((RAIN)) Rainmakers-Island

[crudeoil24]

Stephen Curry has been roasting opponents for much of this postseason, his spectacle of performances not only validating the MVP votes that gave him the league's top individual award but changing the way we see today's NBA. What Curry is doing right now is unprecedented.

By hitting seven of nine three-pointers in his latest outing, Curry broke Reggie Miller's mark for three-pointers made in a single postseason in nine fewer games (Miller had 58 in 22 games in 2000, while Curry took 13 games to do it). Curry, who is shooting a scorching 57.6% from three-point range in the past six games (38 of 66), has hit 64. But this is simply the playoff version of what Curry has been doing in the regular season for quite some time, as he has long since become the poster boy of the league's three-point revolution.

The dependence on beyond-the-arc scoring continues to rise to record levels, and Curry's play is doing nothing to dispel the belief that the three-ball is the best bang-for-your-buck shot around. As Curry can attest as well as anyone, the corner three is even better: according to Synergy Sports, he is shooting an absurd 91% on threes from the left corner in the playoffs.
