Dell Curry, the proud father of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, watched with immense pride as his son achieved a historic milestone in his basketball career. Stephen Curry is now the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers, a remarkable feat that reflects his extraordinary talent.
The record-breaking moment occurred at Madison Square Garden during a game between the Golden State Warriors, Stephen’s team, and the New York Knicks. With seven minutes and 33 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Stephen Curry made history by surpassing the previous record.
In a heartwarming scene, the Warriors momentarily halted the game to celebrate this remarkable achievement. Stephen Curry, visibly elated, approached his father and embraced him. He then presented his father with the basketball that he had just used to make the record-breaking shot. Dell Curry, a former NBA star himself at 57 years old, wore a warm smile and affectionately congratulated his son.
This pivotal moment in Stephen Curry’s career underscores his status as one of the most exceptional shooters in NBA history. The basketball prodigy has now made an astonishing 2,974 3-pointers throughout his career, surpassing the record previously held by Hall of Famer Ray Allen, who set the mark in 2011 while playing for the Boston Celtics.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Curry’s achievement is that it occurred at Madison Square Garden, a venue that holds special significance for him. In February 2013, Curry delivered a breathtaking performance at the same arena, amassing a staggering 54 points, including 11 3-point field goals.
Stephen Curry’s outstanding accomplishment received accolades from athletes across various sports and the entire NBA community, including Los Angeles Lakers’ standout player LeBron James. NBA icon and broadcaster Shaquille O’Neal, commenting on “NBA on TNT,” expressed that “Steph has most certainly altered the game.”
As Stephen Curry continues to make history and reach new milestones in his illustrious career, he acknowledges the profound influence of his father, Dell Curry, whose support and guidance have played a significant role in his journey to becoming an NBA legend.
