Kyrie Irving did not fail to greet Stephen Curry after their last duel, explaining that he was obviously still motivated by the idea of challenging the Warriors leader, for whom he had nothing but respect.
“I don’t know if we’ll ever give the fans what they really want, in terms of our individual matchups, but it’s just exciting to be in the league with a guy like that, and to see him break records every season » explains Luka Doncic’s friend. “For my part, I’m still trying to have a 50/40/90 season this year, and I think he’s done it once or twice already. »
Succeed in a season with more than 50% overall shooting success, 40% on 3-pointers and 90% on free throws? Stephen Curry did it well once, during his 2015/16 season.
A little general address to collect
Only Larry Bird (twice), Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash (four times), Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant (twice) and Malcolm Brogdon have also achieved it. But also Kyrie Irving, during the 2020/21 season!
The Dallas leader could therefore become the fourth player to succeed several seasons in the “50/40/90” club. To do this, he would need to slightly improve his general percentage over the last five Dallas games, which is “only” 49.3% (531/1076) while he is good at 3-points (41.1%) and on free throws (91%).
And thus be a little more precise than Stephen Curry, who will not be able to join this club again, the fault of his general address (44.3%). Even if Kyrie Irving repeats that he only has positive things to say about his opponent.
“It’s easy to sit back and say negative things about a guy like that. But no, it’s only positive”concluded the former Cavaliers, Celtics and Nets. “Except that when we enter the field, we attack each other. This is how it should be. »
