Different era.

If those guys were allowed to shoot as many 3's as curry, he wouldn't be in the top 10.

Yep and you can tell by who is on the list. Miller is the only player who played in the 80s on that list. Just shows you how it is all about eras and the amount of 3s teams shot from one era to the next.

I've noticed that almost everyone in the NBA gets the old shooting fouls/continuation called except James Harden. They've basically cracked down on the most notorious guys.....Harden, Lou.......but underrated guys like Lowry who picked up a ton of points from the line (he's getting 3 less FTs a game).

Watching the Blazer game and there was a play where Meyes Leonard got hit in the face, paused then threw the ball backwards into the hoop and they called it a continuation shooting foul.

It's reached the point where it's pretty similar to the NFL where no one knows what a catch is.

Yeah they not giving harden no benefit of the doubt there. And then I see guys like Derozan all the continuation calls. Crazy thing is he still leads the league in 3pt foul calls. This is helping Harden out. Ow. This usually happens to him in the playoffs and throws him off but now it's happening in the regular season and he's better cause of it because now he has to produce without those calls. He won't depend on them when the postseason starts.

You're basically the West Raptors. Stuck in treadmill hell but too afraid to take a chance on making your team better (trading McCollum/Lowry)
Whenever you trade one of your cornerstones, you never get back equal or better talent. Only way they trade McCollum is if he go with some of those bad contracts(Meyers or Turner)

It's not like he's a product of this era, Curry created this era, he's a pioneer. Nobody was hitting 3's at the clip that he was with that accuracy until him, and they can't. In fact the only player keeping up with him is Klay Thompson.
