Stephen Curry shoots 105 straight three-pointers in post-practice – Warriors get last 103 on film: ‘He chokes on 106,’ coach Kerr jokes
- The Golden State Warriors star beats his previous record by around 40, pumping his arms in delight after his performance in Chicago
- Curry’s next three-pointer in a game – possibly against the Bulls – will take him to 2,500 in his career, equalling Ray Allen and Reggie Miller
Marvelling once again, Stephen Curry made 105 straight three-pointers from the same baseline spot to finish practice leading into Golden State’s game at Chicago on Monday morning (HK time).
The Warriors said they captured the final 103 on video at the Bulls’ practice facility. Curry’s shots were counted by his long-time shooting man, assistant Bruce Fraser, and coach Steve Kerr only heard about his shooting star afterward. Curry finally missed, then pumped his arms and yelled in delight.
“I think his previous record was 77. That’s insane,” Kerr said. “I don’t know if the Guinness Book of World Records still exists. That was one of my favourite books growing up. If it still exists that should go in the book, because we have video evidence now apparently.”
You bet, two-time MVP Curry can still dazzle day after day at age 32 and at the start of his 12th NBA season. With his next made three, Curry will have 2,500 for his career – joining only Ray Allen and Reggie Miller to reach that mark.
“It was SO amazing – 105 3s in a row. I knew it could be special around 30. Just amazing,” Fraser said by text, then added: “There wasn’t anything about the one he missed. I was actually more focused on just delivering good passes. I was nervous! Haha. Yes, lots of swishes.”
