Stephen Curry unlocked a unique milestone during Game 1 of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
The Golden State Warriors superstar is now the first player in NBA history to make 600 playoff three-pointers, leaving his teammate Klay Thompson in the second position and LeBron James in the 3rd.
Curry went 6-of-13 from beyond the arc and ended his evening with 27 points as the Warriors ultimately went down 117-112 to LA at the Chase Center.

Here is the list of the top 10 NBA players who make the most three-pointers in playoffs history:
1. Stephen Curry: 600
2. Klay Thompson: 477
3. LeBron James: 440
4. James Harden: 390
5. Ray Allen: 385
6. Kevin Durant: 358
7. Manu Ginobili: 324
8. Reggie Miller: 320
9. Danny Green: 315
10. J.R. Smith: 294
Needless to say, Curry will not be resting on this laurel as he knows that there is a job to be done.
As he chases his fifth championship, he will most probably go over 650 three-pointers if the Warriors make it to the NBA Finals. Currently, Curry is numero uno on our list of greatest NBA Three-Point Shooters.
Paul George Pushes Stephen Curry In The GOAT Conversation
In what comes as a piece of unsurprising news, Stephen Curry was pushed into the GOAT conversation by LA Clippers star Paul George.
In the recent episode of Podcast P, “He’s got sh*t on his resume that he can add to that GOAT conversation,” George remarked. “He’ll go down as the best shooter in league history. Nobody is catching his three-pointers made. You’re a GOAT to me if the league changes because of you. With Steph, the threes being shot, the range people shooting threes, Steph transcended the game.”
George was spot on when he said Curry revolutionized the league. The 2x MVP, 4x champion, and 9x All-Star, is undoubtedly one of the top 10 players in league history, and it remains to be seen if he can land a fifth title by the end of the season.
