Stephen Curry didn’t just dominate the three-point line—he redefined the way basketball is played at every level.
When Curry entered the league in 2009, NBA teams averaged just 18 three-point attempts per game. By 2023, that number more than doubled, thanks in large part to Curry’s influence. In December 2021, he passed Ray Allen to become the all-time leader in made three-pointers—a record he continues to extend by the game.
But here’s the stat that shocks: Curry is now hitting more threes per season than entire teams used to just 15 years ago. He forced coaches to rethink spacing, forced defenses to stretch to half-court, and inspired a generation of players to practice deep-range shooting. Steph didn’t just break records—he broke the mold.
