The Golden State Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry made NBA history against the Pacers, hitting 200 threes for the seventh consecutive season.
With over 30 games left and already missing 10+ games, Stephen Curry has already surpassed 200 threes in the 2018-2019 season. The Golden State Warriors wonderboy became the first player to ever hit 200 threes in seven consecutive seasons.
6-for-8 from three against the Indiana Pacers put Curry over the hump. Now with 203 triples on the season, Curry, since he’s erupted as a star, has been unstoppable from behind the arc. When he’s shooting like this, the Warriors as a team are nearly impossible to beat.
Curry most likely won’t break his record for three-pointers made in a season, but that’s mainly due to the eleven missed games. This season, he’s recording a career-high 5.2 threes per game, a total unmatched throughout the NBA.
Along with his three-point superiority, Curry is almost averaging a career-high in points per game. He’s 0.8 per game shy of breaking his points per game record, set during his unanimous MVP season back throughout the 2015-16 campaign.
Curry, who snuck into the top three in career threes per game earlier this season, has cemented himself as a top point guard in NBA history. He’s been setting and breaking his own records during his legendary career.
That said, the Warriors have now won eleven straight, and they’ll continue to be dominant if Curry can sustain his dynamic three-point shooting. Along with the return of DeMarcus Cousins, the Curry and Durant-led Warriors are now the NBA’s most-feared team yet again.
It’s Curry and his dominance that leads this team. With two games of 10+ threes, Curry has the ability to take over a game solely by shooting and making threes. That’s a trait no other team possesses.
With yet another 20-point blowout victory, the Warriors have been cruising ever since the return of DeMarcus Cousins. This team will continue to excel as the five stars click better game-by-game.
