Golden State Warriors’ superstar
Stephen Curry made NBA history by becoming the first player to
surpass 4,000 career 3-pointers. He achieved this milestone during
a commanding 130-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings.​

Curry reached the 4,000 mark
with a 28-foot 3-pointer in the third quarter, a moment that was
met with enthusiastic applause from the home crowd. Despite
contributing 11 points in the game, Curry played a facilitating
role, allowing teammates like Draymond Green, who scored a
season-high 23 points, and Jonathan Kuminga, returning from injury
to add 18 points off the bench, to shine. ​

This victory extended the
Warriors’ winning streak to six games, improving their season
record to 34-28. Head coach Steve Kerr praised Curry’s dedication
and longevity, suggesting that reaching 5,000 career 3-pointers is
within the realm of possibility if he maintains his current form
and health. 

Curry’s unprecedented
achievement not only solidifies his status as the NBA’s premier
shooter but also sets a benchmark that may stand for years to come.
His influence on the game has been transformative, inspiring a
generation of players to prioritize long-range shooting and
changing the dynamics of modern basketball.​

As the season progresses, the
Warriors look poised for a strong playoff run, with Curry’s
leadership and shooting prowess at the forefront of their
success.​
