Stephen Curry has once again demonstrated why many consider him the best pure shooter in NBA history. In a recent video, Curry showcased his impeccable shooting skills, leaving fans and critics in awe.

One viewer humorously noted, "That team in white really sucks at defense," highlighting the stark contrast between Curry's prowess and the opposition. Another comment pondered, "I wonder what it would look like filmed in landscape," suggesting that Curry's skills are so impressive, the video quality hardly matters.

The video has sparked debates about the future of basketball, with one user asking, "At what point will basketball just be two players trading half court shots?" This sentiment underscores the transformative impact Curry has had on the game. His influence is so profound that one commenter mentioned, "Steph Curry has more claim to the GOAT title than LeBron. LeBron is an all-time great, sure. But Steph is too - AND he changed the way basketball is played not only in the NBA, but also internationally."

Comparisons to other greats have also emerged. While some still hold Larry Bird in high regard, as one user stated, "My money is still on Larry Bird," others believe Curry has already secured his place as the best. One enthusiastic fan declared, "He’s already taken that crown. He is the best shooter of ever in basketball."

Skeptics, however, remain. One commenter remarked, "Not saying he doesn’t have a claim to it, but even Ben Simmons puts out a similar clip every damn off season. This doesn’t prove anything, this is warm ups." This highlights the ongoing debate about Curry's consistency and performance under competitive pressure.

Despite the differing opinions, the admiration for Curry's talent is undeniable. A user humorously noted, "No mouthguards were injured during the making of this film," while another quipped, "Note to self: do not challenge Stephen Curry to a game of HORSE."

In summary, Stephen Curry's latest video has once again ignited conversations about his legacy. Whether viewed as the best shooter in NBA history or simply a transformative player, Curry's impact on basketball is undeniable. As one fan aptly put it, "There's no one even close to Curry in the history of the sport, in terms of shooting. He is also one of only a handful of players who changed the way the game is played."

Not saying he doesn’t have a claim to it, but even Ben f***ing Simmons puts out a similar clip every damn off season. This doesn’t prove anything, this is warm ups. Lots of guys can bang out crazy threes outside of competition.
