Let’s look back at the unprecedented 3-point shooting record in the NBA of couple Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson
The pair of “Splash Brothers” Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have just extended a special set of indicators, which no one has been able to break since 2016 until now.
This morning (March 29), the Golden State Warriors completed a comeback against the New Orleans Pelicans, eliminating the 20-point gap and going straight to the final victory with a score of 120-109.
Leading the match was Stephen Curry, owner of 39 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. In addition, the “chef” also had 8 3-pointers in the whole match, helping him reach a milestone of 250 successful 3-pointers in the 2022-23 season.

After this match, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson together reached the milestone of 250 3-pointers in the same season, marking the third time both of them achieved this special achievement. The previous two times took place in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.
More worth mentioning is that in NBA history, no pair of NBA players has ever reached the milestone of each scoring 250 3-pointers. But Curry and Thompson alone have done it 3 times according to statistics from ESPN Stats & Info.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both extended the record that no one has been able to break in the NBA, which is reaching the milestone of 250 3-pointers together in a season.
In a career spanning 14 seasons (up to now), this is the 8th season that Stephen Curry has surpassed the mark of 250 3-pointers in the Regular Season.
Experts were concerned about Curry not being able to achieve the above achievement due to various injuries, causing the Golden State Warriors superstar to miss more than 25 matches since the beginning of the season. However, the “head chef” still completed the target.
Klay Thompson is somewhat the opposite of Curry as this is only the third time he has reached the 250 3PTM mark in nearly 12 years of competition. But in all three of these achievements, Klay was accompanied by Stephen Curry.
INCREASE QUANTITY BUT STILL GUARANTEED QUALITY
This season, both Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry shot more 3-pointers than their career average. Surprisingly, both still maintain efficiency from beyond the 3-point arc, even better than in recent seasons.
Stephen Curry has a 3-point shooting success rate of 42.8% 3PT. This is the second highest efficiency in the last 9 seasons even though he threw an average of 11.5 times per game (third highest in his entire career).
Similar to Klay Thompson when this pitcher reached 40.8% 3PT. This is the third best index since 2016 even though he is having the highest throwing intensity of his entire career, averaging 10.5 shots per match.
