Stephen Curry becomes first NBA player to record six seasons with 300 or more three-pointers

Stephen Curry has done something that no other NBA player has even approached — not James Harden, not Klay Thompson, and none of the legends. For six seasons straight, he’s made over 300 three-pointers each year. This isn’t just a shooting run; it’s a nearly decade-long reign of long-distance dominance. If you thought he peaked in 2016, it’s time to rethink that. This new record just adds to the mythos of Curry.
For years, Stephen Curry has been recognized as the top shooter in NBA history, and his recent record adds undeniable proof to that assertion. In the 2024–25 season, he reached the milestone of six seasons with 300 or more three-pointers, a jaw-dropping statistic that showcases his lead over the rest of the league. The nearest challengers? James Harden and Klay Thompson, both of whom have only one season with 300+ three-pointers.

In the 2015–16 season, Curry became the first player to surpass 300 three-pointers in a season, setting a remarkable record with 402 threes that remains unbroken. He kept the momentum going with over 300 threes in the following seasons: 2016–17, 2017–18, 2020–21, and 2022–23, before adding another in 2024–25. This marks nearly a decade of revolutionizing perimeter shooting, one deep shot after another.
While Curry has hit three-point marks that seem almost too good to be true, only two other players in NBA history have achieved this even once. In his standout 2018–19 season with the Houston Rockets, James Harden knocked down 378 threes. Klay Thompson, who has been Curry's partner in the backcourt for the Golden State Warriors, also made the cut in the 2022–23 season, hitting 301 shots from beyond the arc.
And that’s where the list ends. No Kevin Durant. No Damian Lillard. Not even Reggie Miller or Ray Allen ever touched 300 in a single season. It’s not just about being good—it’s about being historically great, and doing it again and again. That’s the Curry standard.
