Stephen Curry has solidified his place in the list of best shooters in NBA history. His ability for long-range shooting has become quite evident, and with time, it keeps getting better. He is known for three-pointers, and every season, he keeps on improving his skills. Currently, he holds the record for the most number of three-pointers (3477). He is also the first player who has 10,000 career points with just three-pointers; this shows how insane a player he is.

Stephen Curry went from 38 to 105 in 7 years
In an old interview from 2013, Stephen was asked about the highest number of three-pointers that he ever made and he replied “38”. He also admitted that it was not good enough because other players were better than him at that time.
” From the NBA line, it’s not that many, it’s 38. It sounds crazy, but I’ve had teammates who have shot more, according to their own stories. But I can get better. I haven’t reached my ceiling yet on how well I can shoot the basketball.” Stephen said
After 7 years of this interview, in 2020, a video surfaced on the internet where Stephen Curry made 105 three-pointers in a row. It shows how much he improved over all these years. Stephen is currently one of the finest players in the NBA.
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry in a three-pointers contest
Klay Thompson broke Stephen’s record for most number three-pointers in a single game (14). Klay kind of seems to be close to Stephen Curry when it comes to the ability to shoot long-range. The best thing is that they both play for the same team, which is not a great thing for other teams. Steph and Klay are both important players of the Warriors and have led their team to win multiple times.
