On Thursday against the Sacramento Kings, Curry became the first player in NBA history to reach 4,000 made 3-pointers when he made his second 3 of the game with 8:19 to go in the third quarter. Curry is the league’s all-time leader in made 3s. In his 16th season, Curry leads the NBA in 3s made per game (4.5) in 2024-25 and will make about 60 more by the end of the regular season. Considered the greatest shooter of all-time, Curry will continue to add to that number this season, next season and likely the season after that, conjuring what was once an unfathomable number.
As three Sacramento Kings players went for the ball, Moses Moody collected it and quickly found Curry. After a pump fake and a sidestep, Curry drilled a 28-foot 3-pointer from the right wing, becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 4,000 3-pointers at the 8:19 mark in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors' 130-104 win at Chase Center. Curry entered the night two 3s shy of the milestone. He passed Ray Allen's record of 2,973 made 3-pointers on Dec. 14, 2021, at Madison Square Garden and has added more than 1,000 to his record. "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.
In the timeout that followed Curry’s 3-pointer, the Warriors played a video message from Andris Biedrins, a former Warriors center who assisted on Curry’s first career 3-pointer. "I'd call it an emotional moment on the bench when I saw (Biedrins). They didn't tell me that they found him and got a video message from him. That was my vet when I was here my rookie year," Curry said postgame. "I would love to have quizzed our team on the bench and see if anybody knew who that was, because that was such a long time ago. . . . Really cool to kind of think back how far I've come from the first one to four thousand, which is crazy." Curry said he could sense the energy in the building in anticipation of witnessing history.
