Basketball: the video of the 4,000th three -point shot successful by Stephen Curry in the NBA

You are never as well served as by yourself. On the eve of celebrating his 37th anniversary – this Friday, March 14 -, Stephen Curry offered himself on his own and with a little ahead of a nice birthday present. The playing master of the Golden State Warriors registered his 4,000th three -point basket last night in the NBA, the American basketball championship.

A record obtained in the victory (130-104) against Sacramento, during the 1013rd match of his career (that is nearly 4 awarded shots per game on average).

Curry, already the best in history in this area, had attacked the meeting with 3,998 baskets marked from afar. The 4,000 intervened while there were 8 minutes and 17 seconds to play in the 3rd quarter.

Curry, who had been the executioner of the Blues in the final of the Paris Games last summer thanks to his long distance shots, is ahead – widely – on this classification the leader of the Los Angeles Clippers James Harden (3,127 successful 3 -point shots) and the former Milwaukee, Seattle, Boston and Miami Ray Allen (2,973).

The three-point basket had been introduced in 1979 by the NBA, and the use of award-winning shooting has been widely accelerated over the past ten years, Curry and its diabolical address itself contributed to revolutionizing the game.
