Widely considered the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry may have finally found his match. The son of a sharpshooter himself, Curry has always had a knack for shooting rather than any other aspect of the game. And both the tests of Curry and his father Dell were put to test recently when the four-time NBA champion was handed a loss in front of a jam-packed crowd.
If there is one thing that Stephen Curry excels at, it is shooting the long ball. Be it off the dribble, with a hand in his face, or falling down. Curry does manage to sink it every time he can. However, here the son finally got schooled by his father.

It is no accident that Stephen Curry went on to become the greatest shooter the game has ever seen. Certainly, both sons have their father’s DNA for knocking down the long ball with ease.
But it was Steph that put the work in and one can assume worked closely with his father to set himself apart. His three-point shooting is exquisite and what makes him an even bigger threat is Curry does not even have to cross half-court to knock down shots.
