"Steph Curry isn't the best 3-point shooter in the NBA. It's Ray Allen."

"You just say Steph Curry because you're a Warriors fan." Uh, no. This is an example of Grant talking out his ass. He does it often. He went on to say that Ray Allen is a more complete player and that he plays defense. This is a common problem for Grant. He starts arguing things that have nothing to do with the original statement. "Does Kobe Bryant wear shoes? Am I right? OK then. You just lost the argument." I prefer to let the stats do the talking. According to an article on NBA.com, Steph Curry is the top shooter in the NBA for several reasons, among them... • Of all players who made 500 three-pointers by age 24, Curry has the hightest 3-pointer percentage. • Curry, Magic Johnson, Walter Davis, Kevin Johnson and Michael Jordan are the only five guards in NBA history who had .582 or better true shooting percentages--with 500 field goals made--by age 24 • Steph Curry has posted four of the best nine three-point shooting percentage seasons in NBA history for players with at least 2.0 makes per game. When looking at this year's stats, you can see Steph Curry at #3 on the 3-pt FG% list, but this doesn't do justice. He had BY FAR, the most 3-point attempts this year. To do this over such a broad number of attempts is incredible. He's not just the best shooter in the game today; he may be the greatest pure shooter of all time.

In this picture, you can see Curry ended as the #3 shooter with respect to 3-point FG%. Anyone want Calderon or Korver over him?

In this picture, you can see the number of shots he took. He's the only one who took 600 three-point shots, and the next two are way down in rank on FG%.

So, does anyone want Ray Allen over Curry? Comment.
