Wardell Stephen "Steph" Curry II (born March 14, 1988)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is considered by many to be the greatest shooter in NBA history.[2] A three-time NBA All-Star, Curry holds the league record for most consecutive games with a made three-pointer (with 134).
Curry is the son of former NBA player Dell and older brother of current NBA player Seth. He played college basketball for Davidson. There, he was twice named Southern Conference Player of the Year and set the all-time scoring record for both Davidson and the Southern Conference. During his sophomore year, he also set the single-season NCAA record for three-pointers made.[3]
Curry was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors.[4] During the 2012–13 season, he set the NBA record for three-pointers made in a regular season with 272. He surpassed that record in 2014–15 with 286 three-pointers. During the 2013–14 season, Curry and teammate Klay Thompson were nicknamed the "Splash Brothers" en route to setting the NBA record for combined three-pointers in a season with 484.[5][6][7] In 2015, Curry won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and led the Warriors to their first Championship since 1975.
Early life
Curry was born in Akron, Ohio, but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where his father, Dell, spent most of his NBA career.[8] Dell often took Stephen and his younger brother, Seth, to his games, where they would shoot around with the Hornets during warm-ups.[9] The family briefly relocated to Toronto, Ontario, where Dell finished out his career as a member of the Raptors.[8] During this time, Curry was a member of the Queensway Christian College boy's basketball team, leading them to an undefeated season.[10][11] He was also a member of Toronto 5–0, a club team that plays across Ontario,[12][13] pitting him against future NBA players Cory Joseph and Kelly Olynyk.[13] Curry led the team to a 33–4 record, en route to winning the provincial championship.[14]
After Dell's retirement, the family moved back to Charlotte and Curry enrolled at Charlotte Christian School, where he was named all-conference, all-state, and led his team to three conference titles and three state playoff appearances. Because of his father's storied career at Virginia Tech, Curry wanted to play college basketball for the Hokies, but was only offered a walk-on spot due in part to his slender 160-pound frame.[15] He ultimately chose to attend Davidson College, who had been aggressively recruiting him from the tenth grade.[16]

College career
Freshman season
Before Curry even played one college game, head coach Bob McKillop said at a Davidson alumni event, "Wait 'til you see Steph Curry. He is something special."[17] In his first collegiate game, against Eastern Michigan, Curry finished with 15 points but committed 13 turnovers. In the next game, against Michigan, he scored 32 points, dished out 4 assists, and grabbed 9 rebounds. Curry finished the season leading the Southern Conference in scoring with 21.5 points per game. He was second in the nation among freshmen in scoring, behind only Kevin Durant of Texas. Curry's scoring ability helped the Wildcats to a 29–5 overall record and a Southern Conference regular season title. On March 2, 2007, in the Southern Conference tournament semi-finals against Furman, Curry made his 113th three-pointer of the year, breaking Keydren Clark's NCAA freshman season record for 3-point field goals.[18]
Curry eclipsed the school freshman scoring record with his 502nd point against Chattanooga on February 6, 2007.[19] On March 15, 2007, Davidson marched into the NCAA tournament as a 13 seed set to play Maryland; despite Curry's game-high 30 points, Davidson lost 82–70.[20] At the end of his freshman season, Curry was named Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, SoCon Tournament MVP, and selected to the SoCon All-tournament team, All-freshman team, and first team All-SoCon. He was also honorable mention in Sports Illustrated's All-Mid-Major. After the season ended, he was selected for the USA team to appear at the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championships in which he averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 19.4 minutes, helping team USA to a silver medal finish.
Sophomore season
In his sophomore season in 2007–08, Curry had grown to his adult height of 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) and again led the Southern Conference in scoring, averaging 25.5 points per game while adding 4.7 rebounds per game and 2.8 assists per game. He led the Wildcats to a 26–6 regular season record, and a 20–0 conference record. As a result, Davidson earned its third straight NCAA Tournament bid.
On March 21, 2008, Davidson matched up with seventh-seeded Gonzaga. Gonzaga led by 11 points early in the second half but Curry went on to score 30 points in the half[21] to push Davidson to their first NCAA Tournament win since 1969, 82–76. Curry ended the game with 40 points while also going 8-for-10 from 3-point range.[22] On March 23, Davidson played second seeded Georgetown in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Georgetown, ranked eighth nationally, entered the game as a heavy favorite after an appearance in the Final Four in 2007. Curry managed just five points in the first half of the game as Davidson trailed by as many as 17 points, but his 25 second-half points led Davidson to a 74–70 comeback victory.[21]
On March 28, 2008, Curry led Davidson to another win, against third-seeded Wisconsin. Curry scored 33 points as Davidson won 73–56 to advance to the Elite 8.[23] Curry joined Clyde Lovellette, Jerry Chambers, and Glenn Robinson as the only college players to score over 30 points in their first four career NCAA tournament games.[23] Curry also tied Darrin Fitzgerald of Butler for the single-season record for most three-pointers with 158.[24][25] On March 30, 2008, he set the record, against the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks, with his 159th three-pointer of the season. Curry scored 25 points in the game but Davidson lost 57-59, and the Jayhawks went on to win the championship.[26]
Curry finished the season averaging 25.9 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He was named to the Associated Press' All-America Second Team on March 31, 2008.[27] He also was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Midwest Region of the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Tournament, becoming the first player from a team not making the Final Four to do so since Juwan Howard of Michigan in 1994.[28] Curry was nominated for an ESPY in the Breakthrough Player of the Year category.[29]
Junior season
After Davidson's loss in the NCAA Regional Finals against Kansas, Curry announced that he would return for his junior year.[24] Curry stated he wanted to develop as a point guard as that would be his most likely position in the NBA. On November 18, 2008, Curry scored a career-high 44 points in Davidson's 82–78 loss to Oklahoma.[30] He extended a career-long streak by scoring at least 25 points for the seventh straight game.[30] On November 21, Curry registered a career-high 13 assists, to go along with 30 points, in Davidson's 97–70 win over Winthrop.[31] On November 25, against Loyola, he was held scoreless as Loyola constantly double-teamed Curry. It was Curry's only scoreless collegiate game and just his second without double-digit points. He finished 0-for-3 from the field as Davidson won the game 78-48.[32] In Davidson's next game (11 days later), Curry matched his career-high of 44 in a 72–67 win over North Carolina State.
Curry surpassed the 2000-point mark for his career on January 3, 2009, as he scored 21 points against Samford.[33] On February 14, 2009, Curry rolled his ankle in the second half of a win over Furman. The injury caused Curry to miss the February 18 game against The Citadel, the first and only game he missed in his college career.[34] On February 28, 2009, Curry became Davidson's all-time leading scorer with 34 points in a 99–56 win against Georgia Southern. That gave Curry 2,488 points for his career, surpassing previous school leader John Gerdy.[35] Davidson won the 2008-09 Southern Conference regular season championship for the south division, finishing 18-2 in the conference.[36][37]
In the 2009 Southern Conference Tournament, Davidson played Appalachian State in the quarterfinals and won 84-68. Curry scored 43 points, which is the third most points in Southern Conference tournament history.[38] In the semifinals, against the College of Charleston, Curry had 20 points but Davidson lost 52-59. Despite lobbying from Davidson head coach Bob McKillop and Charleston coach Bobby Cremins,[39] the Wildcats failed to get an NCAA tournament bid. Instead, they received the sixth seed in the 2009 NIT. Davidson played the third seed, South Carolina, on the road in the first round. Curry scored 32 points as the Wildcats beat the Gamecocks 70-63.[40][41] Davidson would then fall 68-80 to the Saint Mary's Gaels in the second round. Curry registered 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists in what was his final game for the Wildcats.[42]
He finished his final season at Davidson averaging 28.6 points, 5.6 assists, and 2.5 steals. He was the NCAA scoring leader and was named a consensus first team All-American.[43] Although he opted out of his senior year at Davidson, Curry stated that he still planned to earn his degree.[44]

Professional career
Golden State Warriors (2009–present)
Early seasons (2009–11)
Curry was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors.[45] His rookie contract was worth $12.7 million over four years.[46] In his first career game, he scored 14 points and distributed 7 assists.[47] With final season averages of 17.5 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.9 steals per game,[45] he finished second in NBA Rookie of the Year voting to Tyreke Evans, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.[48]
At the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend, Curry won the NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge.[49] He finished the season with averages of 18.6 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game and shot a franchise- and league-best 93.4 percent from the free throw line.[45][50] He was also the recipient of the NBA Sportsmanship Award.[51]
Injury-riddled year (2011–12)
In May 2011, Curry had surgery on his right ankle to repair torn ligaments that were caused by multiple sprains from the season before.[54] The ankle healed in time for the start of the 2011–12 campaign, but he sprained it again during the preseason and on January 4 in a game against the San Antonio Spurs.[55][56][57] On February 22, he strained a tendon in his right foot in a game against the Phoenix Suns.[58] In April, he had another surgery.[59] In total, Curry appeared in only 26 regular season games and his scoring average dipped to 14.7 points per game.[45]
Rise to stardom (2012–14)
Prior to the start of the 2012–13 season, Curry agreed to a four-year, $44 million rookie scale contract extension with the Warriors.[60] At the time, many basketball writers considered the move risky for Golden State because of Curry's injury history.[61] Over the course of the year, Curry and backcourt teammate Klay Thompson gained a reputation for their perimeter scoring, earning them the nickname "The Splash Brothers".[62] On February 27, Curry scored a career-high 54 points in a game against the New York Knicks, setting a franchise record for three-pointers made in a game with 11 and falling just one shy of tying the NBA record.[63][64] His final averages were 22.9 points and 6.9 assists per game,[45] and he eventually set a new league record for three-pointers made in a single season.[65] The Warriors finished the year with 47 wins, earning them the sixth seed in the Western Conference and a matchup with the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.[66] Golden State advanced to the second round, where Curry scored 44 points in a Game 1 loss to the Spurs.[67] The Warriors eventually lost the series in six games.[68]
In December of the 2013–14 season, Curry eclipsed Jason Richardson as the franchise's leader in career three-pointers.[69] In February, he made his first All-Star appearance, starting for the West.[70] Behind averages of 24 points and 8.5 assists per game, he was selected to his first All-NBA Team.[45] Seeded sixth for the second consecutive year, the Warriors drew the Los Angeles Clippers to begin the postseason.[71] In Game 4, Curry scored 33 points, including a then playoff career-high seven three-pointers, in a winning effort.[72] Golden State went on to lose the series in seven games.[71]
NBA championship and MVP (2014–15)
Prior to the start of the 2014–15 season, the Warriors hired former NBA player and general manager Steve Kerr as their new head coach.[74] Kerr implemented significant changes to Golden State's schemes, including playing at a faster pace and giving Curry more freedom to shoot, helping the team evolve into a title contender.[75] On February 4, Curry scored a season-high 51 points in a win over the Dallas Mavericks.[76] He was the leading vote-getter for the All-Star Game and won the Three-Point Contest on All-Star Saturday night.[77][78] On April 9, he broke his own league record for three-pointers made in a season during a game against the Portland Trail Blazers.[79] The Warriors finished the year with 67 wins and Curry was voted the NBA Most Valuable Player after posting averages of 23.8 points, 7.7 assists and 2 steals per game.[45] Over the course of the season, he sat out 17 fourth quarters due to Golden State's wide margins of victory.[80]
In Game 5 of the Conference Semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry became the first player in league history to register six three-pointers and six steals in a game.[81] In Game 6, he made a playoff career-high eight three-pointers en route to a series-clinching victory.[82] In Game 3 of the Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets, he broke the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single postseason.[83][84] The Warriors went on to defeat the Rockets to earn a Finals matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where Curry struggled to start the series, converting on only 22 percent of his field goals in Game 2.[85] In Game 5, he scored 37 points,[86] and in Game 6, Golden State closed out the series to win their first championship in 40 years.[87] For the Finals, Curry averaged 26 points and 6.3 assists per game.[86]
2015–16 season
On October 27, 2015, Curry scored 40 points (including a career-high 24 points in the first quarter) in the Warriors' season opening win over the New Orleans Pelicans, the most points scored by a reigning MVP in an opener since 1972 when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 41 for the Milwaukee Bucks.[88] In addition, Curry started his seventh straight season opener, joining Jeff Mullins, and Chris Mullin as the only Warriors' players since 1962 to do so.[88] Two games later on October 31, also against the Pelicans, Curry scored 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting to lead the Warriors to a 134–120 win. Curry became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1989–90 to score 118 points in the first three games of a season.[89] On November 14 against the Brooklyn Nets, Curry passed his father on the NBA's list of career three-point field goals made. He moved to 41st all-time in just 427 games, while Dell needed 1,083 games to reach 1,245 three-pointers.[90] After scoring 20 points or more in the Warriors' first 14 games of the season, Curry scored 19 in a November 22 win over the Denver Nuggets, helping Golden State tie the NBA record of 15 wins to start a season, matching the 1948–49 Washington Capitols and the 1993–94 Houston Rockets.[91] On November 24, he scored 24 points in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers, as the Warriors set the record for best start in NBA history at 16–0.[92] The Warriors improved to 24–0 on December 11 with a double overtime win over the Boston Celtics, before finally having their streak broken the following day against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team's 28-game winning streak, counting the final four games of the 2014–15 season, came to a halt despite a 28-point performance by Curry in what was a 108–95 loss to the Bucks.[93]
In a Christmas Day Finals rematch against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, Curry scored 19 points to help the Warriors improve to 28–1 by winning their 32nd straight regular-season home game.[94] On December 28, he recorded his sixth career triple-double with 23 points, a career-high 14 rebounds and 10 assists in a 122–103 win over the Sacramento Kings. During the game against the Kings, Curry was guarded by his brother Seth for the first time in their NBA career.[95] Two days later, Curry sat out his first game of the season due to a bruised lower left leg. The Warriors were consequently defeated for just the second time, losing 114–91 to the Dallas Mavericks.[96] The injury also forced him to sit out the team's game against the Houston Rockets on December 31, and forced him to exit games early on January 2 and January 5.[97] On January 22, he recorded his second triple-double of the season and seventh of his career with 39 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a 122–110 win over the Indiana Pacers. He made eight three-pointers in the game to reach 200 for the season, becoming the first player in NBA history to make 200 three-pointers in four straight seasons.[98] On February 3, he made 11 three-pointers (including seven in the first quarter) and scored 51 points (including a career-high 36 points in the first half) to lead the Warriors past the Washington Wizards 134–121. His 51 points tied Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jordan for the Verizon Center record.[99] On February 10, he recorded a near triple-double with 26 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in a 112–104 win over the Phoenix Suns. At 48–4, the Warriors entered the All-Star break with the best record through 52 games in NBA history, one win better than the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls and 1966–67 Philadelphia 76ers.[100] On February 25, he made 10 three-pointers and scored 51 points to lead the Warriors past the Orlando Magic 130–114. Curry topped 50 points for the third time in 2015–16, the first player to do it that many times since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade did so in 2008–09. Curry also surpassed Kyle Korver's mark of 127 straight games with a three-pointer.[101] In the following game two days later, the Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime thanks to a Curry three-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining. Curry finished with 46 points as his winning shot was his 12th three-pointer, tying the NBA single-game record (with Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall).[102] He also broke his own NBA record for threes in a season, leaving the new mark at 288.[103] On March 7, in a win over the Orlando Magic, Curry scored 41 points and became the first player in NBA history to make 300 three-pointers in a season.[104]
National team career
Curry's first experience with the United States national team came at the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, where he helped Team USA capture the silver medal.[105] In 2010, he was selected to the senior squad, playing limited minutes at the 2010 FIBA World Championship as the United States won the gold medal in an undefeated tournament.[106] In 2014, he took on a larger role with the team, helping them to another undefeated tournament at the 2014 FIBA World Championship and scoring 10 points in the final game.[107]
Player profile
Curry plays almost exclusively at the point guard position and has career averages of 21.6 points, 6.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He has been selected to two All-NBA Teams (2014–15) and voted MVP once.[45] Since 2013, he has been ranked a top ten player in the NBA as part of ESPN's #NBArank project.[108][109][110]
Many basketball analysts, commentators, and current and former players consider Curry to be the greatest shooter of all-time.[111] Using an unorthodox jump shot, he is able to get the ball out of his hands in under half a second by releasing it on the way up, adding extra arc to his shot and making it difficult to block.[112] In addition to his quick release, he puts extra pressure on defenses with his long range, leading the NBA in field goals made from beyond 28 feet in 2016.[113] As of January 2015, he ranks second in NBA history in career three-point field goal percentage and holds three of the top five seasons in terms of total three-pointers made.[114][115][116] He is also the fastest player in league history to make 1,000 career three-pointers, doing so in 88 fewer games than the previous record-holder.[117] In an article for FiveThirtyEight, Benjamin Morris emphasized Curry's importance in the NBA's increasing use of the three-point shot, writing, "Curry is perhaps the figurehead in the NBA's Three-Point Revolution."[118]
Personal life
On July 30, 2011, Curry married longtime girlfriend and Toronto native Ayesha Alexander in Charlotte.[11][12][119][120] Together, they have two daughters, Riley born in 2012 and Ryan born in 2015.[121][122] They currently reside in Orinda, California.[123] Curry's younger brother, Seth, is also a professional basketball player,[124] and his younger sister, Sydel, plays volleyball at Elon University.[125]
Curry has been outspoken about his Christian faith.[126][127] Curry spoke about his faith during his MVP speech by saying, "People should know who I represent and why I am who I am, and that's because of my Lord and Savior." He also said the reason that he pounds his chest and points up is that he has a "heart for God" and as a reminder that he plays for God.[128] On some of his "Curry One" basketball shoes, there is a lace loop scripted "4:13".[129] It is a reference to the Bible verse Philippians 4:13, which reads "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".[130][131] Curry has a tattoo of First Corinthians, 13:8 in Hebrew on his wrist ("Love never fails...").[132]
During the 1992 All-Star Weekend, Curry's father entrusted him to Biserka Petrović, mother of future Hall of Fame player Dražen Petrović, while Dell competed in the Three-Point Contest. Following the 2015 NBA Finals, Curry gave Biserka one of his Finals-worn jerseys, which will reportedly be added to the collection of the Dražen Petrović Memorial Center, a museum to the late player in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.[133]
In 2012, Curry started donating three insecticide-treated mosquito nets for every three-pointer he made to the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign to combat malaria. He was first introduced to the malaria cause by Davidson teammate Bryant Barr when they were both in school. Curry visited the White House in 2015 and delivered a five-minute speech to dignitaries as part of President Barack Obama's launch of his President's Malaria Initiative strategy for 2015–2020.[134][135]
In 2015, Curry wore sneakers that had Deah Shaddy Barakat's name on them (one of the victims of the 2015 Chapel Hill shooting).[136] According to his sister Suzanne, Deah Barakat was known for his "love for basketball and anything Steph Curry."[137] Deah's number for his intramural basketball team at North Carolina State University was Curry's No. 30 and he posed for a photo that was similar to one that Curry did for GQ.[137] Curry said that Barakat's family "did a great job of reaching out to me and making me aware of the details of his life and personality […] It was really kind of a cool deal to be able to use the platform yesterday to honor Deah and his family […] I'm going to send them the shoes I wore yesterday. And hopefully they know that I've been thinking about them."[138][139][140]
