He isn’t taking much more of an offensive burden with Sixers, he’s just shooting the ball lights out from everywhere on the basketball court. His usage percentage (17) is actually down from a season ago with Dallas (18.4) as well. His increased playing time - he’s currently averaging 30 minutes per game, up by 5.4 compared to last season - has only led to him taking an additional 0.8 shots per game. While that is true to an extent, he’s improved in a lot of areas of his game which has helped him have the season he’s had thus far. Most people may view his stats and simply think: He’s playing more minutes, which lead to his improved stats. Pair that with the Sixers’ top-rated defense, and you have a recipe for early season success.īut let’s get back to discussing how Seth Curry has completely thrived in the City of Brotherly Love. He’s been heavily featured in a Sixers’ offense that ranks in the top half of the NBA at 11th (if we only include the games where the Sixers were fully or close to healthy). He’s only played eight games so far, but he isn’t just being the reliable 10-point-per-game scorer he’s been in his career before he’s having a career season across the board. What most didn’t expect is how well Curry would perform in the Sixers’ young season. There was no doubt that he would bring much needed floor spacing to a team starved of it. The Sixers managed to acquire one of the best shooters in the entire league on a very affordable salary for the next three seasons. It was met with excitement when news broke about Seth Curry joining the Philadelphia 76ers just a few months ago. It is not factoring in the recent games in which the Sixers have had the majority of their roster out due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. I'm anxious to see what happens when he gets to 1.300 games,' Shaquille O'Neal commented on TV.Disclaimer: The stats listed below are including the first eight games of the season in which Seth Curry - along with the Sixers - were fully healthy. We don't want to see guys just coming out and shooting threes. Guys like me and Chuck (Charles Barkley) don't like it.

Thank you Stephen Curry for revolutionizing the game of basketball forever! It was great to see his parents Dell and Sonya there supporting him!'.Ĭhris Paul had a game of his own going on, the one between the Suns and the Blazers, but that didn't prevent him from showing respect to his colleague.

'Just landed in Dallas to see Stephen Curry broke the record and to make it even doper he did it in the Garden!! Wow, congrats brother! Incredible,' the King wrote.Ĭurry's brother, Seth, also confirmed that Stephen became 'The official 3 God'.Īs the night went on, several more -active and retired- players joined in. LeBron James was one of the first to do so.

So, it was only fit that the NBA world would take the time to congratulate Steph Curry on Twitter, with several current and former plays sending their props. With 2.977 3-pointers and counting, the agile guard has officially become the greatest shooter of all time.
