Stephen Curry has the most number of three-pointers in the history of the league. So it doesn’t come as a surprise to many that the two-time MVP has a three-point percentage of 44.3. However, NBA fans were shocked when they realized that Curry isn’t leading the 3-point percentage table this season. This stat has left NBA Twitter in shambles.

Brooklyn Nets small forward Yuta Watanabe leads the 3-point percentage table with a stat of 55.6%. Yuta Watanabe, who previously played for the Toronto Raptors, entered the off-season as a free agent. The Brooklyn Nets signed him for one year. In the 13 games he has played, Watanabe has shot 60% from the floor and has spent an average of 17.7 minutes on the court. Having said that, NBA fans were in disbelief at his season stats.

Fans were quick to type out their reaction to this stat. The tone of surprise was constant throughout most of the reactions. Despite having the likes of Kevin Durant, the Brooklyn Nets had a new player leading the 3-point percentage. This fact was rather impressive to the fans. “He got Kevin Durant and Seth Curry as teammates and yet he has a better 3pt FG %….wow,” said one tweet.

Stephen Curry and his season so far

Despite not leading the 3-point percentage stat this season, Stephen Curry has been on fire for the Golden State Warriors. With an average of 32.8 points per game, Curry has been leading the Warriors’ points from the front. While applauding Curry’s effort, Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr said, “You run out of adjectives to describe Steph’s play.”

Coach Kerr also praised Curry’s efforts on the defensive end. He believes that Curry is simply much bigger and stronger than before. Kerr said, “He is unbelievable.” However, Curry’s efforts have largely been in vain.

The Warriors are yet to win a game away from home. They are placed 11th on the Western Conference table with 7 wins and 9 losses. However, Warriors star Draymond Green believes that panic has not set in. He said, “I think guys are starting to find their rhythm and it’ll all come together. It’s a process.”
