Would Curry be this Good in the 90s?

The short answer is yes, and it’s weird to think otherwise.

Curry is by far the best shooter that the world has ever seen, and some people think that he couldn’t survive in the 90s? Curry might even dominate! The 90s was a time where three point shooting wasn’t as prolific as it is in today’s game. The Golden State Warriors have broken several three point attempt and three pointers made records. A big reason being Curry. Curry transcended the game that we see today. Many people thought that a team couldn’t win a championship mainly shooting jump shots including myself. Taking shots more than 30 feet away from the basket would have definitely been frowned upon in the 90s, now it’s a shot that Curry takes with regularity that many people have confidence in. The biggest reason why Curry would be successful is because he was something that that era had never seen before. Defenses weren’t designed to stop somebody from pulling up from 33 feet.

Many people in order to rebuttal these claims would say that it’s a more physical era where hand checking was legal, and some players would even guard him 94 feet. All these statements are true. Nothing to be concerned about though. When mentioning this, people don’t talk about the assumption that playing in a more physical era would also encourage Curry to play more physical. If you play in a tougher era, you don’t…
