Unanimously regarded as the greatest shooter ever, Stephen Curry created history in Game Four of the western conference semi-finals. The two-time MVP is the first player to sink 500 threes in the NBA playoffs, blazing ahead of LeBron James and Klay Thompson.
The superstar behind revolutionalizing the game, Curry continues to rewrite history books with his three-point shooting accolades. Earlier this season, the Warriors superstar surpassed Ray Allen, becoming the all-time leader in three-pointers made in the regular season.
Surprisingly, this has also been Curry’s most inefficient season from beyond the arc. For the first time in his 13-year career, the Warriors superstar shot below 40%, not factoring in the 2019-20 season, courtesy of his broken hand injury.
Curry was 38.0% from the 3-point line during the regular season, with his efficiency dipping further in the current playoffs at 37.2%.

Despite having the worst season, when it comes to efficiency from beyond the arc, Curry continues to cross milestones with his three-point statistics. The latest being the only player to record 500 three-pointers in NBA playoff history.
It’s ironic how Curry continues to collect accolades, despite having some of his worst performances from the three-point line this season. The past efforts of the two-time scoring champion seem to be yielding him results in the current season.
There is no denying that Curry has set the bar high for upcoming shooters, creating a league of his own.
