13 years into his career and Stephen Curry has established himself as the greatest shooter the sport of basketball has ever seen. What the Warriors MVP has managed to do with the rock and the usage of the three-point line, is beyond impressive. Over the course of his eminent career, the 2-time MVP has completely redefined the way modern basketball is played.

Creating history and breaking records is something Chef Curry has been doing on a nightly basis, throughout his career. However, this past month The Baby-Faced Assassin just achieved the most esteemed 3-point record possible. The 7-time All-Star surpassed Ray Allen (2,973) for the all-time 3-point record.

Without a doubt, Curry has perfected the craft of shooting the ball into the hoop. In a recent interview, the future first-ballot Hall-Of-Famer spoke about his love for the art of shooting he has commanded over for the last decade.

“My love for just shooting the basketball has always been a part of me as a basketball player. The interesting part is in the way you have to reimagine how you approach the art of shooting. You have to figure out a way to keep elevating your skillset. Especially with shooting.

Over the course of the last 4 or 5 years developed a good workout and a good kind of method with my assistant coaches that I truly rely on.

I know I’ve been blessed with a certain skill set but the work that goes into it is something that I’ve pride myself on because it’s what has set me apart.”
