Stephen Curry’s Pursuit of Shooting History
The Golden State Warriors pulled off a surprising win against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, with their star player Stephen Curry leading the charge. Curry’s impressive performance included 28 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists in just 33 minutes of play. This victory pushed the Warriors to a 34-28 record, placing them as the sixth seed in the competitive Western Conference.
Approaching the Unthinkable Milestone
During the game, Curry showcased his exceptional shooting skills by sinking five three-pointers out of nine attempts, bringing him closer to an astonishing milestone. In December 2021, Curry made history by surpassing Ray Allen’s record of 2,973 career three-pointers. Just weeks later, he became the first player to reach 3,000 threes. Now, the iconic point guard finds himself on the brink of another unprecedented achievement with 3,982 career three-pointers, only 18 shots away from the 4,000 mark.
A Legacy of Record-Breaking
Curry’s impact on the game extends far beyond his imminent milestone. He currently holds numerous prestigious shooting records, including the NBA’s all-time three-pointers made record, the single-season record for most three-pointers made (402 in 2015-16), the playoff record for most threes made (618), and the Finals record for most threes made (152). Despite being 36 years old, Curry continues to demonstrate his elite skills, averaging 24.1 points and 6.3 assists with an impressive 61.3% true shooting percentage in his sixteenth NBA season.
Anticipating History in the Making
As Curry inches closer to the historic 4,000 career three-pointers mark, fans eagerly await the moment when he will etch his name in the annals of basketball history once again. With his remarkable consistency this season, averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game, the upcoming home game against the Sacramento Kings on March 13 presents a prime opportunity for Curry to achieve this remarkable feat. As the basketball world holds its breath, Curry’s pursuit of shooting greatness continues to captivate fans and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest marksmen in NBA history.
