Stephen Curry becomes first player in NBA history to make 4,000 3-pointers
SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry’s shooting range and accuracy from way back have long stood alone — whether with a defender or two in his face or when letting it fly from the logo. Now, the NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers has reached new territory from beyond the arc: Golden State’s star guard is the first player in league history to reach 4,000 3s. “I would love to have quizzed our team on the the bench and see if anybody knew who that was because that was such a long time ago.. Really cool to kind of think back how far I’ve come from the first one to 4,000, which is crazy.” The two-time NBA MVP needed two more from deep coming into Thursday night’s game against the rival Sacramento Kings at Chase Center. “It was with Reggie Miller and it was like, ‘Whoa, that’s out of control,’” Christie said before the game, then praised Curry. “I don’t think he wants to coach that long, so don’t put that pressure on him,” Curry said, “I like a challenge.” ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA
