The Golden State Warriors have remained one of the best teams in the NBA over the last decade or so.
Although many players have contributed to the Warriors’ success in the above-mentioned timeframe, there is no debate that Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the organization’s success.
In fact, Curry has changed the way that the game of basketball is played in the NBA in the modern era.
Yes, we are talking about none other than Curry’s insane ability to score from beyond the three-point line.
A perfect example of this is the fact that Curry has the most games in NBA history where he has made eight or more three-pointers in a game, as revealed via NBA on ESPN.

Curry holds the record with 79 such games.
While not many may understand the significance of this record, it’s the fact that no player is even close to him in the category that makes it even more impressive.
After Curry, Damian Lillard is second on the list with 29 games.
In fact, Curry’s 79 games in the category surpasses the next three players on the list combined, as Lillard, Klay Thompson, and James Harden have a combined 75 games.
It’s no doubt that Curry will go down as the best three-point shooter in the history of the league.
