It’s safe to say that Stephen Curry didn’t have an easy way up in the NBA. Despite being the son of former Hornets star Dell Curry, he wasn’t a highly-touted prospect and not even his team ever thought he’d be that good. But he overcame all odds and now has added another fantastic milestone to his career by breaking Ray Allen’s NBA 3-point record.
Curry was overlooked by scouts and silenced his critics at Davidson, playing his way into the top 10 of the NBA Draft. However, he was once again snubbed there. Then, he made it to a Golden State Warriors team that tried to trade him multiple times.
Eventually, Steph grew up to be one of the most influential players of all time and the greatest shooter in the history of basketball, beating the odds every single time. Here, we’re going to look back on his career and talk about every single one of the records he owns.
