Stephen Curry has set the US National Basketball Association (NBA) record for three-pointers made in a regular season, with 402. He established this record in 2016.

Stephen "Steph" Curry (b. March 1988 in Akron, Ohio) is an American professional basketball player. He is a member of the Golden State Warriors and plays the point guard position. Many sport analysts and NBA players call him the greatest shooter in NBA history. He is credited with revolutionizing the game of basketball by inspiring teams to regularly utilize the three-point shot. As a seven-time NBA All-Star, Curry has been named the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) twice and has won three NBA championships with the Warriors.

Curry says that he grew up immersed in basketball. His father, Dell Curry, was a 16 year NBA veteran sharpshooter. He learned the intricacies of the game from his father. As a young basketball player, he attended Davidson (North Carolina) College. He made his mark averaging 21.5 points per game as a freshman to lead all first year players in the country. During his sophomore year, he became a national sensation; he led the 10th-seeded Davidson to the Elite Eight of the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s top-division basketball championship tournament. He used his signature three-pointer shot incessantly.

His junior year got him named a consensus first-team All-American. He later entered the 2009 NBA draft; he was then selected by the Warriors with the 7th overall pick.
