Stephen Curry Makes NBA History with Remarkable 3-Point Streak
In a stunning display of shooting prowess, Stephen Curry etched his name in NBA history during Wednesday night’s matchup against the LA Clippers. With a remarkable 26-foot 3-pointer at the 9-minute mark of the third quarter, Curry became the first player ever to sink seven or more 3-pointers in four consecutive games, solidifying his status as a legendary sharpshooter.
Despite the Golden State Warriors falling short in a 130-125 loss, Curry’s individual brilliance shone brightly as he tallied a game-high 41 points, including nine 3-pointers on 19 attempts. This extraordinary feat adds to Curry’s already impressive resume, showcasing his unparalleled ability to change the course of a game with his long-range shooting.
Throughout his illustrious career, Curry has consistently demonstrated his prowess from beyond the arc, averaging 28 points per game, along with 4.9 assists and an astounding 42.1% shooting from 3-point range this season alone. His remarkable consistency has seen him eclipse the 10-trey mark in a single game on 12 occasions, with a career-high of 13 3-pointers set on November 7, 2016, against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Reflecting on Curry’s journey, it’s worth noting his historic milestone just over two years ago in December 2021, when he surpassed Ray Allen as the all-time leader in 3-pointers made, solidifying his place in basketball lore. Currently boasting a staggering 3,640 treys in his career, the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer continues to redefine the boundaries of long-range shooting, inspiring generations of players with his remarkable skill and dedication to the game.
As Curry continues to dazzle audiences with his unparalleled shooting prowess, his legacy as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history only continues to grow, cementing his place among the league’s all-time greats.
