There’s a reason people refer to Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors as the greatest shooter in NBA history.
Again and again throughout his career, Curry has created some of the most amazing buckets the league has ever seen.
Even at 37 years old, Curry is still the guy whom others turn to when the stakes are highest.

There is a good reason why so many people chose Curry for this category.
Last season, he averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.6 assists on 44.8 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from the three-point line.
He is still averaging the most three-point attempts and makes in the league.
It’s not just the distance of his shots that gets so much attention; it’s the way that he moves and how he seems to get even better when in a clutch situation.
That’s why he was named Clutch Player of the Year in 2023-24.
There are other players similar to Curry, such as Kevin Durant, Tyrese Haliburton, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and more.
But Curry is easily head and shoulders above them and has repeatedly shown why he can be counted on in these sorts of situations.
This isn’t the first time that Curry has won this category.
In fact, he did it last year with seven percent less of the vote.
That means that Curry is impressing more people, even as he grows older.
Last year was another campaign of Curry greatness, and now people are excited to see what he does in 2025-26.
