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). Many players and analysts have called him the greatest shooter in NBA history.[2] In 2014–15, Curry won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. The following season, he became the first player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring while shooting above 50–40–90. That same year, the Warriors broke the record for the most wins in an NBA season.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, and again in 2015–16 with 402. During the 2013–14 season, he 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] a record they broke in 2014–15 (525) and in 2015–16 (678).[8] A three-time NBA All-Star, Curry holds the league record for most consecutive games with a made three-pointer (152).
