Wardell Stephen Curry II was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. He learned to play basketball from his father, NBA guard Dell Curry. Although the younger Curry was a standout player in high school, he was not recruited by major college basketball programs. He attended Davidson College in North Carolina, a school with an enrollment of fewer than 2,000 students. Curry quickly made his mark at Davidson, however. He averaged 21.5 points per game as a freshman to lead all first-year players in the country. During his sophomore season he led Davidson to the Elite Eight (quarterfinal round) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball championship tournament. The following season he was the NCAA’s top scorer, averaging 28.6 points per game. He was named a consensus first-team All-American. He then entered the 2009 NBA draft. He was selected by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick.

Named Golden State’s starting point guard, Curry soon established himself as one of the league’s best shooters. In 2010–11 he led the NBA in free-throw percentage (.934). He led the league in three-point field goals with 272 in 2012–13 and 261 the following season. In 2014–15 Curry made a then-record 286 three-pointers. He won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award that season. In the playoffs he propelled the Warriors to victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals. It was Golden State’s first league title in 40 years. In 2015–16 Curry led the NBA in scoring with an average of 30.1 points per game and shattered his own league standard by making an astounding 402 three-point shots. Golden State bested the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls’ 72–10 regular-season record by one additional victory. Curry earned his second consecutive MVP award. However, the Warriors’ historic season ultimately ended in disappointment. The team was upset by the Cavaliers in the NBA finals.
- In 2016–17 Curry made 324 three-point shots to again lead the NBA in that category.
- In a game against the New York Knicks on December 14, 2021, Curry made his 2,974th career three-pointer to surpass Ray Allen as the NBA’s all-time leader in three-point field goals.
- Curry went on to lead the Warriors to a 53–29 regular-season record and a berth in the finals, where the team triumphed over the Boston Celtics in six games.
