The 2021-22 season has been a victory lap for Curry’s long-range accomplishments. The three-time NBA champion and two-time Kia MVP passed Ray Allen for the all-time 3-point record in December, hit his 3,000th career 3-pointer eight days later, drilled an All-Star record 16 makes from deep in the 2022 All-Star Game, and eclipsed 20,000 career points with, yes, a 3-pointer.

Curry led the league in 3-pointers made (285) and attempted (750) for the seventh time in his career. He shot 40.9% and made 219 total shots between 25 and 29 feet away from the basket, by far the most in the NBA.

Unanimously regarded as the greatest shooter ever, Stephen Curry created history in Game Four of the western conference semi-finals. The two-time MVP is the first player to sink 500 threes in the NBA playoffs, blazing ahead of LeBron James and Klay Thompson.
Stephen Curry becomes the first player in NBA history to make 500 threes in the playoffs.
However, the Warriors also became the first team to start 0-15 from 3 in a playoff game since the 2011 Thunder (0-16 in Game 3 of the WCF against the Mavericks; h/t @EliasSports). pic.twitter.com/h9etI5R8NN

The superstar behind revolutionalizing the game, Curry continues to rewrite history books with his three-point shooting accolades. Earlier this season, the Warriors superstar surpassed Ray Allen, becoming the all-time leader in three-pointers made in the regular season.
Surprisingly, this has also been Curry’s most inefficient season from beyond the arc. For the first time in his 13-year career, the Warriors superstar shot below 40%, not factoring in the 2019-20 season, courtesy of his broken hand injury.
Curry was 38.0% from the 3-point line during the regular season, with his efficiency dipping further in the current playoffs at 37.2%.
