Curry reaches 4,000 3-pointers milestone

Curry entered the Warriors’ 130-104 win over Sacramento needing two triples to reach 4,000.

The sharpshooting guard reached the mark after hitting from downtown with 8:19 left in the third quarter.

Even the Kings fans at Golden 1 Center rose to their feet and cheered as Curry made the shot, while a tribute played on the big screen during the next timeout.

“It’s a clear milestone threshold,” Curry told ESPN before he reached 4,000 3-pointers made.

“A number that I didn’t think about, that it was realistic even from 2,974, which is a number that means the most because that was the record at the time.”

Can someone surpass Curry’s record?

Curry, who accomplished it a day before his 37th birthday, finished the game with 11 points, five assists, and two 3-pointers.

The two-time MVP passed Ray Allen’s previous record of 2,973 career 3-pointers at Madison Square Garden on December 14, 2021. 

“It’s just such an obscene number,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told ESPN.

“It’s hard to even comprehend, and who knows, maybe it’ll be broken someday.”

“… [But] it’s beyond the numbers. It’s the fluidity and the grace. Yes, it’s the audacity [to take some of the Curry 3s], but it’s also the emotion and the beauty of it all. It’s mesmerizing. You see his movement on the floor. He’s like a ballerina out there. You’re not just watching sports, you’re watching art.”

Curry said he’s unsure how far he can extend his record.

LA Clippers star James Harden ranks second behind Curry with 3,120 career three-pointers.

“I don’t know how many more I got after that,” Curry told ESPN.

“Keep pushing it to as far as I can. I think it’s one of those things that just puts into perspective just how the game has changed, and I’ve been able to be a part of that.”
