Stephen Curry Makes NBA History: Surpasses 4,000 Three-Pointers with Ballet-Like Grace

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has etched his name deeper into NBA history by becoming the first player ever to reach 4,000 career three-pointers. Achieving this milestone during a dominant 130-104 victory against the Sacramento Kings, Curry's performance was nothing short of legendary.

A Milestone Beyond Numbers

Coach Steve Kerr compared Curry’s movement on the court to a 'ballerina,' emphasizing the artistry behind his game. "It's beyond the numbers. It's the fluidity, the grace, the audacity," Kerr told ESPN. "You're not just watching sports—you're watching art."

Curry needed only two threes to hit the 4,000-mark when he stepped onto the court at Chase Center. He sealed the achievement in the third quarter, prompting a mid-game tribute on the arena’s big screen.

The Significance of 4,000

Breaking Ray Allen’s previous record of 2,973 in 2021 was monumental, but Curry pushed the boundary even further. "It's beyond my wildest dreams," he admitted. "This number wasn’t even realistic when I passed 2,974."

With this milestone, Curry cements his legacy as the greatest shooter in NBA history. Among his other records:

• Longest streak of consecutive regular-season games with at least one three-pointer (268)
• Second-longest streak (157)
• Four-time NBA champion

Where Does Curry Stand Now?

• Career Three-Pointers: 4,000+ (No. 1 all-time)
• Ranked Behind Him: James Harden (3,120)

The Warriors, now 6th in the Western Conference, continue their push toward the playoffs with Curry leading the charge. As he celebrates his 37th birthday, the question remains: How much higher can he set the bar?
