It may be challenging to fully uncover Stephen Curry’s secrets that have propelled him to become the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history, but the Golden State star has shared some insights into his skills. With numerous records in long-range shooting and currently holding the record for the most three-pointers made in NBA history, Curry continues to intrigue fans with his remarkable shooting abilities.

During a recent appearance on a podcast, the Golden State Warriors’ star revealed a glimpse into what helps him excel in shooting overall and specifically from beyond the arc.

While still keeping some tricks up his sleeve, Curry discussed a crucial aspect that he values both in training and during games.

“The rhythm of shooting is one of the most important, if not the most important aspect of every shot. And to find rhythm with each shot, you have to do something difficult, which is maintaining balance,” said Stephen Curry.

“When playing, I constantly have to move to find the smallest openings. Between movement and shooting, we need to find a way to decelerate, allowing the body to find balance before taking the shot. Working on balance is a long process that involves hard work. That’s why people often see me practicing shooting while standing on one foot, two feet, leaning left, leaning right, or even slightly leaning forward or backward.”

Stephen Curry believes that maintaining balance is a crucial factor in shooting and hitting three-pointers.

Expanding on the topic of training, Stephen Curry emphasized the importance of practicing at a game-like speed. This way, the body gradually gets accustomed to the pace of competition, allowing the effectiveness in training to transition into real game situations.

“What fans see on the court is the result of a lot of training time. Every time I’m in practice, my personal trainers and I always recreate scenarios that I might encounter in games, including time pressure and score pressure.

Immersing yourself in such demanding environments helps you have better training results, getting used to the movements and finding balance both physically and mentally for each shot,” added Curry.

Despite the constant movement, Curry always directs his body toward the basket with the best possible balance when taking a shot.

As of now (before the games on November 25), Stephen Curry has made 3,463 three-pointers in his career, spanning from 2009 until today. Alongside holding the record for the most three-pointers made in NBA history, Curry boasts an impressive career average of 42.8% from behind the arc, a figure that stands among the highest in the NBA.

In the current season, the “Chef” set a new record for consecutive games with at least four made three-pointers, starting the season with 13 such games. This streak was recently broken on November 23 against the Phoenix Suns.
