The best shooter of all-time, Stephen Curry has made another NBA milestone. The Warriors superstar becomes the only player in NBA history to make 4000 three-pointers, a record which might go untouched for generations like the Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game.

The stat sounds delusional but that is the greatness of Chef Curry. For more context, James Harden has made the second most threes in NBA history, but still trails Curry by over 850 threes. The gap is so large that Harden is closer to the player ranked ninth than he is to catching Curry.
