Warriors’ Stephen Curry Drops Announcement Amid Trade Buzz

Stephen Curry is putting one of the signature feats of his career on IMAX screens this fall, even as an offseason of Golden State Warriors trade speculation swirls around him.

On Instagram, Curry announced that “Portrait of an Artist: Stephen Curry” will open exclusively in IMAX theaters in October. “We are pumped to show you all something the team has been working on,” he wrote, calling it “a new documentary that captures the journey to my 4,000th career three-pointer.”

Directed by Gotham Chopra and produced with Religion of Sports, IMAX, NBA Entertainment and Curry’s Unanimous Media, the film is less a recap of a single night than a study of the craft that made that night possible.

Curry became the first player in NBA history to reach 4,000 made threes on March 13, 2025, knocking one down from the right wing in a 130-104 win over Sacramento.

The shot came a day before his 37th birthday and more than 15 years after his first NBA three in October 2009. He had already passed Ray Allen’s previous record of 2,973 in December 2021; from there it took another 1,026 makes over 221 games to get to 4,000. He has led the league in threes in eight seasons, including a still-staggering 402 in 2015-16.

The trailer leans into how that volume was built. “There’s clearly this thing called talent. It’s the magic dust,” Curry says. “I think a lot of what we call talent is the desire to persist.” Then: “You have to come to the point where going over it again and again is a dance.”

He later called the milestone “an incredible” achievement and said he was grateful the film could document “the work, joy, and purpose behind it.”

Chopra and Curry have worked together before on “Stephen vs The Game.” This time the 4,000th three gives the story a natural last frame.

The announcement arrived while trade talk around Curry has been louder than usual. He is entering the final year of his contract, and the Warriors keep trying to squeeze more from the last stretch of his championship window.

There is no confirmed reporting that he has asked out or that Golden State is shopping him. General manager Mike Dunleavy said in August that Curry wants to finish his career as a Warrior, and Reuters found no sign he wanted to leave.

Owner Joe Lacob dismissed the idea that the franchise was looking to move him or that he wanted out. NBC Sports reported that a departure was never seriously entertained around the league.

Unless that stance changes, the four-time champion remains with the only NBA team he has ever known. “Portrait of an Artist” is not trying to settle whether he is the greatest volume shooter in history.

The records already did that. It is trying to show how he kept repeating the same hard thing until it looked like ease.
