    The best thing about Steph is that David Kahn passed on him, twice.

    imagine if the wolves would have drafted Curry and Derozan.... that team would have been pretty good. however, it is the Timberwolves, so they could have been doomed, lol.

    I've made more than that and believe me when I say I cannot play a lick of basketball.

    The 3 pointer is the easiest shot in the game if you've got depth perception and focus.

    Pretty sure I did. Wouldn't bet my house on the exact number as it's been decades since I spent any time shooting hoops.
    I am sure thousands of people have shot more. Ask Meyers Leonard to show you the basics and hit the gym for awhile. Way easier than free throws, for me anyway. Once made 42 hook shots as a kid from behind the arc. I never learned to dribble worth shit though, was short as a fire hydrant, and never played the game in a league.

    I'm no @MARIS61 apparently but I made 17 threes in a row earlier today. If I could spend hours every single day shooting threes I bet I could make it to 77 before I died.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't want to alarm you, but based on your testimony, you have, or had, a lot of basketball skill and should probably, at least, play in some high-level rec league.

    as a kid back in the early 80s my friend used to take me to the Jewish Community Center to shoot hoops. Occasionally Blazers would show up with a ball boy to hone their shooting. On separate occations I saw Jim Paxson & Drazen Petrovic go on shooting runs that probably tallied that high. They'd miss one and then can the next 45, miss another & then start another ridiculous run just raining deep bombs over & over & over.

    Not that 77 in a row isn't impressive, but Steph's not the only one who can fill it like that... I'd guess both CJ & Dame can too

    YeH I think they could get up there! Most I've made is 23 in a row.. My forms too inconsistent to improve from there though. If it was I know I could get past 40.

    I hit 23 also, I think I have the same problem, I just can't stick to one stroke, I blame playing horse so much as a kid.

    It ducks for me. As a 6'5 JC player if I could take that next step I could pay at a higher level. Still got time but I can never get comfortable..

    I was always a good shooter/scorer, but I never counted shots in a row I made in games or in practice. To be at my best in any sport I try to live in the moment and focus solely on the game itself. Thinking about how many points I'd scored or reflecting on sweet plays while the game was still going is a sure way to derail my mojo & game. Same thing practicing. Counting shots in a row that I'd made is a sure way to stop the count. Maybe just me...

    I like shooting sets of 5 from 5 spots (corner, wing, top, wing, corner). Told the kid rebounding that I was aiming for 20 of 25 (80%). Missed the first two, so the kid said I wouldn't get 20. I promptly buried the final 23.

    Nope. Can't dribble, took weak to block out, my vertical leaving ability is about 6 inches and have blurred vision in my right eye. I'm an average passer if there's no defensive pressure but can't get my shot up quick enough to play inside the arc.

    Also, despite 12 years of coaching winning baseball teams including a 1 point loss at the State finals, I sucked coaching Boys Club basketball. Our first 2 quarters of our first game had us up 49-25 and we lost the game by 1 point. Got blown out the rest of the season.
