OT Stephen Curry 77 Straight 3's in Practice

[Kitaman]

Ray has only a 'short' time to enjoy being number one. That's my one disappointment, couldn't it have skipped a generation or two?

Speaking of Curry, new mix

I don't know that I can buy this either. In every 3 pt contest I've ever watched, it's rare to see someone hit 8-9 in a row. Granted, the surroundings are different...but 77 in a row? I'm also calling BS.

I've hit 32 in a row (college distance) just shooting in an empty gym with a guy feeding me. And I had no chance at getting a scholarship, much less make a living at it.

You just sometimes get in a relaxed rhythm shooting at your own pace, and muscle memory takes over. Three-point contests get you out of a rhythm by forcing you to rush a little.

Do you still have eligibility?

It will be interesting to see if Ray's record gets caught by Curry. Curry is definitely a superior player to Ray Allen in just about every aspect, but will he be able to keep this 3 pt pace up as his athleticism dips with age? Ray has a couple of inches on Curry, and seemed to have a higher release point on his shot, which helped him get his shot off as he aged. Allen was pretty durable as well. Will Curry stay healthy (ankles?)?

Not DI, but I think I could play a postgrad year at a DII.

My personal best was 20 points against Hobart in a JV game, so I'm not exactly in high demand as a rent a player.

If we could just get Purvis, DHam and TSam to take 77 threes a day....

I believe it. If you get into that shooters pocket and dont have to move and are in rhythm its game over for someone like Steph. All it takes is a slight mistake in the release or mechanics to throw you off and after a streak of 77 you probably arent getting backing into that mindset and rhythm.

I saw Jamal Coombs-McDaniel break Ray's UConn record of made FTs in a row during practice. I believe it was 101 in a row. By the time he was around 90ish the team was surrounding him and the rebounder was giving him crisp feeds right back. They would roll it back to him sometimes so he had to bend down or move to the left/right just screwing with him to try to mess with his rhythm and get him uncomfortable. He was shooting at the hoop in front of the student section at gampel that is lower and upper.
