BREAKING: Steph Curry Made NBA History In Nets-Warriors Game
On Saturday evening, the Golden State Warriors are hosting the Brooklyn Nets at the Chase Center.
Steph Curry is the NBA's all-time three-point leader, and he is now the first player in history to reach 3,500 career three-pointers.
The two closest players to Curry are Ray Allen (2,973) and James Harden (2,800).
Via The NBA: "Congrats to @StephenCurry30 of the @warriors for becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 3,500 career threes!"
While Curry is 35, he is still among the ten best players in the league, so there is plenty of time for him to make more three-pointers before he retires.
Therefore, it's possible no player will ever be able to catch Curry.
Curry came into the evening with averages of 28.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest while shooting 46.0% from the field and 41.3% from the three-point range in 22 games.
That said, the Warriors have struggled, and are 10-14 in their first 24 games, which has them as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.
They are 4-6 over their last ten games and in the middle of a three-game losing streak.
Following the Nets, the Warriors will visit the Portland Trail Blazers in Oregon on Sunday.
Curry is in his 15th season in the NBA (all with the Warriors) and has career averages of 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 47.5% from the field and 42.7% from the three-point range in 904 games.
He has also led the Warriors to four NBA Championships since 2015.
