Steph Curry has signal handedly extended dozens of players careers by making the three-point shot a premium shot (alien.top)

all these superstars once they start getting a little less athletic so like LeBron James or Kevin Durant. They can just transition to just three-point shooting and just rely on the three-pointer and they can actually the same number of points through that method because the three-pointer is such an advantageous move. Steph really changed the game like how football players like Tom Brady could play into their 40s because throwing the ball in any sport is is a lot easier than what they otherwise have to do which is running and jumping and doing something really athletic

I think a lot of yall have it mixed up. Steph showed people it was possible to win it all as a high volume 3 point guy, but the rockets were the team that made every team think they can trot out slightly above average 3 point shooters and have them chuck. They were very open about the numbers if the game in a way the warriors weren't.

Additionally their tactics were built around the numbers. The warriors wanted good shots, regardless of if they were 3 pointers or not. They merely used the 3 as a catalyst to blow the doors off a game and open everything else up.
