Stephen Curry’s remarkable career in the NBA stands as a testament to his extraordinary talent. As the face of the Golden State Warriors (and some would say, the face of the NBA), Curry has redefined the art of shooting with his unparalleled proficiency from beyond the arc, setting numerous records along the way. He holds the impressive title of having the most consecutive games with at least one three-pointer made, a streak that underscores his consistent scoring ability and resilience. Curry’s record-breaking achievements extend beyond this, including being the fastest player to reach 2,000 and the only to make 3,000 career three-pointers while not only consistently maintaining one of the highest free-throw percentages in the league, but all-time.

Okay that’s too many spoilers. Let’s take a look at some of his records.

Three Pointers

The first and most obvious Steph Curry record to bring up is the 3-pointer which is nearly synonymous with Curry’s name. While 3-pointers were creeping their way into the game, it was Curry who kicked the door down and made sure that long-range bombs had a definitive impact on an NBA result. This is backed up by his 3-pointer record, which sits at 3,536, and easily way ahead of #2 on the list Ray Alen’s 2,973. Let’s just put Curry in the Hall-of-Fame now. If he can play another two seasons, Curry will breach the 4,000 mark, making his record nearly impossible to break. It’s doable, of course, but there’s only one Steph Curry.

Hell, Curry will likely lead the league in four-point plays by the time he retires.

Games with Nine or More 3-Pointers

As we’ve established, three-pointers are effortless. So far, Curry has approximately 39 games with nine or more 3-point field goals– a feat all the more impressive when you consider that the player in second place is Damian Lillard with 13, and teammate Klay Thompson has only 12. The gap between these players is massive, and Curry doesn’t look close to lessening it. 

Highest Free Throw Percentage

As one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Stephen Curry has solidified his legacy with a remarkable all-time leading free throw percentage of 91.01%; a full 0.7 percentage points ahead of Steve Nash. That doesn’t seem like much but considering that one or two misses can bring down the percentage by 0.1 percent. This statistic not only showcases his incredible precision and consistency from the free-throw line but also underscores his meticulous focus and dedication to the art of shooting. Curry’s free throw prowess is a testament to his tireless work ethic and relentless pursuit of perfection, making him a standout even among the elite players. His ability to maintain such a high free throw percentage over the course of his career is a clear indicator of his exceptional skill and mental fortitude, further cementing his status as a basketball icon.

Consecutive Games with 3-Pointer Made

We’ve mentioned how hard it is to score consecutive 3-pointers, so this record kind of speaks for itself when you put it into context. Stephen Curry’s record of 286 consecutive games with at least one three-pointer made is an extraordinary feat that cements his legacy as one of basketball’s most phenomenal shooters. Curry made at least one 3-pointer for 286 consecutive games.  This impressive streak, which showcases his remarkable accuracy and range is worth reminding you that these scores aren’t made in practice – although the 77 threes in a row which was amazing, but then he hit 107 in a row which is almost unbelievable if you didn’t see it for yourself.

His streak of 286 games was accomplished in a tense game atmosphere, full of pressure and expectation. Curry also owns the second-longest NBA streak of made threes with 157 games.

Most 3-Pointers In a Season

In the 2015/16 NBA season, while Curry was busy building a 157-record for consecutive 3-pointer games, he also made the record for most 3-pointers in just one season with an incredible 402 triples. Once again, we need to point out how important this record is in the makeup of the game. As of today, Klay Thompson holds the record for single-game 3-pointers at 14, while Steph Curry sits at 12. But it’s these season-long – and even year-long – 3-pointer records that are important. Curry hasn’t just had an astonishing game, he has completely converted the long-range into his playing style, and by doing so, he has changed the way the NBA is played forever.

Curry’s influence stretches beyond the court; his style of play has revolutionized basketball, making the three-pointer a central aspect of the modern game and inspiring a new generation of players. With a combination of extraordinary skill, work ethic, and a flair for the dramatic, Stephen Curry’s career is not just remarkable for its statistical achievements but also for the indelible mark he has left on the sport.
