Entering the 2024-25 season with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry will pursue a milestone that no player has ever reached in terms of 3-point shooting.
Stephen Curry once surpassed the legendary Ray Allen to become the player with the most successful 3-point shots in NBA history. Not long after, the Golden State Warriors star became the first name to reach the milestone of 3,000 3-point shots in the American Professional Basketball League.
Stephen Curry has had 3,747 3-point shots in 956 Regular Season games throughout his career
Stephen Curry currently has a total of 3,747 long-range shots (Regular Season only), far surpassing the group of pursuers including former player Ray Allen (2,973), James Harden (2,940), Damian Lillard (2,607) and the legendary Reggie Miller (2,560).
So what is the next milestone that the “chef” will conquer? ESPN has pointed out that it is 4,000 3-pointers in the Regular Season, a number that Curry can reach in the next season.
What is the next milestone for Stephen Curry to conquer?
Stephen Curry is currently 253 short of successful long-range shots to become the first player to reach the 4,000 3-point mark in the history of the American Professional Basketball League.
If he continues to maintain an average of 4.8 successful 3-pointers per game from last season, it may take Curry about 53 games to surpass the 4,000 mark. In addition to the factor of no serious injuries or unforeseen problems, ESPN predicts that Curry can conquer the historic milestone in mid-February.
This is the time when there is a very notable match for the Golden State Warriors: the away match at the Dallas Mavericks. There, Stephen Curry will reunite with his long-time teammate who has now become a rival is Klay Thompson.

In the 2023-24 season, Stephen Curry took 51 games to surpass the 253 3-point mark, achieved right after the All-Star break.
So if nothing unexpected happens, it is likely that the “chef” will continue to achieve the above number, and at the same time reach the historical milestone of 4,000 3-point shots by February 2024. translate this article into English
