Stephen Curry becomes first player with 500 playoff 3-pointers

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is already the NBA's all-time 3-point king and he added another accomplishment to his historic résumé.

Curry, 34, sank a 3-pointer in the second quarter of Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies, bringing his career total in the playoffs to 500. 

Curry is the first to ever reach that mark and one of only three to eclipse 400. The other two are LeBron James and Curry's teammate, Klay Thompson, with 432 and 405, respectively.

The milestone 3-pointer for Curry came during an awful half for the Warriors. The team missed its first 15 3-pointers of the game before Otto Porter Jr. finally sank one in the second quarter. Golden State trailed 41-38 at halftime and Curry led the team with just 11 points.

The Grizzlies are playing without their star point guard Ja Morant, who suffered a knee injury in a Game 3 loss to the Warriors.
