Stephen Curry is No. 15 on The Athletic’s ranking of 75 greatest players ever because his accomplishments are wholly impressive. Three-time NBA champion. Two-time MVP, one of 12 players to win back-to-back MVPs (2015, ’16), including first unanimous selection in ’16, when he led the league in points (30.1), steals (2.1) and free throw percentage (.908). Only Rick Barry has led the league in all three categories and never in the same season. The preeminent and premier 3-point shooter, who sets a new record every time he makes one. As of this writing, he has 3,050 made 3s, already 77 ahead of Ray Allen, the previous record holder, and 506 made 3s ahead of the next active player on the all-time list: James Harden. At .907, Curry is the career leader in free throw percentage, as well. It should be no surprise that he’s among the top 10 in career true shooting percentage at 62.3 percent, sixth-best in league history. He’s also the only one under 6-foot-5.
