Stephen Curry has once again cemented his place in basketball history, becoming the first player ever to make 4,000 career three-pointers. The Golden State Warriors superstar, widely regarded as the greatest shooter of all time, reached this unprecedented milestone in yet another display of his long-range excellence.
Curry’s impact on the game has been nothing short of revolutionary. Since entering the NBA in 2009, he has redefined how basketball is played, turning the three-pointer from a strategic weapon into a primary offensive focus for teams across the league. His ability to shoot from virtually anywhere on the court, off the dribble or in catch-and-shoot situations, has made him a nightmare for defenders and an inspiration for a new generation of players.
This milestone further solidifies Curry’s dominance in a category where he has consistently set records. In December 2021, he surpassed Ray Allen’s previous record of 2,973 three-pointers, and now, just a few seasons later, he has raised the bar once again. Given his current form and longevity, it wouldn’t be surprising if he pushes the record even further beyond reach.
What makes Curry’s achievement even more remarkable is his efficiency. His combination of volume and accuracy is unmatched, making him not just the most prolific three-point shooter, but also the most effective.
With 4,000 career three-pointers and counting, Curry stands alone in a league of his own—one where no one else has ever been and where it may take years, if not decades, for anyone to catch him.
