Many consider Golden State Warriors superstar PG Steph Curry the greatest shooter in NBA history, and that is well-deserved. However, with GS surging to the top of the NBA to start the 2021-22 season, it is safe to say that no one is playing on the same level as Curry right now. With a blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets and a comeback victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to cap the week, Curry has helped Golden St. send a message to the league to start the season. They are back, and the NBA’s best player is leading the charge.

Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA but there is so much more to his game that allows him to show off his greatness. While everyone loves his sharpshooting and ability to finish around the rim in numerous ways, it’s his ball handling, ability to read ball screens, as well as move off the ball, that separates him from everyone else.

The Warriors have had to retool their roster the past two seasons after a five-year run that saw three championships and five appearances in the NBA Finals. Two years without fellow marksman Klay Thompson has allowed Curry to flash his brilliance at an even higher level. He has continued that so far this season, averaging 29.5 PPG with 42% 3PM. Steph continues to achieve unprecedented feats this season, and nobody on the planet is playing better basketball than ‘The Chef’ right now.
