Sure, it was an all-star game<\/a>, where nobody plays any <\/em>defense, but still.\u00a0 In the span of a single 48-minute basketball game, Steph Curry still sank an astounding 16 three pointers.\u00a0 Now if you\u2019re doing the math, that means he scored 48 points on treys alone, so it\u2019s funny to see that his final score was still a ridiculous 50 points, meaning that aside from all the three pointers, he made just one singular two point field goal.<\/span><\/p>\n Numbers like these will never fail to astound me, because I grew up as an NBA fan in an era where John Starks sinking six threes in a game is a rare occurrence, Dennis Scott going nuts and draining nine was bonkers, and then Kobe Bryant hitting eleven threes in a game was flat-out ridiculous.\u00a0 50 points in an all-star game was unheard of, and I remember the last time the all-star game was in Cleveland, Glen Rice won the MVP after scoring 26 points and hitting a paltry four threes.<\/span><\/p>\n So seeing that a guy hit 16 three pointers in a single game is definitely something that makes my face contort and say really, because that\u2019s just flat out ridiculous.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure I didn\u2019t hit 16 threes in a single game of NBA Jam<\/em>, even with the fire cheat code on, because the quarters were like two minutes long and I simply didn\u2019t have the time to launch sixteen threes.<\/span><\/p>\n The more I think about it, the more it\u2019s clear that Steph Curry really did change the entire sport of basketball, arguably more than any other guy before him.\u00a0 To a degree, even guys like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were evolutions of Michael Jordan, who were all dominant scorers and utilized strong post games and mid-range shooting to amass their points.\u00a0 But then Steph Curry came along playing like he were a video game character, and launching twenty three pointers a game, but the thing was that he was still hitting like 8-9 of them every single game and next thing you know he\u2019s cleared 25 points on threes alone.<\/span><\/p>\n I used to root against the Warriors because I\u2019m resistant to change and I had a hard time accepting the Golden State Warriors<\/em> as championship material, and then I rooted against them because nobody likes seeing top dogs continue to succeed. \u00a0But regardless of how ambivalent I am towards the NBA in general, there\u2019s no denying that rooting for or against the Warriors, Steph Curry is a phenomenal talent, and seeing him drain threes from all over the floor is truly awe-inspiring and never isn\u2019t entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sure, it was an all-star game, where nobody plays any defense, but still.\u00a0 In the span of a single 48-minute basketball game, Steph Curry still sank an astounding 16 three pointers.\u00a0 Now if you\u2019re doing the math, that means he scored 48 points on treys alone, so it\u2019s funny to see that his final score … Continue reading Steph Curry hit 16 threes in a game<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,100,129,133,99,58],"class_list":["post-48457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-basketball","tag-comparison","tag-nostalgia","tag-old-man","tag-reminiscing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48459,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48457\/revisions\/48459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
