Over the last decade or so, most teams have been shooting three-pointers like never before.
While many have found success with this strategy, no team has come close to the Golden State Warriors.
The primary credit for making it possible goes to none other than the great Stephen Curry and his elite three-point shooting.
When it comes to knocking down shots outside the three-point arc, Stephen Curry is regarded as the best.
Speaking of which, Curry attained an unseen record as he knocked down more than 80 three-pointers in the first 15 games of the season for the third time in his career, as revealed via the. Golden State Warriors’ official Twitter handle.

The Golden State Warriors have struggled to win games this season, but it’s not due to Stephen Curry’s fault.
If anything, he is having one of the best regular seasons of his career.
Apart from already knocking down 80 three-pointers this season, Curry is averaging 29.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game for the Warriors.
He’s also shooting a terrific 48.4% from the field, 44.2% from downtown, and 93.8% from the charity stripe.
Despite Curry’s elite numbers over the first 15 games of the season, the Warriors are just 8-9 right now.
They are the 10th seed in the Western Conference right now.
Sure, they are still in a spot to compete in the Play-in Tournament if the season ends right now.
But fans expect more from a team that has the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins on the roster while being coached by Steve Kerr.
