OT: Could Steph Curry score 100?

[aTotal360]

Last night Steph played for 30 mins and took 24 shots and scored 46. Kobe took 50 shots and scored 60. Assuming Steph's percentages would have remained the same while taking 50 shots, you could roughly project 90+ points.

We've seen Steph make some incredible shots, but I don't think we seen him go "unconscious" yet. Let's say there is a night where he plays 44ish minutes. Takes 45 shots, 30 of them being 3s, and goes to the foul line 20 times. Assume he goes 22-30 from 3, 8-15 from 2, and makes 18-20 FT...that's 100. Taking 30 3's sounds silly, but a 3 for Steph is a 2 for 98% of the league. The biggest issue is getting Steph to the foul line 20 times. I think that is the most improbable part.

It's hard for a game to allow a player to take 30 or 40 shots. Especially for the Warriors, because the offense flows through Klay and Green at times too.

Also, it's hard for guys shooting deep to hit that many shots in a game too, because you wear down.

Possible? Sure. But it'll never happen. At least not Curry on this roster.

I agree. It would take a concerted effort from the entire team in semi meaningless game. Didn't someone want the scoring title one year and went out in the final game on a mission to get it? Who was that? David Robinson maybe?

I agree. It's not like Wilt Chamberlain where he could just overpower and basically - be taller than everyone else.

It was David Robinson. I think he scored 70 that game.

if he got a free pass to shoot like kobe, i could see him doing it if he gets hot.

Can't remember who it was, Shaq maybe, but I'm pretty sure whoever Robinson beat out for that scoring title also got ike 60+ on that final day.

It was against Shaq but he didn't score that much...
