The Universe of Discourse : “Steph Curry: fluke or breakthrough” ten years later
A ten-year follow-up on a 2016 prediction about whether Steph Curry's record-breaking 402 three-point field goals in the 2015–16 NBA season was a fluke or a breakthrough. The author concludes the prediction was largely correct: three-point shooting has fundamentally transformed basketball, with league-wide attempts and scoring from three-pointers rising dramatically. However, one specific prediction — that other players would regularly exceed 300 three-pointers — did not materialize, as only Curry himself has done so consistently. The analysis draws parallels to Babe Ruth's transformation of baseball through the home run.
