Despite only finishing with 11 points and two 3-pointers, Curry’s third-quarter triple made history – and prompted the home crowd to ring out "MVP" chants.
Steph is the first player in NBA history with 4,000 3-pointers 🙌

In December 2021, Curry became the league’s all-time 3-point leader when he hit his 2,974th career triple to pass Ray Allen (2,973) in a win over the New York Knicks.
As it stands, Los Angeles Clippers star guard James Harden is the only player in NBA history to surpass 3,000 made 3-pointers. At 3,127 made 3-pointers, Harden, who is also a member of the 2009 NBA Draft class, is a ways away from Curry.
All facts considered, it only makes sense that James would congratulate Curry.
After all, he is the undisputed 3-point king – and, by the looks of it, that won’t change anytime soon.
