Stephen Curry, point guard for the Golden State Warriors, dances with the basketball on the court and can shoot with unlimited range. His abilities make things a bit easier for his teammates on the court.

Curry has been a marksman from three-point range ever since he entered the NBA. It does not matter if he is shooting it off the dribble or off a screen, he is still going to be lethal. He has been at the top of three-point shooting almost every season.

On Dec. 14, 2021, Curry became the greatest all-time three-point shooter in NBA history. He made his 2,974th career three in a 105-96 win versus the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, passing Ray Allen.
