Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors created NBA history on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies by making his 300th three-pointer of the year. Curry increased his lead for the most seasons with at least 300 three-pointers made in NBA history with this, his fifth consecutive season of doing so.
Curry stands apart from the rest due to his unique blend of volume, efficiency, and difficulty on three-point attempts. No one else possesses the same amount of precision and skill while making three-point shots. Curry, who is without a doubt the best shooter in the history of the sport, set and broke more shooting records against Memphis on Wednesday night.
Curry is still a player of superstar status, but the Warriors have not been able to move up from the 10th spot, which has been a frustrating season for them. The Warriors’ chances of finishing ninth or tenth are increasing, which means they will need to win two play-in tournament games to qualify for the postseason.
With the exception of Curry, Golden State’s roster has been erratic throughout the season; until recently, Jonathan Kuminga was the only reliable backup. For a Warriors team that is already flawed, this has made things much more difficult, but they still think they can finish strong and have a big postseason run.
