Today is Steph Curry’s birthday, but his gift came Thursday night, as he became the only player ever in NBA history to hit 4,000 three-point shots, just piling up more numbers for the man who already holds the record for the most three-pointers ever.

Golden State Warriors point guard Wardell Stephen Curry is celebrating his 37th birthday today. Google his name today, and something fun happens on your screen. That fun thing happens because Steph Curry hit his 4,000th career three-point shot in last night’s 130-104 win over Sacramento at the Chase Center Thursday night, adding yet another distinction for the man who already holds the records for most three-pointers ever made, most playoff three-pointers, most three-pointers in a season, and of course, has won four NBA Championships and two league MVP awards.


The play on which the Chef scored his 4,000th three-pointer is seen above. (And how ‘bout that call by TNT announcer Kevin Harlan?) As the Chronicle points out, Curry scored the shot on a pass from Moses Moody, “who was 7 years old when Curry made his first NBA 3-pointer.”

Curry has already held the record for the most-ever three-pointers. He broke that record more than three years ago, and just continues to pile it on. And as seen below, he’s been doing this since he was a little kid.


"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," he added.


The Chase Center played the tribute video seen above after Curry hit his historic three-point shot Thursday. It features the man who gave Curry the assist on his first-ever three-pointer in 2009… (sigh) Andris Biedrins. That name provides an important reminder of how the Warriors sucked for about 40 years in a row before Curry came along, and what a privilege it is that we get to watch this electrifying player make history on our team.

And with the Warriors surging since the Jimmy Butler trade, there may yet be more historic playoff magic in store from Steph Curry and your Golden State Warriors.
