Curry’s career true shooting percentage (.626) is higher than Larry Bird’s (.564), Magic’s (.610), and Durant’s (.616). He is the most efficient high-volume scorer in playoff history, not just regular season.
The next time someone tries to underrate Stephen Curry, don’t argue with them. Just show them a clip of two defenders sprinting to the logo—leaving Draymond Green in a 4-on-3—as Curry stands 35 feet away, smiling, having done absolutely nothing except exist.

When Curry is on the court, the average distance of his defender to the basket is 3 feet farther than for any other player in history. That means his teammates shoot wide-open layups. It doesn’t show in his box score. But it shows in championship banners.
