Anybody remember Downtown Freddie Brown from the Seatle Supersonics... [View all]

back in the 70s? ESPN had a segment on about Steph Curry breaking the Warriors scoring record of Wilt Chamberlain and which had the most influence on the game—Wilt because of his prodigious scoring/rebounding etc. and Steph because of his 3-point shooting. The consensus was kind of split between the two.

I remember marveling at Freddie Brown's long-distance sniping back in the day before 3-point shooting was really appreciated as a 50% scoring benefit over the 2-point shot. He was the fore-runner of Steph Curry.
