Curry has just surpassed Ray Allen to become the NBA's new all-time three-point king, and James broke Abdul-Jabbar's record of 38,387 points. Curry is still at the top, the 37-year-old James is still at the peak of the tail, and the fans are definitely looking forward to them more than that. So let's boldly imagine what it would be if Curry shot 4,000 three-pointers and James scored 40,000 points. Whether they are possible or not, there is naturally an answer after analysis.
First of all, Curry's three-pointers, Curry currently has 2977 three-pointers, and this season must have easily broken 3000 three-pointers. With 5.4 three-pointers per game this season and about 50 games remaining in the season, curry will not be difficult to shoot 200 three-pointers even if he takes a break. By the end of the season, Curry should have been able to shoot around 3,200 three-pointers.
Looking at James, James currently has 35811 points, and there are 2576 points left before 38387 points. At the end of the season, James can at least get 1,000 points. Then he and Abdul-Jabbar are about 1500 points apart, and next season as long as he does not get injured, he can surpass it with his eyes closed. Once surpassed, the gap between 40,000 points and about 1,600 points is achieved.
Curry is still about 800 three-pointers at the end of the season, can reach 4,000 three-pointers, according to his state and team status, a season of 300 three-point guarantee, 350 in good shape, then in Curry's 36-year-old appearance, that is, after 3 seasons, he is expected to achieve. Curry's playing style is not easy to be injured, and the state will not be too bad after 3 seasons, when 4,000 three-pointers are basically achieved.
At the end of the next season, James still needs to take 1600 points to break 40,000 points, and the technical data has slipped a little, and it can be done in up to 2 seasons. According to James' status, he can score 40,000 points when he is 40 years old. We fully believe he can play that long, Abdul-Jabbar has played to 41, James is 40 years old is completely fine.
It can be seen that in an ideal state, after 3 seasons, Curry and James have a good chance of achieving 4,000 three-point and 40,000 super feats. Maybe in 3 years we can witness a miracle moment, let's wait and see!
