Curry is 37 years old. Can he still hit the 5000 three-point mark? It is surprising to calculate carefully

Curry is the best scorer in NBA history, and even changed the influence of three-pointers in the professional arena. It was Curry's emergence, which promoted the development of the small ball era and made three-pointers the answer to basketball in this era, enriching the tactical system of basketball games. In the 1990s, I couldn’t shoot a few three-pointers in a game, but in today’s NBA league, almost all superstars have three-pointers. Now that Curry is 37 years old, can he still hit the 5,000 three-point mark? It was surprising to calculate carefully.

Before Curry, the NBA's top scorer was recognized as Ray Allen. He has a textbook-like shooting posture, a two-stage force, a cold-blooded killer at critical moments, and performed very well. Ray Allen has played in the NBA for 18 years. He averaged 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in his career, including 2.3 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage remained at 40%. He is an absolute top scorer. His career three-point total is 2,973, which is a great enough record.

At that time, no one in NBA history could hit 3,000 three-pointers, but Curry's appearance changed that. How great is Curry's ability? The rookie averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in the season. At that time, he could make 2.1 three-pointers per game and maintain a 43.7% three-point shooting percentage, and is already comparable to the all-time shooter. Since then, he has continued to improve, and after becoming a superstar, he has unlimited fire rights and has made more three-pointers. In 2013, he averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, and in 2016, he averaged 5.1 three-pointers per game, both of which are epoch-making.

has been playing until now, and Curry has played in the league for 16 years. He has played 1,026 games and averaged 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in his career. Among them, he averaged 9.3 three-pointers per game, the first in history. He averaged 4 three-pointers per game, which is also the first in history. Curry's three-point shooting score not only broke through 3,000 marks, but later broke through 4,000 marks. Curry has scored a total of 4,058 three-pointers so far, making him the only 4,000+ three-pointer in history.

are still 942 away from 5,000 three-pointers. In the past 10 years, Curry has averaged more than 4 three-point shootings per game in the other nine seasons except for the 19-20 seasons that were reimbursed. So it will not be difficult for Curry to maintain this output in the next few years, and 942 three-pointers will require 236 games. In the past five seasons, Curry has played more than 60 games on average, so it will take about 4 seasons to stay healthy.

Curry is currently 37 years old. Although he is not young, he still averages 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season. He is still a member of the league's second team and is still a superstar. And his big contract is still two years away. It is very likely that he will sign another pension contract in two years, and it will be 41 years old like James. So Curry has the opportunity to score a 5,000 three-point club, and the chance is not small.
