Which one is more threatening, Curry’s three-pointer or Durant’s mid-range shot?

In today's league, Curry's three-pointers and Durant's mid-range shots are not only their killer moves, but also unsolvable. So which one has the greater threat?

Last season, Curry's three-point shooting percentage declined by 39%, which was a significant decline from 44% at his peak. Judging from the actual game situation, when Curry met defensive experts, such as Thunder Caruso and Rockets Amen Thompson, his three-pointers were basically no threat. At most, he used his teammates to cover his teammates and suddenly shot two shots, but this was far from killing the game.

Durant's mid-range shooting percentage last season still maintained a high of around 52.3%, which is due to his height and wingspan, which is 2.10 meters tall and 2.25 meters. Such height and wingspan makes the defender at a loss and can only watch Durant shoot.

From the above data, we can find that Curry's three-pointer threat is gradually declining, while Durant can still maintain an unsolvable high shooting rate. This is also why Durant won the honor of Best Player in the Finals for two consecutive years with the Warriors.
