#1 Stephen Curry
No point guard has had a bigger impact on how the modern game of basketball is played than Steph Curry. The Golden State Warriors sharpshooter awed the NBA universe with his ability to drain a bucket from literally anywhere on the court and forced other franchises to follow suit.
It is because of fellow Warrior Klay Thompson and him – the Splash Brothers – that we see teams rack up so many shots from downtown. It is because of this duo that stretching the floor is a compulsory trait for modern age centers. Curry laid the foundation for the formation of the most dominant dynasty of this decade in the Warriors who made five straight NBA Finals from 2015 to 2019, winning three of them in the process.

Following an unheralded 2015-16 season where the Warriors achieved the best regular season win-loss record (73-9), Chef Curry became the first unanimous MVP in the history of the league. he also became the 7th member of the 50-40-90 club in the aforementioned season.
Currently recovering from a hand injury, Curry has shot at an accuracy of 43.5% from downtown throughout his career and is certainly the greatest shooter in NBA history.
