Steph Curry put together another incredible offensive campaign in the 2022-23 NBA season, but he achieved a rare statistical milestone for the second time in his 14-year career.
Curry finished the season shooting 49.3 percent from the field, going 50-40-90 in percentage points for the season.
The two-time NBA MVP rebounded from last year’s subpar 3-point shooting season (38.0 percent), making 42.7 percent of his shots from long range this year, which is seventh best in the NBA.
The greatest free throw shooter in NBA history had another outstanding season from the line, finishing third in the league by making 91.5 percent of his field goals.
Curry is one of seven players in NBA history to register a 50-40-90 season and accomplished it with his consensus MVP season in 2015-16. Only Kevin Durant (twice), Larry Bird (twice) and Steve Nash (four) have done it multiple times.
The reigning NBA Finals MVP finished the season averaging 29.5 points, 6.3 assists and 6.1 rebounds in 56 games.
