Steph Curry Shatters NBA Record In Historic Performance
Steph Curry Shatters NBA Record In Historic Performance...
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry made NBA history Wednesday night by breaking the league's all-time single-season three-point record. The 38-year-old guard drained his 403rd three-pointer of the 2025-26 season during the third quarter against the Denver Nuggets, surpassing his own previous record of 402 set in 2021.
The milestone shot came at 8:42 PM ET during a nationally televised ESPN game at Chase Center in San Francisco. Curry finished the night with 44 points and 11 three-pointers as the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 128-119. The performance sparked immediate celebrations across social media, with #StephRecord trending nationwide on Twitter.
Curry's record-breaking season comes amid renewed MVP chatter as he leads the league in scoring (32.1 PPG) while shooting 45.2% from beyond the arc. The Warriors currently hold the Western Conference's second seed with a 52-24 record. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released a statement calling Curry "the greatest shooter in basketball history."
The timing of the record explains its viral popularity. With just six games remaining in the regular season, basketball fans had been tracking Curry's chase for weeks. Sportsbooks reported record betting activity on Curry's three-point props Wednesday night. ESPN's broadcast drew 7.8 million viewers, the network's highest regular-season NBA audience since 2019.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters postgame: "What Steph's doing at this stage of his career defies logic." Teammate Draymond Green added, "We're watching greatness every night." Curry himself downplayed the achievement, saying he's "just trying to help us win games" ahead of the playoffs.
The record caps a remarkable late-career resurgence for Curry, who many analysts had written off after injury-plagued 2022 and 2023 seasons. His performance this year has sparked debate about whether he's having his best individual season at age 38. The Warriors next play Friday against the Phoenix Suns, where Curry will look to extend his new record.
