Steph becomes first Dubs player to reach 3,000 playoff points originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Steph Curry has made too many transition pull-up 3-pointers to count.
The one he made Monday before halftime against the Nuggets in Game 2, however, was special. Curry’s fast break 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 57-49 lead with a minute to go in the half, and it put Curry in the history books as the first player in Warriors history to score 3,000 career postseason points.
Curry is also the 27th player in NBA history to reach the 3,000 point mark.
With 16 points in the first half, Stephen Curry has scored 3,000 career postseason points, becoming the 27th player in NBA history to reach the milestone.

Whether Curry is coming off the bench or not, he’s still got that magic shooting touch.
Curry is 34 years old, but given the success of the Warriors franchise since he was drafted in 2009, it’s not a stretch to imagine him racking up at least another thousand points before his career is all said and done.
