would start - even during the biggest moments of a game, and they still could not stop him.
That's how great a shooter Bird was.
Steph is great but he's no Bird.
As for who the GOAT is - first criteria has to be defined. There are several players that can be argued are the GOAT.
Bird is the best, if he played today he would destroy, because winners win.. show me anyone else that would tell the best players in the NBA what play he was going to do and then go do it to them.. not just 1 time or 2 times.... but all the time to every player... who else does that.. no one
NBA Defense is weak now days. Look at the videos and tell me differently
Why are you watching this?
theyre chopping all the minor cuss words out and ruining the damn story
JJ is delusional! I think he hates the players of the past so much that’s the only way he can justify talking about how much better today’s players are
Bird only competed in 3 3 pt contests
HE DO HAVE A POINT??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Dude, JJ was and is a clown.
Jordan never beat Bird
Set records while loosing. Boston had 5 Hall of Fame players. Mike had Mike
If you do a research about which player made the most 3-point clutch shots in the last seconds of a game, you will probably not find many who has ever managed that better than Larry Bird. People today also many times forget that Larry Bird played at a time where the game was intensely physical regarding player contact. Today, you can hardly touch an opponent without getting a fault.
The game today where people all wait at the 3 -point line is boring compared to the game in the 1980s and 1990s.
