Records
Stephen Curry's career is defined by historic firsts and records that have reshaped basketball. He is the only player to win the NBA MVP award unanimously, a feat he accomplished in 2016 after leading the Warriors to a record 73 regular-season wins. He holds the NBA record for most three-pointers in a regular season (402) and the longest streak of consecutive games with a three-pointer (268). In 2022, he finally added a Finals MVP to his resume, silencing critics who questioned his ability to perform on the biggest stage. Curry's impact extends beyond statistics: he fundamentally changed how the game is played, inspiring a generation of players to prioritize three-point shooting. His four championships and two MVP awards place him among the all-time greats, and his influence on the sport is widely compared to that of pioneers like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.
