Stephen Curry is the shooting revolution personified, and this shelf is a tactics and records subject as much as a player one. Drafted seventh overall by Golden State in 2009, he won the Most Valuable Player award in 2015 and again in 2016, when he became the first unanimous winner in league history, and he collected four championships with the Warriors between 2015 and 2022. In December 2021 he passed Ray Allen to become the leading three point scorer in league history, a record stated here as the banked milestone it is. The deeper subject is geometry: Curry's range stretched defensive schemes past their design limits, moved the league's shot selection toward the arc, and made the pull-up three a standard weapon. The quizzes cover the three point records in anchored form, the unanimous MVP season, and the revolution of the game deep dive, all built from completed events rather than nightly totals.
The front door of the Curry shelf, built only from banked milestones. Drafted seventh overall by Golden State in 2009 out of Davidson, league MVP in 2015 and 2016, four championships between 2015 and 2022, and the career three point record set as a completed event in December 2021. Ten questions on the shape of the whole record.
