If there is one thing Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors loves to do, it’s make three-pointers.
There’s a reason he’s the all-time three-point leader in the NBA and also known as the best sharp-shooter of all time.
And Chef Curry doesn’t turn it off when the postseason begins.
In fact, he’s just as dominant in the playoffs as he is in the regular season.

On Monday night, Curry became the first player in NBA history to have 500 career three-pointers made in the playoffs.
He has now surpassed LeBron James, his buddy Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, and more.
Curry is thriving lately – does that mean his Warriors are Finals-bound?

Remember when some people thought that Curry’s extended time away from the court before the postseason would hurt his game?
That thought seems silly now, doesn’t it?
Yes, he missed a while because of injury but he has been playing phenomenally since his return.
He is averaging 28.1 points, 4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists a game in these playoffs.
He’s also averaging 3.7 three-pointers in every game.
Curry is once again the most important part of his Warriors’ lineup and he’s helping them push the Memphis Grizzlies out of the postseason.
If and when that happens, the Warriors will reach the Western Conference Finals for the first time in a few years.
The good news for Warriors fans is that the team is looking healthy, playing well, and working excellently on both ends of the court.
This version of Golden State looks a lot like the versions from 2015, 2017, and 2018, when they won their three rings.
Does another championship await this team?
There are still many challenges ahead but if Curry keeps playing as he has been and the rest of the squad keeps it up, no challenge may be enough to stop them.
