Stephen Curry has achieved his 4,000 threesome in the NBA and keeps the Golden State Warriors on a playoff course.
“This is obviously a milestone that means a lot to me,” said Curry: “It exceeds my wildest dreams to press a record so far.” Even the 5,000-point mark is no longer excluded. “This is just an absurd number,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr: “It is difficult to believe. But who knows? Maybe one day the record.” The 37-year-old has long been a record holder, in 2018 he overtook Ray Allen (2973), currently James Harden (3127) is his first pursuer.
Curry won 130: 104 against the Sacramento Kings with the Golden State Warriors. This means that the Warriors remain in sixth place – with good chances of directing into the playoffs.
