Stephen Curry is the best shooter of all time, it has been indisputable for several years now. Proof that he is on another planet, even missing his next 500 long distance attempts, he would retain a better career percentage than Ray Allen, who many consider to be second in this prestigious ranking!

Giannis Antetokounmpo has long been singled out for his awkwardness in free throws, especially in the playoffs. Yet it is he who holds the record for the most consecutive free throws in a game in Bucks history with 17! When he is focused, he is capable of insane dexterity.

In the hierarchy of the best full backs of all time, Michael Jordan is in the lead, Kobe Bryant second, and Dwyane Wade closes the podium. But the difference between the first two and the others is abysmal. The proof, in one week in 2007, the Mamba chained 4 meetings with more than 50 points scored… That is to say more than Dwyane Wade in all his career!

No sports fan likes to live through complicated seasons, but it is sometimes a bad for a good … Indeed in the NBA, a catastrophic record often equates to a good choice of Draft, and therefore to the arrival of a potential Super star. The Pacers haven’t had that chance for a long time, as they haven’t had a Top 10 pick since 1989, the longest streak in the league. The best selection since is Paul George with the 10th pick right in 2010.

In 2011-2012, a season shortened by a long lockout, the Bobcats led by Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo achieved the worst season of all time with only 7 wins for a ratio of only 10%! The crazy thing is that they still managed to beat the Raptors twice. Even broken clocks fall on the right hour twice a day …

There are records that won’t budge right away, like Stephen Curry’s address. Even if he was forced to shoot only with his left hand until the end of his career, he would never miss 500 shots in a row!
