While we understand that the Bucks simply are praising one of their own, it is not an accurate statement because Warriors superstar Steph Curry obviously is the undisputed greatest shooter who has ever lived.

Curry -- who turned 32 years old last Saturday -- is shooting 43.5 percent from deep in his career, on 8.2 attempts per game. He is third on the all-time list with 2,495 makes.

Korver is shooting 42.9 percent from deep in his career, on 4.6 attempts per game. He is fourth on the all-time list with 2,437 makes.

Additionally, Curry is No. 1 all time in NBA playoff 3-pointers with 470, while Korver is No. 15 with 239.

The two-time NBA MVP also holds the record for most 3s in an NBA Finals game, as he made nine against Korver and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 in 2018.

The defense rests its case.
