Stephen Curry is on his way to asserting his position as the best 3-point shooter in NBA history. Currently, Curry is one of the three greatest shooters in the league with 2,483 successful 3-point shots. He also holds the record for the record number of 3-point shots in a season with 402 successful shots in the 2015-2016 season. In recent developments, Curry continued to set another unprecedented record in the NBA.
With 4/5 successful 3-point shots in the match against the Los Angeles Clippers, Curry officially reached the memorable milestone of 400 3-point shots in the playoffs.
He is the first person in history to achieve this memorable milestone, far ahead of those behind Ray Allen (385) and LeBron James (370). Having just turned 30 and still in his prime, Curry promises to further extend his impressive record. Many people even believe that Curry can completely reach the milestone of 500 3-point shots if the Warriors go deep next season.
But Curry’s joy was not complete when his team Golden State Warriors lost to weaker opponent Los Angeles Clippers with a score of 121-129 right at ORACLE Arena. Personally, Curry also did not play very well with 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Of these, up to 4/5 3-point shots were successful, reaching an efficiency of up to 80%.
However, on the outstanding day of the duo Lou Williams and the entire Clippers team, Curry could not help the Warriors close this playoff series soon. This result helps Clippers temporarily narrow the gap between the two teams to 2-3 in this BO7 series.
Even though they lost the match, the Warriors still have the right to self-determination in their hands. With just one more victory, Curry and his teammates will be the ones to move on. Besides, the advantage of playing at home will also give more strength to the “Warriors”. Game 6 between the two teams will take place on April 27.
