Curry scored 52 points and hit 12 three-pointers against the Grizzlies today. At the age of 37, he can score 52 points, which is very rare in the history of the NBA. After watching this game, many fans lamented the length of Curry's career peak. It seems that at the age of 37, Curry is still in his prime. How exactly did Curry do it? Perhaps we have to analyze it from three characteristics of him. It was these three characteristics that contributed to the length of his career.
Oddly accurate shots
Curry is undoubtedly the greatest shooter in NBA history, and he's out of gear. Many fans may think that the projection of players such as Ray Allen and Reggie Miller is very accurate. But they still seem to be players in second gear compared to Curry, who is undoubtedly the exclusive first gear. His oddly accurate shooting allows him to do anything on the court. Because the fundamental purpose of basketball is to put the ball in the basket, Curry can shoot the ball anywhere in the half court and hit it. That alone can make him incomprehensible on the basketball court.
Quick shots
Of course, it's not enough to have accurate shots, there are many traditional shooters in NBA history who have shot very accurately, but none of their careers have been as long as Curry's, and their prime tends to end quickly. This comes down to the fact that as they get older, their stability decreases when shooting, including the impact of the opponent's defense, which makes their shooting efficiency seriously decline, and they naturally retire prematurely.
But Curry is different, he has a quick shot, and it only takes 0.0 seconds for him to make a shot. In other words, the opponent must stick to him when defending him, and only in this way can he defend very successfully. But no player can do such a good defense, players will be distracted on the court, as long as Curry is given a little space, he can complete the shot in 0 minutes and seconds, which is why Curry is difficult to defend, his shooting speed is too fast.
Powerful off-ball movement
The most important reason why Curry is still in such good shape at the age of 37 is because of his ability to run off the ball. And the ability to run off the ball is definitely a talent, and many players can't imitate it if they want to. Because he needs a strong aerobic running capacity to support it. Curry's endurance on the court should be the best in history, and many players even vomit during breaks after a training session with Curry. It's enough to prove that Curry's training style and the way he plays on the court is something that many players can't imitate. There are a lot of top scorers in the league, but most of them are offensive with the ball, and few are as top on and off the ball as Curry.
Therefore, these three characteristics make Curry's career peak very long, and many fans think that Curry will still be a scoring machine even if he is 40 years old, because these three characteristics can make his career infinitely extended, and even surpass the cognition of many fans. We'll see how old Curry will get.
