Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has been his usual dominant self from three-point range to start the ‘23-‘24 NBA season, and he made some impressive history during Golden State’s clash against the Pistons on Monday.
After draining four three-pointers in the first quarter, Curry became the first player in NBA history to record four or more threes in each of the first eight games of a season, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
In his first seven games this year, Curry has already made 40 three-pointers on 82 attempts, good for a stunning 48.8% clip. He’s averaging 5.7 made threes per game, and he started hot on Monday, hitting four of his first five attempts.
At 35, Curry’s uncanny ability to knock down threes has not faded in the slightest, and he’s been successful from long-range at a historic rate out of the gate this year.

He’s yet to make fewer than four threes in a game this year and has an unwavering green light to fire at will so long as he’s on the opposing half of the court. Curry has attempted at least 10 threes in every game this year, averaging 11.7 attempts per night.
Curry currently owns the record for the most threes made in a single season, having netted 402 in ‘15-‘16. He made 5.1 threes per game that season, a figure he’s outpacing to start this season.
