All-Star Stephen Curry: The Greatest Shooter of All Time

How Stephen Curry Became the NBA's All-Time Leader in Three-Pointers

Today is the last day of filming for "Mr. Throwback," an upcoming Peacock series premiering Thursday, August 8th. In this long-read piece, we'll find out how Stephen Curry became the greatest shooter of all time. It wasn't an easy journey, but he broke the record back in December.

From Undrafted to Underrated

Stephen Curry was not a highly touted recruit coming out of high school. He was undersized and didn't have the flashiest game. But he did have one thing that no one else had: a pure shot.

Curry went on to star at Davidson College, where he led the Wildcats to the Elite Eight in 2008. He was then drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the 7th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

Curry didn't become a star overnight. He spent his first few seasons in the league developing his game and learning from his more experienced teammates.

The Rise of the Splash Brothers

In 2012, Curry teamed up with Klay Thompson to form the "Splash Brothers." The duo quickly became one of the most feared shooting tandems in the NBA.

With Curry and Thompson leading the way, the Warriors went on to win three NBA championships in four years. Curry was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player twice during that span.

The Greatest Shooter of All Time

On December 14, 2021, Curry broke the NBA's all-time record for three-pointers made. He surpassed Hall of Fame guard Ray Allen with a three-pointer in the second quarter against the New York Knicks.

Curry is now the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers made with 2,974. He is also the only player in NBA history to make over 3,000 three-pointers.

Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. He has revolutionized the game of basketball with his incredible shooting ability. He is a role model for young players everywhere.
