Stephen Curry Credits ‘Crazy Faith’ After Making NBA History
By Movieguide® Staff
Future Hall of Fame point guard Stephen Curry recently became the best shooter in the history of the NBA.
The 33-year-old all-star surpassed Ray Allen on the list of all-time three-point field goals in the first quarter of a recent game at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.
Curry credited “crazy faith” for the astounding achievement of 2,974 three-pointers in 13 seasons and 511 fewer games than Allen.
“I’ve had crazy faith ever since I started playing basketball and to think, like this moment, was possible and again to do it in front of Ray… is special to have one of my own now,” Curry said after the game on TNT.
After the game, Curry received a jersey with the number “2,974” on it from Allen and previous record-holder Reggie Miller.
“This is very special,” Curry added. “I’ve been thinking about this number for a long time. I even got (the number) on my shoes. In basketball history, this is pretty special.”
“These two legends – I watched them growing up and understood what it meant to shoot the ball because of them and my dad… full-circle moment,” Curry said. “I’m blessed – blessed for sure.”
In the past, Curry expressed his faith openly.
“I love that basketball gives me the opportunities to do good things for people and to point them towards the Man who died for our sins on the cross,” Curry wrote in a 2015 Fellowship for Christian Athletes article. “I know I have a place in heaven waiting for me because of Him, and that’s something no earthly prize or trophy could ever top.”
