Steph Curry opens up about historic 4,000 three-pointers milestone

Golden State Warriors veteran Steph Curry continued to rewrite the record books as he became the first NBA player to register 4000 three-pointers in the league. Curry needed only two threes before he entered the Thursday game against the Kings.

The Warriors defeated the Sacramento Kings 130-104 for their sixth straight victory. Before the game, Curry told ESPN, “A number that I didn’t think about, that it was realistic even from 2,974, which is a number that means the most because that was the record at the time.”

He continued: “It’s beyond my wildest dreams to push a record that far.”

Curry said the Kings were compact in their defense as they weren’t giving him much space.

“It was a weird night because we all knew I was two away,” the guard said afterward, per ESPN. “Made the first one in the first quarter off a transition, [Jonathan Kuminga] made a great pass. Sacramento was playing that gimmicky defense all game where they were literally face-guarding me, top-locking, and nothing was clean about it.”

Curry said it was a special moment to reach the mountain of 4000 three-pointers.

“The 2,974 [career threes] record in New York was great because it was an unbelievable environment in Madison Square [Garden], but to do it in front of my home, fans” was even better, he told reporter Allie LaForce while still out on the court. “It was a weird game because I didn’t get many attempts up but to finally get it in the third, I felt the energy. It was special.”

The veteran said he is happy living the moment when asked about reaching 5000 threes in his career.

“2,974 felt like an eternity ago,” he went on. “Being out here with this fresh milestone is pretty cool. Who knows.”

The Warriors will next take on the Denver Nuggets on Monday.
