Anyone who had any lingering doubt as to whether Steph Curry is the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history may have had their questions answered on Saturday.
In a video posted by the Golden State Warriors on the team’s official Twitter feed, Curry is recorded shooting three-pointers for over five minutes. He connected on 105 in a row before missing his 106th attempt.
What’s most interesting about the video, however, is the apparent disappointment Curry had after missing the 106th shot.
One can only wonder whether he and Klay Thompson have engaged in these kinds of battles in the past and whether or not Curry has ever approached 200 consecutive made three-point shots in a single session.

In case you need a reminder, Curry holds the NBA record for most three-point shots made in a single season with 402. He did so in the 2015-16 campaign, which is when the Warriors won 73 games and Curry became the first player to be unanimously named Most Valuable Player.
He also connected on 354 and 324 three-pointers during the 2018-19 season and 2016-17 seasons, respectively. Those totals were good for the third and fourth-best with respect to three-pointers made in a single season.
Curry enters play on Dec. 26 with 2,499 made three-pointers — good for third all-time. He trails only Reggie Miller (2,560) and Ray Allen (2,973) on the all-time list.
Based on what we saw on Sunday, it’s safe to say that both Miller and Allen’s days are numbered. Curry is simply not human.
