Steph Curry Hits 4K Threes: A Heartfelt Slam Dunk for the Home Crowd

Steph Curry just made history by sinking his 4,000th career three-pointer, and he chose to do it right in front of the home crowd at the Chase Center. Nothing says, “I love you, my adoring fans!” quite like hitting a milestone right where it all began.
The Golden State Warriors rolled past the Sacramento Kings in a stunning 130-104 victory, but let’s be honest: the real headline was Curry’s iconic shot. After the game, he opened up about feeling that unique energy in the arena when he finally made the historic shot, saying, “It was a weird game because I didn’t get many attempts, but to finally get it in the third [quarter], I felt the energy. It was special”.
Despite scoring only 11 points in 33 minutes, like, hello low-key, Steph, the Bay Area did what it does best: showered him with “MVP” chants celebrating his 16 years of jaw-dropping, gravity-defying greatness. Let’s face it; we would all take a 16-year career full of record-breaking moments over whatever boring 9-to-5 capitalist grind awaits out there.
The Warriors are now on a six-game winning streak, sporting a fabulous 13-1 record since acquiring the all-star, Jimmy Butler. Not that we’re keeping score here (yes, we totally are). And just when you think they can’t get any better, Steph pulls a milestone moment that shows you don’t have to be a money-grubbing tycoon to make your mark; sometimes, a little talent and a loyal fanbase are all you need.
So, what’s next for the Dubs? After a fantastic night filled with nostalgia and hype, the Bay Area is buzzing with what Curry might do next in this superstar saga. As the season progresses, keep your (brew) glasses raised for #30 because, let’s be real, this ride is far from over. Only one thing’s for certain: as long as the Chase Center is standing, Steph’s name is going to light up that scoreboard a few thousand more times.
Cheers to you, Steph! Keep giving us memories we can actually brag about, unlike our relentless student loans or overpriced avocado toast.
