Steph Curry's latest milestone underscores his true greatness

What’s most impressive isn’t just the volume, but the consistency. At 37 years old, Curry continues to shoot at an elite level while shouldering much of the offensive load for a Warriors team still vying for playoff positioning. 

With the recent acquisition of Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, Golden State has been rejuvenated and are now primed for a deep playoff run. Since the All-Star break, the Warriors have posted a 19-6 record, tying for the third-most wins in the NBA, behind only the Oklahoma City Thunder (22) and Boston Celtics (20).

Curry’s shot profile remains among the most difficult in the league. Deep pull-ups, off-the-dribble daggers and contested threes, yet he converts with the same confidence and flair that has defined his career.

This season also saw Curry become the first player in NBA history to surpass 4,000 career three-pointers made — another milestone in a record book he continues to rewrite. While long-range shooting has become more prevalent in the modern game, Curry remains unparalleled in terms of range, volume and efficiency.

More than just a stat-sheet stuffer, Curry has fundamentally changed the way basketball is played. Teams now build defensive schemes specifically to track him across the floor. Young players model their games after him. The league’s offensive philosophy has shifted toward pace and space, largely due to his influence.

As the regular season draws to a close, Curry’s latest milestone serves as another reminder of his sustained greatness. In an era of analytics and shooting evolution, he remains the gold standard and continues to set the bar higher.
