Steph Curry and Kyle Korver’s historic season from the three point line in a new time-lapsed chart


I would title this chart as “MV3”.

This chart shows the top twelve 3pt shooters in the league with the x axis being the total made 3 point shots and the Y axis being the 3pt percentage. The size of the bubble is representative of how many 3 pt attempts the player had.

As you can see if you chose the teal dot to win the race, you are going home with a free dozen donuts from Dunkin Donuts.

Visually Korver’s 3 point percentage in relation to the rest of the league is outrageous. The time lapse, which spans from December to the end of the season, give us a good perspective on exactly how historic both Curry and Korver’s respective seasons have been.

Watching this over and over has new observations. For example, when it restarts for the 12th time look at relationally how high Korver is at 12/22. Also you get to see the Wesley Matthews injury happen in the form of a stagnant point on a chart.

This makes me wonder about other time lapsed charts would like. I would enjoy seeing a block chart showing Rudy Gobert after All-Star weekend sore up in the race for the most blocks in the league.
