Stephen Curry is Mr. 3,000.
With the Golden State Warriors star's first 3-pointer in Tuesday's 89-86 loss to the Denver Nuggets, Curry is now the only player in NBA history to hit 3,000 threes in his career.
It was Curry's 157th straight game with at least one triple, tying himself for the all-time league mark, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
Curry finished with 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting, including a 5-of-14 mark from deep.
The 33-year-old already passed Ray Allen earlier this month to become the league's all-time leader in made 3-pointers, but now crosses another milestone as he pads his record lead.
| Rank | Player | 3PM |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stephen Curry | 3004 |
| 2 | Ray Allen | 2973 |
| 3 | Reggie Miller | 2560 |
| 4 | James Harden | 2516 |
| 5 | Kyle Korver | 2450 |
His 3-point season total through 32 games is now up to 172. The two-time MVP averaged just over 273 made 3-pointers over his last nine seasons prior to the 2021-22 campaign, a tally that's actually weighed down by injury-afflicted years in 2017-18 and 2019-20.
If he can maintain his pace, the seven-time All-Star will likely be the first player in history to surpass 4,000 3-pointers by the time his mammoth $215-million extension wraps up after 2025-26, his age-37 season.
