Golden State’s Steph Curry changed the NBA with his 3-point shooting.
Sometime next season, he will pass Ray Allen for most 3s in NBA history with a career shooting percentage above .400. He will go down as the best 3-point shooter in history.
On Sunday, Curry won the NBA All-Star 3-point contest for the second time, joining Larry Bird, Craig Hodges, Mark Price, Jeff Hornacek, Peja Stojakovic and Jason Kapono as multiple-time winners.
Curry scored 28 points in the final round to edge Utah’s Mike Conley, who registered 27 points.
Curry started slow in the final round, missing four of his five shots on the first rack of basketballs from the corner. He started to heat up on his second rack, making four of five and then finished by making nine of his final 11 shots at Atlanta s State Farm Arena.

Before his first season as an NBA head coach began, Stephen Silas’ job was made dramatically tougher with the Houston Rockets.
Russell Westbrook and James Harden both demanded trades, Westbrook got traded, and then Harden showed up late to training camp as he spent time partying in Atlanta and Las Vegas. Silas’ hire was reportedly one of the reasons behind the 2018 MVP’s trade request.
John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Kenyon Martin Jr., Eric Gordon, Chris Clemons, Mason Jones, and Ben McLemore have still not played this season as they adhere to the league’s COVID-19 protocols.
While Silas is still seeking his first head coaching win amid the tumultuous times, he may be starting to win over Harden.
