Wardell Stephen Curry II (/ˈstɛfən/ STEF-ən;^[1] born March 14, 1988) is an American professional basketball player and point guard for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "Chef Curry",^[2] he is widely regarded as the greatest^{[under discussion]} shooter of all time^[3]^[4] and is credited with revolutionizing the sport by inspiring teams and players at all levels to utilize the three-point shot more prominently.^[5] He is a four-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), an NBA Finals MVP, and a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP. He is also a two-time NBA scoring champion, an eleven-time NBA All-Star, and a ten-time All-NBA Team selection (including four on the First Team). Internationally, he has won two gold medals at the FIBA World Cup and a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics as part of the U.S. national team.

Curry played collegiately for the Davidson Wildcats, where he was named Conference Player of the Year twice. He set the NCAA single-season record for three-pointers made (162) as a sophomore and led the NCAA Division I in scoring during his junior year. Curry was selected by the Warriors as the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft.

In 2014–15, Curry won his first league MVP award and led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. The following season, he became the first player to be unanimously voted MVP and led the league in scoring while shooting above 50–40–90. That same year, the Warriors broke the record for most wins in a regular season (73) en route to the 2016 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7. Curry then helped the Warriors win back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018, and reach the 2019 NBA Finals, where they fell to the Toronto Raptors in six games. After struggling with injuries and missing the playoffs in 2020 and 2021, Curry won his fourth championship and first Finals MVP award in 2022, leading the Warriors past the Boston Celtics in six games. That same season, he became the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers made, surpassing Ray Allen.^[6]

Curry has the highest career free-throw percentage in NBA history (91.1%) and has led the league in three-pointers made a record eight times. In 2016, he broke his own record for three-pointers made in a regular season, with 402, and made at least one three-pointer in an NBA-record 268 consecutive games from 2018 to 2023.

Early life

[edit]

Curry was born on March 14, 1988,^[7] at the Akron General Medical Center in Akron, Ohio, to Sonya (née Adams) and Dell Curry.^[8]^[9] He grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where his father spent most of his NBA career with the Charlotte Hornets.^[10] He played with his younger brother Seth on their backyard basketball court in Charlotte.^[11] The family briefly moved to Toronto, where Dell finished out his career as a member of the Raptors.^[10] During this time, Curry played for the Queensway Christian College boys' basketball team, leading them to an undefeated season.^[12]^[13] He was also a member of Toronto 5–0, a club team that plays across Ontario,^[14]^[15] pitting him against fellow future NBA players Cory Joseph and Kelly Olynyk.^[15] Curry led the team to a 33–4 record, en route to winning the provincial championship.^[16]

After Dell's retirement, the family moved back to Charlotte and Curry enrolled at Charlotte Christian School, where he was named all-conference and all-state, and led his team to three conference titles and three state playoff appearances.^[17] Because of his father's storied career at Virginia Tech, Curry wanted to play college basketball for the Hokies, but was only offered a walk-on spot due in part to his slender 160-pound frame.^[18] He ultimately chose to attend Davidson College, who had aggressively recruited him from the tenth grade.^[19]

College career

[edit]

Freshman season

[edit]

Before Curry even played in his first game for the Wildcats, head coach Bob McKillop praised him at a Davidson alumni event, saying: "Wait 'til you see Steph Curry. He is something special."^[20] In his second collegiate game, he recorded a season-high 32 points and nine rebounds against Michigan.^[21] He had 30 points and a season-high 11 rebounds against Chattanooga on December 18, 2006, for his first career double-double.^[21] On February 6, 2007, also against Chattanooga, Curry broke the school's 500-point freshman record. He went on to finish with 730 points. He also broke Davidson's single-season record for three-pointers held by Brendan Winters (2004–05).^[21] He led the Southern Conference in scoring at 21.5 points per game, ranking him ninth nationally and second nationally among freshman behind only Kevin Durant of Texas.^[21]

The Wildcats finished with a 29–5 record and a Southern Conference regular-season title. On March 2, in the Southern Conference tournament semi-finals against Furman, Curry made his 113th three-point field goal of the year, breaking Keydren Clark's NCAA freshman season record for three-pointers.^[22] On March 15, he scored a game-high 30 points in a first-round NCAA tournament loss to Maryland.^[23]

At the end of his freshman season, Curry was named Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, SoCon Tournament MVP, and selected to the SoCon All-tournament team, All-freshman team, and All-SoCon First Team.^[24] He was also an honorable mention in Sports Illustrated's All-Mid-Major.^[21]

Sophomore season

[edit]

In his sophomore season in 2007–08, Curry helped the Wildcats to a 26–6 regular-season record, a 20–0 conference record, and a trip to the 2008 NCAA tournament.^[25]

On March 21, 2008, Davidson matched up with seventh-seeded Gonzaga. Gonzaga led by 11 points early in the second half but Curry went on to score 30 points in the half^[26] to push Davidson to their first NCAA tournament win since 1969 with a score of 82–76. Curry ended the game with 40 points while also going 8-of-10 from three-point range.^[27] On March 23, Davidson played second-seeded Georgetown in the second round, with Curry scoring just five points in the first half of the game as Davidson trailed by as many as 17 points. His 25 second-half points led Davidson to a 74–70 comeback victory.^[26] On March 28, Curry led Davidson to another win, against third-seeded Wisconsin. He scored 33 points as Davidson won 73–56 to advance to the Elite 8.^[28] Curry joined Clyde Lovellette, Jerry Chambers, and Glenn Robinson as the only college players to score over 30 points in their first four career NCAA tournament games.^[28] Curry also tied Darrin Fitzgerald of Butler for the single-season record for most three-pointers with 158.^[29]^[30] On March 30, he set the record, against the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks, with his 159th three-pointer of the season. Curry scored 25 points in the game but Davidson lost 59–57, and the Jayhawks went on to win the championship.^[31]

Curry finished the season averaging 25.9 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He was named to the Associated Press' All-America Second Team on March 31, 2008.^[32] He also was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament, becoming the first player from a team not making the Final Four to do so since Juwan Howard of Michigan in 1994.^[33] Curry was nominated for an ESPY in the Breakthrough Player of the Year category.^[34]

Junior season

[edit]

Following Davidson's loss in the NCAA Regional Finals, Curry announced that he would return for his junior year.^[29] On November 18, 2008, he scored a career-high 44 points in Davidson's 82–78 loss to Oklahoma.^[35] He extended a career-long streak by scoring at least 25 points for the seventh straight game.^[35] On November 21, Curry registered a career-high 13 assists to go along with 30 points in Davidson's 97–70 win over Winthrop.^[36] On November 25, against Loyola, Curry was held scoreless as Loyola constantly double-teamed him. It was Curry's only scoreless collegiate game and only his second without double-digit points. He finished 0-of-3 from the field as Davidson won the game 78–48.^[37] In Davidson's next game 11 days later, Curry matched his career high of 44 in a 72–67 win over North Carolina State.^[38]

Curry surpassed the 2000-point mark for his career on January 3, 2009, as he scored 21 points against Samford.^[39] On February 14, 2009, Curry rolled his ankle in the second half of a win over Furman. The injury caused Curry to miss the February 18 game against The Citadel, the first and only game he missed in his college career.^[40] On February 28, 2009, Curry became Davidson's all-time leading scorer with 34 points in a 99–56 win against Georgia Southern. That gave Curry 2,488 points for his career, surpassing previous school leader John Gerdy.^[41] Davidson won the 2008–09 Southern Conference regular season championship for the South Division, finishing 18–2 in the conference.^[42]^[43]

In the 2009 Southern Conference tournament, Davidson played Appalachian State in the quarterfinals and won 84–68. Curry scored 43 points, which is the third most points in Southern Conference tournament history.^[44] In the semifinals, against the College of Charleston, Curry had 20 points but Davidson lost 52–59. Despite lobbying from Davidson head coach Bob McKillop and Charleston coach Bobby Cremins,^[45] the Wildcats failed to get an NCAA tournament bid. Instead, they received the sixth seed in the 2009 NIT. Davidson played the third seed, South Carolina, on the road in the first round. Curry scored 32 points as the Wildcats beat the Gamecocks 70–63.^[46] Davidson then lost 80–68 to the Saint Mary's Gaels in the second round. Curry registered 26 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in what was his final game for the Wildcats.^[47]

In his final season at Davidson, Curry averaged 28.6 points, 5.6 assists, and 2.5 steals. He was the NCAA scoring champion and was named a consensus first team All-American.^[48] Curry opted out of his senior year at Davidson to enter the 2009 NBA draft, but expressed his intention to complete his degree.^[49]

In May 2022, Curry completed his coursework and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.^[50] In a ceremony held on August 31, 2022, Curry became the first Davidson graduate to have his jersey number retired and was inducted into the Davidson Athletics Hall of Fame.^[51]^[52]

In March 2025, Davidson announced that Curry would serve as assistant general manager for basketball programs, alongside alum Matt Berman in an advisory role.^[53] They will share insights with student-athletes and create the eight-figure "Curry-Berman Fund" to support both men's and women's basketball, with contributions from Curry, his wife Ayesha, Berman, his sister Erica, and father Don.^[54]

Professional career

[edit]

Golden State Warriors (2009–present)

[edit]

Early years (2009–2012)

[edit]

On June 25, 2009, his father's 45th birthday, Curry was selected as the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors.^[55] Although the Warriors already had another lean, 6-foot-3, offensive-minded guard in Monta Ellis, coach Don Nelson had a penchant for using small lineups in his Nellie Ball system, and had warmed to the idea of selecting Curry.^[56]^[57] However, Ellis announced at a media session that he and Curry were too small to play together.^[58] Curry appeared in 80 games (77 starts) during the 2009–10 season, averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.90 steals in 36.2 minutes.^[59] His second half of the season vaulted him into the rookie of the year race.^[60] He was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for January, March, and April, finishing as the only Western Conference rookie to win the award three times.^[59] He finished runner-up for the NBA Rookie of the Year behind Tyreke Evans^[60] and was a unanimous NBA All-Rookie First Team selection, becoming the first Warriors player since Jason Richardson in 2001–02 to earn All-Rookie First Team honors.^[59] He scored 30-plus points eight times, setting the most 30-point games by any rookie in 2009–10 and the most since LeBron James had 13 and Carmelo Anthony had 10 in 2003–04. Curry had five 30-point/10-assist games, which tied Michael Jordan for the second-most 30-point/10-assist games by a rookie (Oscar Robertson is first with 25). He became just the sixth rookie in NBA history to post a 35-point, 10-assist, 10-rebound game when he registered his first career triple-double with 36 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Los Angeles Clippers on February 10. In the Warriors' season finale against the Portland Trail Blazers on April 14, Curry recorded a then- career-high 42 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, becoming the first rookie since Robertson in February 1961 to register at least those numbers in each category in the same game. Curry finished his rookie season with 166 three-pointers, which were, at the time, the most ever by a rookie in NBA history.^[59]

In 2010–11, Curry appeared in 74 games (all starts), averaging 18.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.47 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest.^[59] His free throw percentage of .934 (212–227 FT) set a new Warriors single-season record, surpassing the previous mark of .924 set by Rick Barry in 1977–78. He also became the first Warriors player to lead the NBA in free throw percentage since Mark Price in 1996–97.^[59] Curry registered 20-or-more points 35 times, including seven 30-plus performances. He posted a season-high 39 points and a then- career-high 14 made field goals (on 20 attempts) against the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 5. In February 2011, during All-Star Weekend, Curry won the Skills Challenge^[61] and registered 13 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in 28 minutes as a member of the Sophomore squad in the Rookie Challenge.^[59] In May 2011, he was named the recipient of the NBA Sportsmanship Award,^[62] and underwent surgery on his right ankle.^[63]

In the lockout-shortened 2011–12 season, Curry appeared in 26 games (23 starts), averaging 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.50 steals in 28.2 minutes per contest. He missed 40 games due to right ankle and foot injuries,^[59] including the last 28 games with a sprained right ankle and subsequent surgery on the ankle, which was performed on April 25.^[64] In 2012, Golden State included Curry in a trade offer to the Milwaukee Bucks for Andrew Bogut, which the Bucks rejected due to Curry's history with bad ankles. Ellis was traded instead.^[65]^[66]^[67] According to then- Warriors general manager Larry Riley, they offered Curry with the intention of steering the deal to Ellis.^[66] The deal opened an opportunity for Curry to lead the team.^[58]

First All-Star and playoff appearances (2012–2014)

[edit]

Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, Curry signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension with the Warriors.^[68]^[69] At the time, many basketball writers considered the move risky for Golden State because of Curry's injury history.^[70] Over the course of the year, Curry and backcourt teammate Klay Thompson gained a reputation for their perimeter scoring, earning them the nickname the "Splash Brothers".^[71] In 2012–13, Curry appeared in 78 games (all starts), averaging then- career-high 22.9 points (seventh in NBA), 6.9 assists, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 38.2 minutes.^[59] He set a new NBA single-season three-point record with 272 three-pointers, eclipsing the previous mark set by Ray Allen (269 in 2005–06), doing so on 53 less attempts than Allen did with Seattle.^[59]

Curry earned Western Conference Player of the Month honors for the month of April. During this time he averaged 25.4 points, 8.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.13 steals in eight games in the final month of the season to become the third Warrior to win the award, joining Chris Mullin (November 1990 and January 1989) and Bernard King (January 1981). On February 25, Curry recorded a then- career-high 54 points and then- franchise-record 11 made three-pointers in a 109–105 loss to the New York Knicks, becoming the first player in NBA history to register at least 50 points and 10 three-pointers in a game.^[72] The game is cited as the "breakthrough" performance and one of the most notable games in Curry's career.^[73] On April 12, he scored 47 points in a 118–116 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.^[74]

In 2013, Curry appeared in the playoffs for the first time in his career, with the Warriors earning the sixth seed in the Western Conference. In 12 playoff games (all starts), he averaged 23.4 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds. He set a new franchise record with 42 playoff three-pointers, eclipsing the Warriors' career playoff mark of 29 previously held by Jason Richardson, giving him a total of 314 three-pointers for the season to become the first player in NBA history to make at least 300 three-pointers in a single season.^[59]

In 2013–14, Curry appeared in 78 games (all starts), averaging career highs of 24.0 points (seventh in the NBA) and 8.5 assists (fifth in the NBA) to go with 4.3 rebounds and 1.63 steals, becoming the first player in Warriors franchise history to average 24 points and eight assists in a single season (ninth player in NBA history). He led the league in three-pointers made for a second consecutive season with 261, becoming the first player since Ray Allen in 2001–02 and 2002–03 to lead the league in three-pointers in back-to-back seasons. He was named Western Conference Player of the Month for April and earned All-NBA Second Team honors, becoming the first Warriors player named to the First or Second Team since 1993–94.^[59] On December 7 against the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry eclipsed Jason Richardson (700) as the franchise's leader in career three-pointers.^[75] In February, he made his first All-Star appearance,^[76] becoming the Warriors' first All-Star starter since Latrell Sprewell in 1995.^[59] He scored a season-high 47 points on April 13 against the Portland Trail Blazers for his third 40-point game of the year. He finished the regular season tied for second in the NBA in triple-doubles with four, the most by a Warrior in a single season since Chamberlain had five in 1963–64.^[59] Seeded sixth for the second consecutive postseason, the Warriors were defeated in seven games by the Los Angeles Clippers.^[77]

NBA championship and MVP (2014–2015)

[edit]

Prior to the start of the 2014–15 season, the Warriors hired former NBA player and general manager Steve Kerr as their new head coach.^[79] Kerr implemented significant changes to Golden State's schemes, including playing at a faster pace and giving Curry more freedom to shoot, helping the team evolve into a title contender.^[80] On February 4, Curry scored a season-high 51 points in a win over the Dallas Mavericks.^[81] He was the leading vote-getter for the All-Star Game and won the Three-Point Contest on All-Star Saturday night.^[82]^[83] On April 9, he broke his own league record for three-pointers made in a season during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers.^[84] The Warriors finished the year with 67 wins and Curry was voted the NBA Most Valuable Player after posting averages of 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 2 steals per game.^[85] Over the course of the season, he sat out 17 fourth quarters due to Golden State's wide margins of victory.^[86]

In Game 5 of the Conference Semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry became the first player in league history to register six three-pointers and six steals in a game.^[87] In Game 6, he made a playoff career-high 8 three-pointers en route to a series-clinching victory.^[88] In Game 3 of the Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets, he broke the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single postseason.^[89]^[90] The Warriors went on to defeat the Rockets to earn a Finals matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where Curry struggled to start the series, converting on only 22 percent of his field goals in Game 2.^[91] In Game 5, he scored 37 points,^[92] and in Game 6, Golden State closed out the series to win their first championship in 40 years.^[93] For the Finals, Curry averaged 26 points and 6.3 assists per game.^[92] The Warriors' playoff run was the first in which an All-NBA first team selection eliminated all other first team selections en route to a championship.^[94]

Unanimous MVP and historic season (2015–2016)

[edit]

To start the 2015–16 season, Curry became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1989–90 to score 118 points in his team's first three games,^[95] including a season-high 53 points against the New Orleans Pelicans in the third game.^[96] The Warriors made NBA history on November 24 when they became the first team ever to start 16–0 with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers,^[97] before improving to 24–0 on December 11 with a double-overtime win over the Boston Celtics.^[98] Their streak was broken the following day against the Milwaukee Bucks.^[99] On December 28, Curry recorded his sixth career triple-double with 23 points, a career-high 14 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 122–103 win over the Sacramento Kings. During the game, Curry was guarded by his brother Seth for the first time in their NBA careers.^[100] On January 22, he recorded his second triple-double of the season with 39 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds in a 122–110 win over the Indiana Pacers. He made eight three-pointers in the game to reach 200 for the season, becoming the first player in NBA history to make 200 three-pointers in four straight seasons.^[101] On February 3, he made 11 three-pointers (including seven in the first quarter) and scored 51 points (including a career-high 36 points in the first half) to lead the Warriors past the Washington Wizards 134–121. His 51 points tied Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jordan for the Verizon Center record.^[102]

During the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend, Curry competed in his third straight All-Star game for the West, and competed in the Three-Point Contest, where he lost in the final round to teammate Klay Thompson. At 48–4, the Warriors entered the All-Star break with the best record through 52 games in NBA history, one win better than the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls and 1966–67 Philadelphia 76ers.^[103]

On February 25, Curry scored 51 points and made 10 three-pointers to lead the Warriors past the Orlando Magic 130–114, becoming the first player to record at least three 50-point games since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2008–09. He also became the first player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in a game with only one free throw attempted.^[94] Curry surpassed Kyle Korver's record of 127 consecutive games with a made three-pointer.^[104] In the following game, two days later, the Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime 121–118, owing to a long-distance game-winning shot made by Curry with 0.6 seconds remaining. In doing so, he tied the then- single-game record (12) with Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall and finished with 46 points.^[105] He also broke his own NBA record for made three-pointers in a season, setting a new mark at 288.^[106] In February 2016, Curry averaged over 35 points per game, while shooting at least 50% from both the field and three-point range, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve this feat in a calendar month.^[107] On March 7, in a win over the Magic, Curry scored 41 points and became the first player in NBA history to make 300 regular-season three-pointers.^[108] On April 1, Curry missed a three-pointer to tie the game against the Celtics with 5.3 seconds left, as the Warriors suffered their first home defeat since January 27, 2015, snapping an NBA-record 54-game winning streak in the regular season at Oracle Arena.^[109] On April 7, Curry scored 27 points to help the Warriors become the second team in NBA history to win 70 games in a season with a 112–101 win over the San Antonio Spurs.^[110] Three days later in a rematch against the Spurs, Curry scored 37 points in a 92–86 win, not only tying the 1996 Bulls, but snapping San Antonio's undefeated home streak and also ending a long losing streak in AT&T Center.^[111]

In the Warriors' regular-season finale on April 13 against the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry scored 46 points with 10 made three-pointers, finishing with a record 402 three-pointers on the season.^[112] With a 125–104 win over the Grizzlies, the Warriors became the first 73-win team in NBA history, surpassing the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls' 72–10 record to finish the 2015–16 season with just nine losses.^[113] With the conclusion of the regular season, Curry became the seventh player in NBA history to join the 50–40–90 club and the first to achieve this feat while averaging over 30 points per game.^[114]^[115] Curry led the league in scoring (30.1 points per game), steals (2.14), and free throw percentage (90.8), becoming the first player to lead all three statistics in a season.^[116] For his record-breaking season, Curry was named the league's first ever unanimous MVP, becoming the 11th player in history to win the award in consecutive seasons and the first guard to do so since Steve Nash in 2004–05 and 2005–06.^[117] His scoring average increase of 6.3 is the largest ever by a reigning MVP.^[114]

In the 2016 playoffs, the Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in the first round despite Curry only playing in the first half of Games 1 and 4 due to injury.^[118]^[119]^[120] A right MCL injury kept him out of the first three games of the second round.^[121] In Game 4 of the second-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers, Curry came off the bench to score 40 points in a 132–125 overtime win;^[122] 17 of those points came in the extra period, an NBA record for points scored by an individual in overtime.^[123] Curry led the Warriors to a 4–1 victory over the Trail Blazers, as they moved on to the Western Conference Finals to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. After going down 3–1, he helped the Warriors rally to win the series 4–3 and advance to their second straight NBA Finals.^[124]

In the Finals, Curry's play relative to his regular season performance remained inconsistent, as it had been since he returned from injury against Portland;^[125] still, he broke Danny Green's record of 27 three-pointers made in a Finals.^[126] Despite being up 3–1 in the series, the Warriors were defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games and became the first team in NBA Finals history to lose a series after leading 3–1. In the game seven loss, Curry scored 17 points on 6-of-19 shooting.^[127]

Back-to-back championships (2016–2018)

[edit]

He scored 24 points in the third quarter, marking his 41st career 20-point quarter — the most by any player since the NBA began tracking play-by-play data in 1997–98.^[273] Two days later, in his 1,000th regular season game, Curry tied his season-high of 38 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 125–111 road win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He joined LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Karl Malone as the only players in history to record four consecutive 30-point games at age 36 or older.^[274] On February 16, Curry won his second All-Star MVP award after scoring 20 points and six three-pointers combined in the two games of the exhibition's revamped mini-tournament format.^[275] He joined LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan as the only players in history to win at least two league MVP awards, two All-Star MVP awards, and a Finals MVP award in a career.^[276] On February 27, Curry put up 56 points on 16-of-25 shooting, including 12 made three-pointers, in a 121–115 road win over the Orlando Magic.^[277] He outscored the Magic 22–21 in the third quarter and notched his third 50-point game after turning 35 years old, the most in NBA history.^[278] He also tied Thompson's then-record for the most career games (3) with at least 12 made three-pointers.^[279]

On March 6, Curry recorded 40 points and seven made three-pointers, including a fadeaway buzzer-beater from the half court logo, in a 121–119 road win over the Brooklyn Nets.^[280] Two days later, he scored 32 points in a 115–110 win over the Detroit Pistons and eclipsed 25,000 career points, becoming the 26th player in NBA history to do so.^[281] On March 13, Curry eclipsed 4,000 career three-pointers in a 130–104 win over the Sacramento Kings, becoming the first player in NBA history to start the 4K club.^[282] On April 1, Curry put up 52 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, five steals, and 12 made three-pointers in a 134–125 road win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He became the first player in NBA history to register at least 50 points, 10 made three-pointers, and five steals in a single game and passed Jerry West on the all-time scoring list.^[283] On April 3, Curry recorded 37 points and six assists in a 123–116 road win over the Los Angeles Lakers.^[284] The next day, he scored 36 points, five assists, and seven made three-pointers in a 118–104 win over the Denver Nuggets, securing the Warriors' first victory over the Nuggets since March 2022.^[285] On April 13, Curry recorded 36 points, six assists, and seven made three-pointers in a 124–119 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the regular-season finale. He finished the season as the league leader in free throw percentage for the fifth time in his career, tying Reggie Miller for the third-most in NBA history.^[286] On April 29, Curry was named the Twyman–Stokes Teammate of the Year for his commitment to team excellence and leadership as a mentor to other NBA players.^[287]

In Game 3 of the Warriors' first round playoff series against the Houston Rockets, Curry recorded 36 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds in a 104–93 win and passed Tony Parker for 10th on the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list.^[288]

National team career

[edit]

Curry's first experience with the United States national team came at the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, where he helped Team USA capture the silver medal.^[289] He averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game.^[290]

In 2010, Curry was selected to the senior squad,^[290] playing limited minutes at the 2010 FIBA World Championship (later known as the FIBA Basketball World Cup) as the United States won the gold medal in an undefeated tournament.^[291] In 2012, Curry was excluded from the list of 20 finalists selected for consideration for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team in London, which reportedly left him "very disappointed" but motivated to improve his game for future opportunities.^[292]^[293] In 2014, he took on a larger role with the team, helping them to another undefeated tournament at the 2014 World Cup and scoring 10 points in the final game.^[294] On June 6, 2016, Curry withdrew from consideration for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, citing ankle and knee ailments as the major reason behind the decision.^[295]

Curry made his Olympic debut with the 2024 U.S. Olympic team in Paris, alongside his longtime head coach Steve Kerr.^[296] He initially struggled from the field. In a tightly contested semifinal game against Serbia, Curry led a 17-point comeback in a 95–91 win, finishing with a tournament-high 36 points, eight rebounds, and 9-of-14 shooting from three-point range.^[297] In the final two minutes, Curry made a successful steal, layup, and two clutch free throws to maintain a lead of four points.^[298] He set a national record for most points scored in an Olympic knockout game and an Olympic record for most three-pointers made in a knockout game, respectively.^[299]^[300] His 36 points are the second-most ever scored in a game by an American, behind Carmelo Anthony's 37-point performance against Nigeria in 2012. In a post-game interview, teammate Kevin Durant called Curry's performance "one of the greatest games I've ever seen him play".^[298] Curry followed up his performance with another successful outing in the final match against France, tallying 24 points, five assists, two steals, and 8-of-12 shooting from three-point range.^[301] He made four consecutive three-pointers in the final 3 minutes to help seal the game and secure the United States' fifth-straight Olympic gold medal and his career-first.^[302] Curry finished the tournament as the team's leading scorer, averaging 14.8 points per game, and set an Olympic record for most three-pointers made in a final.^[303] For his performances, Curry was named to the Olympics All-Star Five team and honored as the 2024 USA Basketball 5-on-5 Male Athlete of the Year.^[304] He joined LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan as the fourth player in NBA history to win at least four championships, two league MVP awards, a Finals MVP award, and an Olympic gold medal in a career.^[305]

Player profile

[edit]

Listed at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) and 185 pounds (86 kg), Curry plays almost exclusively at the point guard position combined with the signature play style of an elite shooting guard. He has career averages of 24.7 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game (through the end of the 2024–25 season),^[85] His career free throw percentage of 91.1% is the highest in NBA history, and he has led the league in annual free-throw percentage five times.^[306]^[307] He has been named league MVP twice, including the first unanimous selection in league history (2015–16).^[85]

Known for his three-point shooting, athleticism, and play-making, Curry is an offensive threat from underneath the rim to near half-court.^[308]^[309] Using an unorthodox jump shot, he is capable of releasing the ball in under half a second upon jumping, adding greater arc to his shots and making them difficult to block.^[310] Therefore, Curry is able to adjust his release and balance to make shots from virtually anywhere on the court. For his high shooting proficiency and ball-handling, he has been referred to as the "Baby-Faced Assassin" since a young age and "Chef Curry" while playing in the NBA.^[85]^[311] For their shooting abilities, Curry and former teammate Klay Thompson are often referred to as the Splash Brothers. In the 2013–14 season, they set the record for combined three-pointers made in a season with 484, a record they broke the following season (525), and again in the 2015–16 season (678).^[312] Curry is also known for putting pressure on defenses with his long range and led the league in field goals made from beyond 28 feet in the 2015–16 season.^[313] A clutch scorer, he often shoots at his best in high-pressure moments and takes game-winning shots.^[314]^[315] Curry has made 10 game-winning shots^[c] in his career, the most by any player since the 2012–13 season.^[317] He was named the 2023–24 NBA Clutch Player of the Year after leading the league in clutch points, made clutch field goals, and made clutch three-pointers.^[316]

His career three-point field goal percentage (3P%) of .423% ranks as the 13th highest in NBA history.^[318] In 2015–16, Curry posted the highest eFG% (.630) and 3P% (.454) ever recorded in a season while averaging over 30 points per game.^[319] He holds four of the top-five seasons with most three-pointers made, led by his NBA record 402 three-pointers from the 2015–16 season, and has served as the annual leader a record eight times.^[320]^[321] He is also the fastest player in league history to make 2,000 career three-pointers, doing so in 227 fewer games than the previous record-holder, Ray Allen.^[148] Additionally, Curry is the fastest player to make 100 three-pointers in a season, doing so in just 19 games, breaking his own previous record of 20 games.^[322]

Owing to his offensive presence, Curry's scoring creates a "gravity" effect that forces opposing defenders to frequently double-team him during both on-ball and off-ball movement, creating mismatches that his teammates exploit.^[323]^[324] With Curry, the Warriors average 10.8 isolations per game; without Curry, they average 15.3 isolations per game. His absence slows the Warriors offense and leads to less passing and ball movement. With Curry, the Warriors average 1.05 points every shot that comes after an off-ball screen; without Curry, it drops to 0.95 points per game. His absence makes it much easier for defenders to switch on screens. Of Curry's success with or without other elite teammates, NBC Sports' Tom Haberstroh said, "You can pluck All-Star after All-Star off the court like flower petals, and the Steph-led Warriors will still dominate like a champion. He's that transcendent of a player."^[325]

Curry's short stature relative to the rest of the league impeded his defensive abilities for the majority of his career.^[326] Some analysts, including Ethan Sherwood Strauss of ESPN, have complimented his defensive play or called it underrated.^[326]^[327] Strauss said in 2015 that Curry became "one of the NBA's most effective defenders – ranking fifth among point guards in defensive real plus-minus."^[327] Curry led the league in total steals in the 2014–15 season and steals per game in the following season.^[328]

Legacy

[edit]

Curry is often considered the greatest shooter^[329]^[330] and one of the greatest players in NBA history.^[5]^[331]^[332] He is credited with revolutionizing the game of basketball by inspiring teams, from high school to the NBA, to regularly use the three-point shot.^[5] Analysts have referred to him as "the Michael Jordan of the three-point era", saying that he did for the three-point shot what Jordan did for the slam dunk.^[333]^[334]^[335] The Guardian's Robert O'Connell cites Curry's February 27, 2013, game against the New York Knicks, in which he made 11-of-13 shots from behind the arc en route to a 54-point performance, as the start of the three-point era.^[336] The era has been referred to as "the Steph Effect"^[337] or "the NBA's Three-Point Revolution".^[338] Curry is also often compared to Magic Johnson in debates over the greatest point guard of all time, owing to their generational impact, winningness, and diverse skill-sets.^[339]^[340]^[341]

Regarded as the face of the Warriors dynasty,^[342]^[343] Curry helped redefine three-point scoring as a central element of modern-day basketball strategy rather than a mere novelty.^[332]^[344] His influence has inspired the league to transition from physical play around the basket to a "pace and space" approach that emphasizes three-point shooting.^[344] This transformation can be attributed, in part, to teams attempting to counter the Warriors' dominance and young players aspiring to emulate Curry's range.^[337]^[336] Curry regularly attempts shots from 30 to 35 feet at an efficiency of .54, compared to the league average of under .22 from this range and .35 for made three-pointers overall.^[332] As Curry himself noted, "I'm sure coaches tell their high school players that shooting the way I do takes work and time;" Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post stated that "coaches have to explain that while Curry's skill set is something to aspire to, his game is built on fundamentals."^[337] His ability to make these shots is complemented by a high degree of ball-handling skills, release, and capacity to shoot effectively with one or more defenders contesting his attempts.^[332] Sally Jenkins, also of The Washington Post, highlighted the degree of difficulty of Curry's shooting, citing a period in which he achieved a .67 success rate on shots taken from 28 to 50 feet.^[309] Jeff Austin of Octagon noted that Curry "had to develop tremendous strength in his wrists to shoot and maintain that form from 40 and 50 feet."^[309] Goldsberry concludes that "no player in the history of the NBA has combined range, volume, and efficiency from downtown as well as Curry," making him "the most efficient volume scorer on the planet."^[332] The developers of the NBA 2K video game series have even expressed concerns about accurately replicating Curry's unique abilities.^[344]

Where Curry ranks as one of the greatest NBA players has been more subject to debate.^[345] Scottie Pippen, a six-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls, said that Curry's "willingness to sacrifice" for Durant is "one of the great stories in history." Crediting Curry as "one of the greatest guards the game has ever seen", he said: "If you have a mind for the game, you know that it takes sacrifice to be great. All the greats have to sacrifice something. Otherwise you can't win."^[345] In a 2019 feature, Sports Illustrated stated that "Curry and the Warriors are a great match of player and system" and that "the entire ecosystem is predicated on the idea that a player doesn't need to dominate the ball to dominate a game. Curry took that noble idea and elevated it beyond any reasonable expectation."^[346] In October 2021, Curry was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time as a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.^[347] After winning his fourth NBA championship and first Finals MVP award in 2022, Complex ranked Curry as the 10th greatest player in NBA history the following year. Angel Diaz of Complex cited his generational impact with "nothing left (for Curry) to accomplish" as reasons for his place among the sport's greats.^[348]

Off the court

[edit]

Personal life

[edit]

On July 30, 2011, Curry married longtime girlfriend and Toronto-area native Ayesha Alexander in Charlotte.^[13]^[14]^[349] Curry and Alexander met at their church in Charlotte when they were 15 and 14 years old, respectively.^[350] Together, they have two daughters who were born in 2012 and 2015,^[351]^[352] and two sons who were born in 2018 and 2024, respectively.^[353]^[354]

In July 2019, Curry paid $31 million for a home in Atherton, California.^[355] Curry's younger brother, Seth, is also a professional basketball player,^[356] and his younger sister, Sydel, played volleyball at Elon University.^[357]

Curry is a Pentecostal Christian and has been outspoken about his faith.^[358]^[359] He spoke about his faith during his MVP speech by saying: "People should know who I represent and why I am who I am, and that's because of my Lord and Savior." He also said the reason that he pounds his chest and points up is that he has a "heart for God" and as a reminder that he plays for God.^[360] On some of his "Curry One" basketball shoes, there is a lace loop scripted "4:13". It is a reference to the Bible verse Philippians 4:13, which reads: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."^[361]^[362] Curry has a tattoo of First Corinthians 13:8 in Hebrew on his wrist ("Love never fails...").^[363] Curry is also an investor in Active Faith, a Christian sports apparel brand.^[364]^[365]

During the 1992 NBA All-Star Game weekend, Curry's father entrusted him to Biserka Petrović, mother of future Hall of Fame player Dražen Petrović, while Dell competed in the Three-Point Contest. Following the 2015 NBA Finals, Curry gave Biserka one of his Finals-worn jerseys, which will reportedly be added to the collection of the Dražen Petrović Memorial Center, a museum to the late player in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.^[366]

Curry is diagnosed with keratoconus and wears contact lenses to correct his vision.^[367] He is also an avid golfer; he started playing golf at the age of 10, played golf in high school, and frequently plays golf with former teammate Andre Iguodala.^[368]^[369] Curry participates in celebrity golf tournaments and has played golf alongside Barack Obama.^[370]^[371] In August 2017, Curry competed in the Ellie Mae Classic on an unrestricted sponsor exemption.^[372] Although he missed the first cut, he scored 4-over-74 for both days he participated, surpassing most expectations for an amateur competing in the pro event.^[373] In July 2023, Curry won the American Century Championship, an annual celebrity golf tournament held at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Stateline, Nevada. He shot a hole-in-one during the second round and won the tournament on the final hole with a walk-off eagle putt.^[374]

In August 2019, Curry and Howard University, a historically black institution in Washington, D.C., jointly announced that the school would add NCAA Division I teams in men's and women's golf starting in the 2020–21 school year, with Curry guaranteeing full funding of both teams for six years.^[375]

Public image

[edit]

"No NBA athlete has a larger contingent of fans at every arena, lining up 20- and 30-deep hoping for a glimpse, if not an autograph. This crazy popularity is why his jersey sales consistently rank No. 1, why he was voted to be the captain of the [2018] Western Conference All-Star team and why 9-year-old girls feel comfortable enough to write letters asking for his help – and actually get it."

—Monte Poole of NBC Sports on Curry's popularity^[376]

Curry is one of the most successful players in the NBA, and has also become an international celebrity, on par with four-time MVP LeBron James.^[377]^[378] Like James, he has been considered the face of the NBA, but has said that he is not motivated by that and is not looking "to take LeBron's throne or whatever. You know, I'm trying to chase rings, and that's all I'm about. So that's where the conversation stops for me."^[379] His flashy play and penchant for coming up big in the clutch have made him a fan favorite, and his smaller physique is said to have made his success seem more attainable for younger fans of the NBA.^[380]^[381] Memorabilia associated with Curry is highly sought after; his 2009 rookie card ranks among the most expensive sports cards of all-time and is the most expensive basketball card ever sold, purchased by Alt Fund II for a record $5.9 million in July 2021.^[382]^[383] Curry has led the NBA in jersey sales for five cumulative years; three consecutive times from the 2015–16 to 2017–18 seasons and two consecutive times from the 2022–23 to 2023–24 seasons, respectively.^[384]^[385]

ESPN has ranked Curry among the most famous international athletes. He is the highest paid NBA player of all-time by season and has been ranked in Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid celebrities for his endorsements six times.^[386]^[387] ESPN's Kirk Goldsberry reasoned that one reason for Curry's popularity is that while most people are not tall enough to dunk, everyone can attempt a shot, which is something Curry inspires.^[332] Owen Davis of Sky Sports echoed this sentiment, stating: "After all, not everyone is blessed with supreme height and athleticism, but everyone can learn to pass, dribble and shoot. Curry is proof that if you work hard enough, you can still find ways to dominate, no matter your size."^[344]

Monte Poole of NBC Sports found Curry to be "the most human of superstars", with a childlike aura to him when he plays with success. His fanbase ranges from very young children to the elderly, and casual or committed fans enjoy his style of play. Poole stated that "the joy factor exponentially increases" when Curry is on the court and that "the sight of this relatively ordinary specimen sending much bigger players into silent surrender is an intoxicant for the Warriors and their fans."^[376]

Business interests

[edit]

Curry is widely known for his partnership with Under Armour, serving as the "face of their footwear line" and the President of his signature shoe and apparel line called the "Curry Brand".^[388] Originally signed to Nike, Curry began a partnership with Under Armour in the 2013 off-season.^[389] After becoming the NBA MVP and one of the most popular athletes in the world, sales of Curry's shoe line became an influential factor for the brand, with stock prices pivoting based on its success.^[390]^[391]

In October 2018, Curry announced his involvement with the relaunch of Palm, a mobile companion device that pairs with a primary smartphone.^[392] Curry is an investor and the leading brand ambassador for Palm, a small startup based in San Francisco which licenses the Palm name from TCL Corporation. He is also involved with designing and testing accessories and even helped to name the device.^[393]

In 2021, Curry, among other high-profile athletes and celebrities, was a paid spokesperson for FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange. In November 2022, FTX filed for bankruptcy, erasing billions of dollars in customer funds, with Curry, alongside other spokespeople, being sued for promoting unregistered securities through a class-action lawsuit.^[394]^[395]^[396] In February 2022, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a lawsuit against Bitconnect that the Securities Act of 1933 extends to targeted solicitation using social media.^[397]

Since 2018, Curry has served as the chief executive officer of Thirty Ink, a San Francisco-based company that works to provide equitable opportunities to people through brand, media, experiences, and philanthropy, as the four major verticals. Since 2019, Curry has been the Global Brand Ambassador for Rakuten. The company partnered with Curry on a one-day shopping spree at the Warriors Shop in Chase Center for 20 Bay Area children. Curry posed as a team shop employee during the event and helped find sports gear around the store.^[398]

Philanthropy

[edit]

In 2012, Curry started donating three insecticide-treated mosquito nets for every three-pointer he made to the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign to combat malaria. He was first introduced to the malaria cause by Davidson teammate Bryant Barr when they were both in school. Curry visited the White House in 2015 and delivered a five-minute speech to dignitaries as part of President Barack Obama's launch of his President's Malaria Initiative.^[399]

In 2015, Curry wore sneakers that bore the name "Deah Shaddy Barakat"—a victim of the 2015 Chapel Hill shooting. According to his sister Suzanne, Deah was known for his "love for basketball and anything Steph Curry."^[400] Deah donned Curry's No. 30 as his jersey number for his intramural basketball team at North Carolina State University, and recreated Curry's pose from his GQ photo-shoot.^[400] Curry said that Deah's family "did a great job of reaching out to me and making me aware of the details of his life and personality ... It was really kind of a cool deal to be able to use the platform yesterday to honor Deah and his family ... I'm going to send them the shoes I wore yesterday. And hopefully, they know that I've been thinking about them."^[401]^[402] Following his MVP award win and historic 2015–16 season, Curry donated his prize vehicle—a 2016 Kia Sorento—to the East Oakland Youth Development Center, a local non-profit organization located in the backyard of Oracle Arena.^[403]

In December 2018, while on a podcast, Curry jokingly questioned whether the Apollo program's Moon landing actually took place, which received substantial media attention and criticism. NASA went on to offer Curry a tour of the Johnson Space Center and discuss further. He partnered with Under Armour in creating signature shoes inspired by the comment and subsequent discussion. After wearing them to a game, he signed and auctioned them off on eBay. The shoes sold for $58,100 after 113 bids, with the money being donated for STEM education initiatives.^[404]^[405]

In July 2019, Curry and his wife launched the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation in Oakland, California.^[406] By 2023, the Foundation had provided 25 million meals, renovated 12 play areas and invested $6 million in literacy programs.^[407]

Production company

[edit]

In April 2018, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced a wide-ranging, multiyear multimedia deal with Curry's newly formed production company Unanimous Media (named for Curry becoming the first NBA player in history to be elected the league's MVP by a unanimous vote), located on the Sony Pictures studio lot in Culver City. The film and TV deal included electronics, gaming and virtual reality and is focused on faith and family-friendly content.^[408] In October 2018, Curry signed on as executive producer of the film Breakthrough, scheduled for release in April 2019.^[409] Curry was also executive producer of the film Emanuel, scheduled for US theatrical release in select theaters on June 17, 2019.^[410] The film focused on the responses by family members of victims of the 2015 Charleston church shooting. Curry remarked, "In the face of adversity, in the face of tragedy, how can I get through it?"^[410] Beginning in 2019, Curry became both the executive producer and resident golf pro on the American sports reality competition television series Holey Moley.^[411] On June 24, 2020, Curry released a trailer for his new show on his YouTube channel called Ultimate Home Championships, a show featuring people such as DeAndre Jordan, Ronda Rousey, and Kristopher London, where contestants competed in wacky at-home challenges using things in their home. In 2020, Unanimous Media signed a deal with Amazon's Audible.^[412] The same year, Curry served as the executive producer of an animated revival of the 1970s sitcom Good Times along with the series' original executive producer, Norman Lear, and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. The series was green-lit by Netflix in 2020.^[413] In 2021, Curry signed on as executive producer of The Queen of Basketball, a documentary short film about basketball legend Lusia Harris. The same year, Unanimous Media signed a deal with NBCUniversal.^[414] In 2023, Unanimous Media and Ryan Coogler co-produced Stephen Curry: Underrated, a sports documentary film chronicling Curry's path to NBA stardom. Apple TV+ secured the streaming rights and a release date of July 21, 2023.^[415]

Political views

[edit]

Curry and his wife endorsed Joe Biden for President of the United States during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.^[416]

In December 2021, Curry voiced his support for the For the People Act, an election reform bill aimed at expanding voting rights.^[417]

In 2023, Curry opposed the development of multi-family housing in the wealthy enclave of Atherton, California, where he and his family live,^[418] citing safety and privacy for themselves and their children as the development would have been directly behind his home.^[419]

Curry endorsed Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee and an avid Warriors fan, for the 2024 United States presidential election.^[420]

^ As part of the Golden State Warriors.
^ He joined Elgin Baylor, LeBron James (twice), Michael Jordan (twice), Bernard King, and Jerry West.^[193]
^ Shots made in the last five seconds of the fourth quarter and/or overtime.^[316]
^ As part of the Golden State Warriors.
^ As executive producer of The Queen of Basketball.
^ Due to an injury-plagued season, Curry attempted (and made) 26 free throws, thus achieving a career-high 100% free-throw percentage in a season. However, it does not stand as a season-high statistic as a free-throw percentage leader must have at least 125 made free throws in a season.
