Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry made history on Thursday night, becoming the first NBA player to hit 4,000 career three-pointers in the regular season. His wife, Ayesha Curry, was quick to react to the milestone.
Curry reached the landmark in the third quarter of the Warriors’ game against the Sacramento Kings. After receiving a pass from Moses Moody, he executed a pump fake and side-step to evade his defender before sinking a deep 27-foot shot. The four-time NBA champion needed just two three-pointers to reach 4,000, and he did exactly that. His record-setting shot was also his final three-pointer of the game, finishing 2-of-6 from beyond the arc.
As the NBA and the Warriors celebrated Curry’s remarkable feat, Ayesha Curry showed her support with a simple yet powerful Instagram post. She shared a clip of the historic shot but let the moment speak for itself, opting not to add a caption.
Along with Ayesha, the Warriors, and fans, fellow NBA stars also acknowledged Curry’s achievement. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James praised him on social media, writing, “4K from Trey is CRAZY!!!!! Congrats my brother!! That’s [fire].”
Curry’s latest milestone further solidifies his legacy as the greatest shooter in NBA history, making it incredibly difficult for anyone to surpass his record.
