Stephen Curry throughout the 2022 season broke the record for the most three-pointers made in NBA history while being the Sports Center MVP of the year. On top of all these accomplishments, Curry showed everyone why he is the best point guard in the history of basketball.

Today’s game…
Fans will think anyone who takes a 30ft shot off a moving screen with 22 seconds left on the shot clock is considerably a bad shot. Steph Curry.

It’s been 8 games and Stephen Curry is averaging 26.6 points, 3.6 REB’s, and 4.4 AST. He is also shooting a 46.9% from the field.
