Stephen Curry: Golden State Warriors star becomes first player to reach 4,000 three-pointers

Curry became the all-time leading scorer for three-pointers in 2021 when he surpassed Ray Allen’s record of 2,973 at Madison Square Garden.

His achievement in the 130-104 win against the Kings was celebrated with a tribute on the big screen during a timeout shortly after the basket landed.

“It’s a clear milestone threshold,” Curry told ESPN.

“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.

“It’s beyond my wildest dreams to push a record that far.”

The Warriors sit sixth in the Western Conference after recording a sixth successive win, with the Kings in ninth.

Curry ended the game, which took place a day before his 37th birthday, with 11 points and five assists.

The four-time NBA champion boasts several three-point records, including the two longest streaks for most consecutive regular-season games with at least one three-pointer made (268 and 157).

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is second on the list of most three-pointers with 3,120.
