Obviously, Curry isn't playing 82 games. But if he averages, say, 60 games per season over the next three seasons or so, he'd likely be able to push his record out to 5,000 3-pointers.

Curry's consistency from deep is unprecedented. He has led the league in single-season 3-point field goals eight times, including a record 402 in the 2015-16 season. The records for five of the six most 3-pointers made in a single season belong to Curry.

Curry, who will turn 37 on Friday, entered Thursday already having made 251 3s this season, leading the league at 4.5 per game.
