I am reluctant to dismiss what the Warriors have done the past two seasons with a "Back in my day..." hand wave. That isn't to say they are better than the great dynasties of NBA past, but they also have a superstar doing things no one else in the history of the game has ever done. The Warriors use the three-point shot like no other dynasty in the history of the league.

Curry is the first player ever to shoot 50% from the field, 40% on three pointers, 90% from the line and lead the league in scoring. Curry was the first player ever to hit 300 three pointers in league history, and be broke the 400 mark before any other player in the history of the league ever got to 300 three pointers in a season. I am old enough to remember prime Larry Bird and what a feared, deadly three-pointer shooter he was. In Bird's greatest three-point shooting season, he still made less than 25 percent of the three-pointers Curry made this season. Curry has made more three-pointers over the past two seasons than Larry Bird made in his entire career. That's how the game has evolved, and the Warriors take advantage of that better than anyone else.

The four greatest seasons in terms of three-point field goals made in a season are three seasons by Steph Curry and one by Klay Thompson. IMO, it is difficult to justify that the current Warriors team would not belong on the court with any of the great teams of the past when they are so proficient at perfecting the modern NBA game of an offense that exploits the three-point shot.

Curry is phenomenal. Best pure outside shooter I can remember since Reggie Miller. Congratulations on winning 73! I'll be pulling for you guys in the playoffs.

What an amazing season! And now the real fun begins.

Re- comments about how they play, and have taken advantage of the 3 (among other great things they do-- pass unselfishly, rebound, play strong D) like no other team before them... I've heard the suggestion that the NBA move the 3 point line out further to balance things out. Funny thing is, if they did so, it would probably just benefit the Warriors more. At one point this season, Steph was hitting over 60% of his shots from 28 feet or more, including half courters. I don't think Klay minds shooting from 30 feet either. Unreal.

I think I could, at least from 1900 on. I'd guess Ed Walsh, as I know he had 40. I think Jack Chesbro also had 40.

Pre 1800? I would have no idea. Pud Galvin?

73 wins is incredible, no matter how you cut it. But for this season to be truly "one for the ages", they need to carry that dominance over to the playoffs, and win it all. The '95-'96 Bulls that won 72 games only lost one game in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and went 15-3 overall in winning the NBA Championship.

Pretty sure he's talking about team wins which are the Cubs and Mariners (think 116?).. Think been mentioned earlier in this thread too)

... But pitching yes, is Chesbro for post 1900, Old Hoss Radbourn has pre-1900 mark. I'm pretty sure I've seen Hoss's listed anywhere from 61 down to 58. Think it's officially 59 now. Old Hoss also liked to flip the bird whenever he got the shot. Seemed quite the character.
