American · Charlotte, North Carolina · Born 14 March 1988American basketball player widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, revolutionizing the game with his three-point shooting ability.
Wardell Stephen Curry II was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1988, the son of NBA player Dell Curry. He was considered too small and slight to play Division I basketball and was overlooked by major programmes before Davidson College took a chance on him. He led Davidson to the Elite Eight of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, scoring 25 points per game and announcing himself to the nation. Golden State Warriors selected him seventh overall in the 2009 NBA Draft. His career has rewritten the rules of basketball — he holds the all-time NBA record for three-pointers made with over 3,700, surpassing Ray Allen's previous record by more than 1,000. He won four NBA championships with the Warriors (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) and two regular season MVP awards (2015, 2016) — the second unanimously, the first unanimous MVP in NBA history. He led the Warriors to 73 wins in the 2015-16 regular season — the best record in NBA history. His shooting range — regularly attempting and making shots from 35-40 feet — forced defenders to guard him full-court and opened the entire floor for teammates. He won the scoring title twice. He was selected to 10 All-Star games. He won Olympic gold with the USA at Paris 2024, finally completing his collection after a long wait at international level. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2025.
