Stephen Curry Makes NBA History with 4,000 Three-Pointers. Stephen Curry has become the first player in NBA history to hit 4,000 career three-pointers, solidifying his status as the greatest shooter of all time. Entering the game needing two threes, Curry hit his first in the first quarter, but the record-breaking shot came in the third quarter as he sidestepped a defender and buried a deep triple. Fans at Chase Center erupted in “MVP” chants as Curry’s achievement was honored with a tribute video featuring current and former Warriors players. Speaking after the game, Curry called it a “special moment” to reach the milestone in front of the home crowd, adding that he felt the energy in the arena. In 2021, Curry surpassed Ray Allen for the most three-pointers in NBA history. Since then, James Harden has overtaken Allen for second place on the all-time list. When asked if he was thinking about reaching 5,000 threes, Curry said he’s focused on the present: “Being out here with this fresh milestone is pretty cool. Who knows? … I’m staying in the moment.” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted he never imagined Curry reaching 4,000 but credited his work ethic and longevity for making history. Golden State, fueled by the midseason addition of Jimmy Butler, has climbed from 10th to sixth in the Western Conference, winning 12 of their last 14 games. Since Butler’s arrival, Curry has averaged 30.9 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.4 rebounds, playing some of his best basketball of the season. With the playoffs approaching, Curry remains confident in the Warriors’ ability to compete for a fifth championship, stating, “I like the idea that we can confidently say we can beat anybody.”
