The Golden State Warriors have been spoiled by the presence of superstar Stephen Curry for quite some time. The former Davidson Wildcat is the NBA's all-time leading 3-point shooter, and he's still setting records at age 35.
The Warriors were awarded a future All-Star Game recently, which has fans talking. Golden State also agreed to a three-year contract with a 2022 draft pick.
On Monday, a Curry stat was shared that is unmatched in NBA history. Curry has continued to show off his long-distance shooting wizardry. He had 32 points against the Pistons on the road as the fourth quarter wound down.

Curry continues to put up out-of-this-world numbers for Steve Kerr's team. He is averaging over 30 points per game on the young season with over five rebounds and more than four assists per game, all while shooting nearly 55 percent from the field, an unbelievable mark for a backcourt player.
He's doing it during a time where players have come into the NBA with longer wingspans than ever before, making long-range shooting all the more difficult at times, as Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has shown recently. Curry is knocking down 48.8 percent of his 3-pointers per game while attempting nearly 12 of them per contest.
The 6-foot-3 guard passed Ray Allen on the NBA's all-time 3-pointers made list last season and has since put nearly 500 3-pointers of distance between himself and the former Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat star guard.
For the Warriors to remain competitive enough to warrant NBA title consideration, Coach Steve Kerr's team needs to ride the hot hand of Curry as long as possible. As Kerr and the Warriors have come to learn over the past decade-plus, there are few opponents that can keep with the Warriors when Curry is shooting like this.
