Curry, upgrade again! Multiple data points are stronger than the period of winning the MVP with all votes

At present, the Warriors have a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, tied with the defending champions for the top spot in the Western Conference, and Stephen Curry's efficient performance is a great credit. At the age of 35, he has achieved further promotion this season, joining the "180 Club" and averaging over 30 points per game. His multiple statistics are even better than when he won the regular season MVP with all votes!

So far this season, Curry has hit 55.1% of the shots in 6 regular season games, averaging 5.5 three-pointers per game with a 46.5% three-point shooting percentage, and 5.7 free throws per game with a 94.4% free throw shooting percentage, which is the standard "180 Club".

Although Curry has had a 47.5% shooting percentage in 888 regular season games so far in his NBA career, he had only one season before with a shooting percentage of no less than 50%, which was 50.4% in the 2015-16 season. This season, Curry has greatly broken his record for the highest shooting percentage in a single season; Despite having a 42.8% three-point shooting percentage in the regular season throughout his NBA career, Curry still broke his personal NBA career record for the highest three-point shooting percentage in a single season this season.

Some people may say that Chris Paul's arrival has made Curry's attacking efficiency higher. I don't deny this factor, but don't forget that Paul's arrival has not affected Curry's attacking quantity. Curry's average of 5.5 three-pointers per game this season will break his NBA record if it continues until the end of the season. Despite his four year low average of shots per game in the regular season, his average still reaches a new high of 30.8 points in the past three seasons!

Many people are amazed by LeBron James's 20-year stability, but they overlook the real case of Curry also being an enemy of Time Elder. In the long history of the NBA, there was only one person who, after the age of 33, could still average 30+points per game in a regular season. That was James in the 2021-22 season. However, at that time, James played an average of 37.2 minutes per game and averaged 21.8 shooting points per game, which was much more than Curry this season. However, his average score per game was 30.3 points lower than Curry's.

At the age of 35, Curry has had the most efficient season of his personal NBA career, and his expertise is not just in three-point shooting. This season, Curry has averaged 6.0 shots per game within the three-point line and has a shooting percentage of 72.2%! It is worth mentioning that last season's MVP winner Nicola Jokic's two-point shooting percentage for this season was only 70.6%, while last season's regular season MVP winner Enbide's two-point shooting percentage was as low as 52.9%! The best center in the NBA today has a two-point shooting percentage lower than Curry!
