It’s a rare misfire for sharpshooting Curry this season

Korver has been dubbed Threezus, so Curry is Lord of the Let-’er-Flies.

“He just sees the game better,” Fraser said.

But 50 percent? That’s X-ray vision.

Nobody in basketball history has pushed the limits of threepoint shooting like Curry has. What he’s done with threes is the shooting equivalent of a moon walk. But 50 percent for such a high-volume shooter is absurd.

Take it from a man who knows: Steve Kerr. The Warriors’ head coach is No. 2 on the season three-ball percentage chart (52.4 in 1994-95). Top dog is Korver (53.6 in 2009-10). Kerr shot over 50 percent in a season three times.

But where Curry is attempting an average of 10.7 threes per game, Korver and Kerr each shot 2.1 per game in their best seasons. In Korver’s highest-volume season, he attempted six threes per game, and shot 49.2.

Said Kerr before the game: “You would expect (50 percent) from a guy who’s just going to stand there, be wide open and shoot three of them a game. There have been a couple of guys who have done that.”

Pause for laughter. Continue:

“But in terms of flying around like Steph does, shooting off the dribble, shooting the volume of threes that he does, shooting the half-court shots at the end of quarters, fearlessly, it’s almost impossible to do that over the course of a season. But I don’t put anything past Steph, that’s for sure.”

Volume of shots, that’s where Curry’s three-balling strains the credulity. On the list of career three-pointers made, Curry is No. 5, with 2,222, which is 751 behind leader Ray Allen. But Allen played 1,300 regular-season games; Curry has played less than half that, 643. Everyone ahead of Curry played at least 1,126 games.

On this season’s list of most accurate three-ball shooters, nobody among the top 18 takes even half as many threes per game as Curry.

It’s easier to make threes if you take a lot of ’em? Tell that to James Harden, the only player in the league who shoots more threes than Curry. Harden shoots 11.1 per game and makes 37.3 percent.

If Curry hits the 50 percent mark, or even if he has a routinely spectacular season of shooting threes, Kerr deserves an assist. Playing in Kerr’s flowing offense, designed for Curry, has allowed him to evolve as a long-ball shooter from “crazy good” to “shut up.”

Not only did Kerr design an offense to maximize Curry’s talents, the coach also blended Klay Thompson and then Kevin Durant into the mix so seamlessly that defenses can’t concentrate on Curry.

Crazy stat: Going into Wednesday, Curry, Thompson and Durant were each taking an average of 19.7 shots per game. If Kerr is so smart, in the second half of the season, let’s see him get DeMarcus Cousins 19.7 shots per game, too.

As for Curry, is it possible for him to join his own exclusive 50-10 Club: 50 percent on threes for a season while attempting 10 per game?

“Sure,” said Jonas Jerebko on Wednesday. “He could shoot 60 percent.”

Right. And man could walk on the moon.
