Warriors: Steph Curry Hits 77 Straight 3's in Practice; 94/100 Overall (!!)

[Venti Quattro]

Shooting wide open is very easy, once you get the proper mechanics and footwork down it's simple. Knock down a few, remember what it felt like making those shots, then it becomes almost impossible to miss.

Stop it

Can you even make 77 in a row in your own rec park? That's right, so stop talking about things you clearly have no ing clue about.

Probably not, I don't play basketball. I can still knock down around 80/100 3pters, especially at the top of the key, once you get into a rhythm it's almost impossible to miss. Form and technique is everything, I used to be a ing terrible shooter, but once I learned proper form I was lights out.

Most guys have terrible form because they learned wrong.

A game is entirely different as well, there is fatigue, and movement which affects your footwork, contests affecting your release point/speed etc.

I wonder how many Kyle Korver has hit in a row

[apalisoc_9]

No one in this thread is a pro.. so obviously no one can hit as many...my kl2 knows what he's talking about.

you don't need to hit 77 in a row either to know what you're talking about..That mentality is flawed.

I've done 19 in a row three pointers..so obviously these pro can hit 2x

Oh and if you dont hate on GSW you are a bandwagon got ....

that cute little team

SA is a very big concern for GS though, not gonna deny that. Just funny how a lot of posters are feigning hate and animosity on the Dubs just because they are doing very well.

Oh, I agree spurs are still the faves ...
But if GSW didnt bother them a little it would be a non-story.
Maybe GSW is just a glorified version of SSOL Suns with steph in the NAsh role ...but the hate they get on here is funny.

Anybody can knock down shots when wide open, regardless of age/position/size. The fundamentals can only take you so far though.

In game situations require you to remain composed, you have to create enough space, rush your release affecting your form. What separates NBA guys from non NBA guys is the ability to create space on offense. Space is basically the distance between you and the defender, how well they're able to contest your shot.

Space can be created through ball handling, crossing a guy up and forcing him off balance, leaving you open for an easy shot. Moving without the ball like Danny Green, fakes/footwork such as Duncan or Melo on the perimeter, bodily contact like Kawhi Leonard or Z-Bo, etc.

Plenty of guys such as myself, can shoot lights out, but I cannot do the other stuff that'd allow me to get my shot off during an in game situation at will like NBA guys.

I remember getting into the zone and hitting 26 in a row once, it felt awesome. 77 is pretty impressive though. Thats great he trys so hard with those wide open 3s though. It will expose him in the playoffs when he actually has a good defensive team facing him who can shut him down. Although he makes alot of ridiculous in game shots, they generally are not good shots that he takes. He takes alot of 3's to showboat around with various gy gestures. Thats not going help them win a championship with that play style.

It's the media. Plus their team is unlikable.

Anyone can shoot when you're wide open, a game is different.

You don't think dramatically improved muscles help with long range shooting?

I once saw a do entary about these training methods, dramatically improves the reflexes and muscle structure of a human being. They even had a 2nd and 3rd episode, and then a few years later, the do entary was so popular that they had a remake of it, and I think they are up to the 2nd episode of the remake.

The do entary is called Spiderman, all you have to do to improve your training is to find a genetically engineered spider, and have it bite you. Everyone is using it. Jordan was bitten by a genetically engineered mosquito, that's why he can fly through the air. Kobe was bitten by a snake, a black mamba I think.

Of course, if a team is blocking your championship aspirations they are obviously unlikable. But if you take a step back and see things from a more neutral perspective, you would appreciate how the Warriors play. The most enjoyable team to watch in years.

*cue the Suns SSOL references even though the Warriors play defense*

I once hit 5 3's in a row at school in practice and it's not really that hard to hit open 3's without even a lick of defense. But still hitting 77 straight 3's is indeed something worth noting.

LOL@the Choker for going only 17/23 to finish it.

Insert Player X (preferable TP9 or Westlottery) was bitten by a (ball-)hog joke.

On September 12, 2001 I made 2997 straight 3s.

Nobody on this forum could make 20 NBA 3's in a row let alone 77 even if the arena was empty without cameras on them.
