In 2016, he became the first player in NBA history to win the MVP award unanimously, a feat even legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James never pulled off. That season, he averaged 30.1 points. There were no debates, no split votes—every ballot had Stephen Curry’s name on it.

By December 2021, he passed Ray Allen’s long-standing record of 2,973 career threes, but Curry didn’t stop there. With his accuracy, volume, and longevity, he extended his lead and made it nearly impossible for anyone to catch up. At this point, he’s at 3,957 three-pointers and counting.

Curry is the most automatic shooter from the charity stripe in NBA history, with a career free-throw percentage above 90%. The crazy part is that he’s done it with volume by averaging over four attempts per game. While other players have had significant single-season percentages, no one has combined consistency and longevity like Curry.

Performing under pressure is one thing. Doing it on the NBA’s biggest stage, year after year, is something else.

He has also proven his ability to hit clutch shots and change the momentum of a series.

In 2015-16, Curry set the single-season record with a ridiculous 402 three-pointers. Before that, no player had ever even reached 300. The sheer volume and efficiency of his shooting that year were unheard of. He was pulling up from 30 feet like it was a layup and hitting shots that made defenders shake their heads.

Some players get lucky and catch fire for one crazy shooting night. Curry does it regularly. He holds the record for the most games with at least eight made threes, which makes the extraordinary seem routine. While others might hit that mark once or twice a season, Curry has done it more than 70 times.

Elimination games bring out the best in superstars, and Curry proved that in the 2023 playoffs. Facing the Sacramento Kings in a do-or-die Game 7, he exploded for 50 points, the most ever in a Game 7. He was relentless, torching defenders with deep threes, crafty finishes, and mid-range jumpers.

Reaching 2,000 career three-pointers is an elite milestone, but doing it in 597 games? That’s Stephen Curry-level absurd. The previous record-holder, Ray Allen, needed 824 games to hit that mark. Given how his shooting has only improved with age, this record might as well come with a “good luck beating this” sign.
Most Three-Pointers Made in a Single Playoff Season

Curry doesn’t just dominate the regular season—he saves some of his best shooting for the playoffs. In 2015, he drained 98 three-pointers in a single postseason and set a new NBA record. With defenses locked in and every possession magnified, that level of shooting is nearly impossible to sustain.

Curry was on a mission when the 2016 Western Conference Finals rolled around. He buried 32 three-pointers over seven games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the most ever in a playoff series. With Golden State down 3-1, he led the charge in a stunning comeback and proved once again that when his shot starts falling, history follows.

Curry led the NBA in total three-pointers for five straight seasons, from 2012-13 to 2016-17. He set the standard in an era when shooting was becoming more critical. While new sharpshooters emerge every year, no one has sustained Curry’s dominance over such a long stretch.

Knocking down multiple threes in one game isn’t unusual for Curry. He holds the record for most consecutive games with at least two made threes and extended his streak to 53 straight games in the 2015-16 season.
