Not in a game but in practice, where the average NBA \"scrub\" can be seen knocking down 10 or more threes in a row.<\/p>\n<p>I'm obviously being sarcastic and just felt like making \"the greatest shooter of all-time\" knocking down 69-of-75 threes in practice not look so damn impressive. The most impressive thing about Curry rarely missing threes for three minutes is him knocking down 38 in a row, which is six more in row than he made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dimKf5n4EKw\">in this video<\/a> of him and Kevin Durant doing the \"30-by-35\" workout.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting exhibition looks night and day compared to how he's been shooting against the Rockets. In Game 2, he only made 1-of-8 threes and is now 2-of-13 for the series. You can defend him by saying he's not 100% healthy but he did make 44% of his threes against the Pelicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Steph\u2019s healthy.\" Coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2018\/05\/18\/nba-playoffs-stephen-curry-said-he-will-never-lose-confidence-in-his-shooting\/\">Steve Kerr said<\/a> after practice. \"He\u2019s moving fine. But this is more rhythm than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only need one\u201d Curry said. \u201cThat\u2019s all I need...I don\u2019t really need any. I have confidence in myself. Teammates have confidence in me to do what I need to do. I never worry about it. I know how hard I work at it. It\u2019s not a false sense of confidence. I know how hard I work at what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Teammate Kevin Durant was also asked about Steph's shooting slump. He responded by saying he's not one bit worried about it and agreed that Steph is the \"best shooter to ever play.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wPVpjmXW-p8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JKSlmH7jul0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Back to the original shooting video, it ends with a cameo of coach Steve Kerr talking to his former Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen, who has been in the news recently for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dF3N3P-OcgU\">changing his mind<\/a> about the \"Who is the GOAT?\" debate for the 38th time.<\/p>\n<h3>GILBERT: THE BEST \"SHOOTER\" IN PRACTICE?<\/h3>\n<p>My favorite \"he hit how many\" story belongs to former Warrior Wilt Chamberlain.
