The NBA has never seen a player like Stephen Curry.

Curry doesn't possess the other-worldly athleticism of LeBron James or all-around skill set of Kevin Durant, but his shooting has changed the NBA forever.

The two-time MVP's ability to shoot from any distance, off the dribble, has forced both defenses and other offenses to change their schemes.

Curry's rise to becoming the best shooter in the NBA comes from a pattern of hard work and the intense preparation that has paid off immensely.
