Steph Curry evolved into a better scorer by being less breathtaking

The greatest shooter of all time is having the most efficient shooting season of his career.

When Stephen Curry became the first unanimous MVP in league history two seasons ago, he did it mostly thanks to delivering what was easily the best shooting season ever. Although the 3-point shooting gets most of the attention -- rightfully so given the manner in which he obliterated his own record for made 3s while finishing second in the league in 3-point accuracy -- it was far more than simply dialing in from downtown.

He essentially shot the same on 2s as MVP Shaquille O'Neal and converted a higher percentage at the free throw line than Steve Nash, the most accurate free throw shooter of all time.
