Everyone thinks that an influential person has to be a person who is a politician or the typical Rosa Parks and MLK. What many people don't know is that in the world of athletes, there are tons of influential people like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry is one of the all-time great basketball players. He is well known, with no debate, as the best three point shooter the world has seen. He started out not well known but later as the years past in the league he made a name for himself "With the season he's having, everybody is acting as if they believed in his talent from the start, but he had to fight his way up from day …show more content…
He influenced the league to get better at shooting and now younger players (Rookies) who are coming into the league have an elite three point shot like Jordan Hawkins. During the 2018 Warriors playoff run “Curry made eight 3-pointers, more than any other player in postseason history” (“Steph Curry”). Curry was the first person in the postseason to display this type of masterful shooting performance. He still to this day holds records for the most threes made in a postseason game. He influenced the league by taking more and more threes in the postseason and influenced his own teammate Klay Thompson to beat Curry’s very own record.

Curry at one point even thought of quitting basketball because of the excessive amount of early ankle injuries. He pushed through it and now players like Chet Holmgran are influenced by him to keep playing despite a brutal early career injury. Stephen Curry is the world's finest marksman. Also known as the best three point shooter the earth has seen. He influenced the players of the NBA to improve their three point shooting so that everyone could compete in the league today, which is a high shooting
