Stephen Curry's NBA Madness

Stephen Curry will be one of, if not the best, players of all time.

Stephen Curry's NBA Madness
Business Insider

Stephen Curry has proven himself to be one of the best NBA players of all time over the course of this NBA season. His prolific ball handling skills and his ability to make shots while being guarded by two defenders from anywhere in the court is unlike anything the NBA has ever seen before. Many basketball experts and analyzers have described Curry as "unreal" and "ridiculous" for his shot making ability.

Stephen Curry's statistics for this season are unlike anything the NBA has ever witnessed before. He is averaging a monstrous 30 points per game, but that's not even the most surprising part of his stats. Curry is shooting 50 percent from the field, and a near record 45 percent from the three-point line. Taking into account the number of three-point shots he takes per game (around 11), that percentage is extraordinary. Along with those amazing percentages, Stephen Curry also makes nine out of 10 free throws per game.

The most shocking thing Curry has done this season has been breaking his own three-point record with one-third of the NBA season still left to go. He has not let up on the three-point shots after breaking the record; in fact, he is only a couple shots away from hitting 400 (in one season). Most NBA players would be ecstatic of being able to hit 400 in their career, let alone in one season. To put things in perspective, here are a couple of Hall Of Fame NBA point and shooting guards who barely reached that milestone of three-pointers in their careers:

Michael Jordan with 581.

Larry Bird with 649.

Dominique Wilkins with 711.

Stephen Curry is a pure machine on the court this year. Along with his impressive record-breaking stats, he is also leading his team to a record-breaking year. It is not often when a player can do both for himself and his team. Will the Stephen Curry madness ever stop?

We will just have to wait and see.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
