Stephen Curry is one of the most highly discussed players in the entire NBA and for good reason. On a nightly basis, he puts on shooting clinics against the best athletes in the entire sport and often times scores effortlessly.Last year’s unanimous MVP is set apart from other players in the league because of his talent and skill shooting the basketball. He and his Golden State Warriors teammates have broken the math behind the game with their shooting touch.This season, teams are shooting more three pointers than ever, which follows two straight years of the exact same phenomenon happening across the league.With the three-ball becoming more and more important to modern basketball, having a point guard who can literally pull up from anywhere on the court is basically a cheat code in today’s NBA.In the 2016-17 season, Curry’s numbers shooting the ball are down from the most recent MVP campaign, but new evidence shows that he is still getting it done from deep.Tuesday night Oakland’s squad faced off against the Dallas Mavericks on the road at the American Airlines Center. Chef Curry’s first make from behind the arc vaulted him into elite company for three-pointers made.

That make was number 270 on the season which would tie him for fourth all-time with himself. Even more staggering is that he owns the mark for fourth already with his 2012-13 season in Golden State.

To put it in perspective, Curry owns four of the top five three point shooting seasons of all time. He ranks first, second, fourth and fifth in most three pointers made within a given season.

Last year’s gaudy total stands at the top of the list and will be up there for the foreseeable future as he knocked home 402 triples during the 73-win campaign. His first championship season stands at second with 286.

Even more hilarious is that Klay Thompson owns the third most made in a season with 276, which gives the Splash Brothers a monopoly on the top five list.

Golden State has an extreme luxury in both of these elite level shooters and helped their case even more by adding Kevin Durant in the offseason.

Before Tuesday’s game, The Chef was averaging 25 points a game on 46 percent shooting and nailing 40 percent of his tries from deep. That might not be as prolific as last year, but his season has been more than respectable in Oakland.
