SAN FRANCISCO (Diya TV) — Stephen Curry continues to redefine what’s possible in the NBA. On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors superstar became the first player in league history to reach 4,000 career three-pointers, hitting the milestone in a 130-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center.

The moment came at the 8:19 mark of the third quarter when Curry, after a chaotic possession, sidestepped a defender and drained a 28-footer from the right wing. The Chase Center erupted in celebration as Curry extended his own record, which he initially claimed when he surpassed Ray Allen’s 2,973 made threes on Dec. 14, 2021, at Madison Square Garden.

“It’s a clear milestone threshold,” Curry told ESPN before the game. “A number that I didn’t think about, that it was realistic even from 2,974, which is a number that means the most because that was the record at the time. It’s beyond my wildest dreams to push a record that far.”

Curry entered the game needing just two three-pointers to hit 4,000. His first came in the opening quarter off a pass from Jonathan Kuminga. The second, which secured the milestone, was fittingly chaotic—a scramble for a loose ball before Moses Moody found Curry open beyond the arc.

“It was a weird night because we all knew I was two away,” Curry said after the win. “Sacramento was playing that gimmicky defense all game where they were literally face-guarding me, top-locking, and nothing was clean about it.”

The Warriors were so eager to help Curry reach the mark that they forced plays, leading to turnovers. Draymond Green admitted the team was pressing. “A lot of anxiety. That was a terrible pass I had in the second quarter,” Green said. “We all kind of wanted that for him. But to see him cross that milestone that no one has ever crossed—it’s very fitting the way he changed the game.”

Curry, who turns 37 on Friday, is still playing at an elite level. This season, he’s averaging 32 minutes per game and remains one of the league’s most feared offensive players. With his contract running through the 2026-27 season, he’ll be 39 when it expires, but he isn’t ruling out extending his career beyond that point.

“I don’t know,” Curry said Wednesday in an interview with 95.7 The Game. “I’ve tried to answer that question before, and I’ve said a lot of different things just based on how I feel that day. But I think it’s all measured on, ‘Can I get to that level that I expect from myself?’ It’s not really attached to points per game or a stats thing. It’s just a feeling—like, ‘Can I dominate a game? Can I play my style for 30-plus minutes?’ And then you kind of reevaluate every year.”

While Curry has previously entertained the idea of playing until 40, he remains open to adapting his role if it means helping the Warriors win. “Maybe,” he said when asked about a potential bench role in the future. “I think everything’s on the table. If it means I can win, I’d approach it any way. Nobody wants to just be around, just existing.”

As Curry adds to his legacy, the Warriors are finding their rhythm. Thursday’s win marked their sixth straight, improving to 13-1 with Jimmy Butler in the lineup. Kuminga returned from an ankle injury, contributing 18 points in 20 minutes, and the team looks primed for a deep playoff run.

Curry’s historic night puts his future milestones into perspective. With an average of five three-pointers per game, he is well on pace to reach 5,000 threes if he remains healthy. Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked about just how far Curry could take the record.

“So he just keeps going the way he keeps himself in shape and conditioned, in rhythm,” Kerr said. “He’s going to make another 1,000 for sure.”

For now, Curry remains focused on the present, continuing to do what he does best—changing the game, one three-pointer at a time.
