Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors star and widely regarded as the greatest shooter in basketball history, continues to amaze the world with his legacy. A recent animation has captured the attention of fans by showing every one of the 3,841 three-pointers Curry has made during hisNBA career. From his debut in 2009 to the present, the visualization traces from each launch point to the exact moment the ball goes through the hoop, making clear his precision and genius.
Curry has redefined modern basketball thanks to his ability to score from long distance. His impact began to be evident in the 2012-13 season, when he set a record of 272 three-pointers in a single season, a mark he broke in 2015 with 286 and in 2016 with an incredible total of 402. Curry was the first player to reach 3,500 career three-pointers. He is a four-time NBA champion (2015, 2017, 2017, 2018, 2022), two-time MVP (2015, 2016) and has participated in ten All-Star Games.
But his legacy is not only in titles. In 2024, Curry participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, representing the United States in Paris. In a historic performance, he led the team to the gold medal, an achievement that adds a golden chapter to his already impressive career.
The road to stardom was not easy. During his youth, Curry faced criticism for his physique, considered “weak” for the professional level, and struggled with comparisons to his father, Dell Curry, a renowned NBA player. However, with tireless hard work, he overcame expectations and established himself as a transcendent figure in professional basketball.
Beyond the court
Curry doesn’t just shine in basketball; he’s also a role model off the court. With a record contract that secures him more than $200 million, he has used his influence to support social and humanitarian causes, such as his fight against malaria. He is also a role model for millions of fans, showing how perseverance and humility can lead to success.
Today, Stephen Curry is much more than a player; he is a living basketball legend. With more than 3,841 three-pointers made, his record will likely remain unbroken for decades. His gold medal at Paris 2024 reaffirms his place not only as one of the NBA’s best, but as a global icon of the sport.
