The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors are now the greatest 3-point shooting team in NBA history.

Its amazing. They're within one basket of each other.
AND what about SUPER Delegate 3-pointers? Don't they count extra?
“...and Commando!
Arnold promised to kill him last, but the schedule was tight so he ended up dropping him off a cliff on the way to kill another guy. Fun flick.”
Yeah, and when the guy was hanging upside-down over the edge of the cliff the guy said, “You said that you would kill me last!” Arnold replied, “I lied.” ;-)
Got to see him play when he was with Davidson at a SOCON tourney.
thanks!! I was hoping someone would do that.
boy, arnie was a beast in the day
I agree with your comments about the NBA.
However, I also happen to think that they are the best-conditioned athletes on the planet:
01. ) Play a game tonight in Portland, Oregon:
02. ) Run 90-foot sprints for almost three hours.
03. ) While you are running the 90-foot sprints, get prodded, elbowed, kicked, nudged, tripped and listen to insults both from the opposing players and from the fans.
04. ) After the game catch the red-eye to Miami or New York.
05. ) Get to the destination when the Sun is just coming up over the horizon.
06. ) Good luck with trying to sleep during the day.
07. ) Start at 02. ) above again.
08. ) Do that from September through April with only a few days off.
From the Rockford Files episode - The No Cut Contract. Meathead guest starred.
I love basketball, but IMHO the best conditioned athletes on the planet are 1) elite boxers 2) soccer players (routinely run 10Ks or more every game, much of it sprinting; and no time outs). That's not counting marathoners etc.
Do soccer players play every day?
Do elite boxers box every day?
No, but when the season is in full swing they can play every 3rd or 4th day. I agree that basketball players are well-conditioned, but at the elite level soccer players have to be able to play two 45 minute halves (again, no time-outs, and you can't be subbed off and then back on), with 15 minutes in between, and run over 10K per game. Individual basketball players generally don't average more than 35 min per game.
“Do elite boxers box every day?”
I was talking about their conditioning specifically while training for a fight.
“Steph Curry is a class act”
DITTO! And so is Steve Kerr. And the rest of the team is right there, too.
I think the man Steve Kerr replaced was a class act. And Steve Kerr benefited from the man turning the team from nothing into a powerhouse.
Indeed. They are a fun team to watch
