Notes:
- Stephen Curry is one of the rare NBA players who managed to change the game considerably. Before Curry’s time, NBA players did not shoot as many three-point shots. Curry and the Golden State Warriors during his time were known for shooting a lot of threes and it made other general managers around the league adjust their strategies to also shoot more threes.
- Steph Curry began his NBA career wearing Nike basketball shoes. Curry joined the NBA in 2009-10 and he wore Nike until the end of the 2012-13 season. Since 2013, he has worn Under Armour. Back in those days, Under Armour was not a well-known brand it was Curry that elevated that brand a lot. In 2024, Under Armour was worn by 2.4% of NBA players.
- Steph Curry wore size 14 shoes up until his rookie season in the NBA. Size 14 was his Dad, Dell Curry’s, shoe size and Steph told himself that he was the same size. He later dropped down to a 12.5 when playing in the NBA.
- While Steph Curry was still in the NBA, he had changed the game so much and so rapidly that no matter what position you play, you’re expected to be able to shoot the basketball from long range. And we saw many power forwards and centers develop a reliable three-point shot because of it. Nobody knew it was possible to learn how to shoot the basketball from long range by practicing alone before Curry did it. There were other great three-point shooters in the past, but it was assumed they were born with the talent more than anything. Take nothing away from Curry’s talent, but it has become more obvious since Curry’s time, that practice makes perfect in this area of basketball.
