When the Philadelphia 76ers made the trade for James Harden, it was clear that the Sixers would have sent more than just Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets. Seth Curry was also one of the other sent to the Nets, but his impact on the Sixers can’t be denied.
Despite being known as the younger brother of superstar Stephen Curry, Seth Curry has made his own name in the NBA. He has the fourth-highest 3-point percentage of all-time and is second all-time among active players.
Curry departs from the Philadelphia 76ers with an all-time 3-point record.
Now that he is no longer a member of the 76ers, Curry holds the all-time 3-point percentage record for the franchise. His Sixers career mark is tied with Dana Barros at 42.6 percent, with him above Barros according to Basketball Reference.
Curry is also 21st all-time in franchise made 3-pointers with 226. If he had finished this season with Philly, he could have easily passed Isaiah Canaan and Nik Stauskas. There was also a chance he could have passed former teammate Danny Green, as well as, Jodie Meeks and Willie Green.
It should be noted that prior to the trade, Curry was having a down year from the arc. He was shooting 40.0 percent from deep, which was the lowest of his career since a two-game stint with the Phoenix Suns in the 2014-15 season.
Curry was so good at making 3-pointers, but it never seemed like he attempted enough outside shots. It made fans wanting more from Curry, yet he was never able to consistantly develiver despite averaging a career high 15.0 points per game with the Sixers this season.
For now, Curry is first in 3-point percentage for the Philadelphia 76ers all-time. Fans and the club should thank him for his contribution, but only time will tell if his spot in hisotry will hold true.
