Since coming into the league in 2009, Steph Curry has lead the NBA in shots from 26-30 feet by such an insanely large margin that it’s not even worth checking who’s the second-ranked player in this very specific category. (In case you’re curious, it’s 1,252 attempts.) The crazy part is that so many of these bombs actually go inside the orange circle he’s aiming at, disproving popular (and justified) coaching logic that threes should be taken as close to the basket as possible. His success from way downtown has inexorably changed the sport of basketball forever, because now, his peers — and the younger generations who idolize Steph’s game — have embraced the deep-threeball as a legitimate offensive tool.
