Less than a week away from opening night, Warriors fans are eager to see Stephen Curry in action once more, along with recent No. 11 overall pick Yaxel Lendeborg. Prior to the beginning of the 2026-27 season, Bleacher Report revealed a list, ranking the top 30 shooters in the NBA.
Not long after ranking Curry as a top-10 player overall, the sports media outlet named the two-time MVP as the league's best shooter. Although he missed nearly half of the 2025-26 season, it's difficult to argue against the NBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers made. Curry has shot 40% or better from beyond the arc in 13 of his 17 NBA seasons, holding a career 3-point percentage of 42.2%. He's also converted 47.1% of his field goals and sits atop the all-time list in free-throw
percentage at 91.2%, having led the league in free-throw percentage five times. Houston's Kevin Durant and Charlotte's Kon Knueppel rounded out the top three.
