Only four minutes left in the half. And Stephen Curry let another one fly—a 30-footer. Everyone in the arena could feel it coming. And when it finally did, the Chase Center went wild. The Chef has done it! 4,000 threes. Steph has made history as the first person to do so. Let’s rewind to 2009, a young Stephen Curry drained his first career three-pointer off an assist from Andris Biedriņš. The memory seems fresh for all as everyone watched the most recent three hits the ring.

“Steph Curry hits his 4,000th 3-pointer off a pump fake and side step with 8:19 to go in the third quarter. The Chase Center crowd erupted and has come to life,” ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk shared on X.

The Warriors made sure their franchise star got his spotlight for sure. They played a special tribute video celebrating Curry’s historic milestone. “The Warriors just played a special video for Steph Curry’s 4,000th career 3 that began with Andris Biedriņš, who assisted Curry on his first 3 with the Warriors in 2009,” NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson revealed. But the highlight for Curry? A heartfelt message from Biedriņš himself, the man who was there at the very start of his legendary journey.

That surprise hit Curry in ways he didn’t expect. “I actually had—I’d call it an emotional moment on the bench when I saw him. They didn’t tell me that they found him and got a video message from him,” Curry admitted. “That was my vet when I was here my rookie year. I would love to have quizzed our team on the bench and see if anybody knew who that was because that was such a long time ago… Really cool to kind of think back how far I’ve come from the first one to 4,000, which is crazy.”

Stephen Curry entered the game, needing just two more from the deep to reach the magic number. He got the first one early, pulling up from the left wing with 5:35 remaining in the opening quarter. But the road to 4,000 wasn’t without suspense.

Guarded tightly by Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan, Curry missed a deep attempt from the top of the arc. However, only four minutes left on the clock, Curry finally got his 4000th 3-pointer. And with that, everyone witnessed history.

Stephen Curry left everyone in awe

Stephen Curry has done something imaginable. But what do you get for the guy who has everything? “Maybe I’ll give him a day off,” the Warriors coach Stete Kerr joked with a smile. And the team?

They had something more planned. Every player walked into the locker room to find a special black T-shirt hanging inside, commemorating Curry’s historic feat. It was a small but fitting tribute for the greatest shooter the game has ever seen.

Meanwhile, Kerr, who has seen Curry drain countless threes over the years, still couldn’t wrap his head around the number. “I’m desensitized to the 3s because they just come flooding through game after game, 4,000 is just an insane number,” he admitted. The closest active players? Clippers guard James Harden with 3,127 and Bucks star Damian Lillard with 2,794—both trailing by a mile.

But what’s next for Curry? Kerr threw out a wild prediction: “8,000.” Curry, never one to back down from a challenge, didn’t rule it out. “I don’t think he wants to coach that long, so don’t put that pressure on him,” he said with a grin. Safe to say, this record-breaking journey is far from over.
