Warriors star Steph Curry breaks his own mark as the fastest player in NBA history to make 300 three-pointers in a season, achieving the feat in just 58 games

NBA records are not safe from Steph Curry, even his own.

Curry broke his own mark as the fastest player in NBA history to make 300 three-pointers in a season after firing 8 treys in the Golden State Warriors’ 103-108 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

He achieved the feat in just 58 games, surpassing his previous record of 59 games set in the 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 seasons.

In doing so, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player notched 300 triples for the fourth time in his career, all accomplished in the last 6 seasons.

Only Curry has multiple 300 three-pointer seasons as he owns 4 of the top 5 single-season three-point marks in NBA history, including the only 400 three-pointer season.

Aside from Curry, Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is the only other player to score at least 300 triples in a season.

Curry also joined NBA all-time three-point leader Ray Allen (2,973) as the only players in NBA history to bury 2,800 triples.

With his 8 long bombs against the Pelicans, Curry has tallied 2,802 treys throughout his storied NBA career.

Averaging season-bests of 31.5 points and 5.3 triples, Curry has put the Warriors in contention for a spot in the play-in tournament.

The Warriors, who have won 9 of their last 14 games, hold a 33-33 record for 8th place in the Western Conference. – Rappler.com
