Arguing about Steph Curry’s best highlights is like trying to pick a favorite firework—you remember the boom, but the sparkle matters too. This guy is basically unstoppable on the court, and he’s turned ordinary possessions into little magic tricks. Even on nights when the box score looks normal, he leaves a trail of memorable moments behind. Here are five moments that show why his story still feels in progress.
The 38-Footer in Oklahoma City (2016)
It sometimes takes a miracle to pull something off in overtime, but Curry never flinched. In overtime against the Thunder, he dribbled up and launched from beyond 30 feet, draining the winner with 0.6 seconds left like it was a routine pull-up. He finished with 46 points, but it’s the audacity of the shot that still makes you laugh and shake your head.
A Unanimous MVP in a 73-Win Season (2015–16)
His second MVP arrived with a historic wrinkle: every voter picked him, which basically never happens. Add Golden State’s 73–9 record and his season-long three-point avalanche, and you get the year defenses started guarding the logo like it was sacred ground.
The Night He Became the All-Time 3-Point Leader (2021)
You never know where you’ll be when someone achieves greatness! At Madison Square Garden, Curry passed Ray Allen by hitting career three number 2,974, and the moment felt bigger than the game itself. The pause, the smiles, the crowd’s buzz—everything said, “Yes, you’re watching the sport change in real time.”
Game 4 in Boston: 43 Points of Pure Nerve (2022 Finals)
With the Finals swinging toward danger, Curry erupted for 43 to even the series, turning TD Garden into a quiet space of disbelief. It wasn’t just scoring; it was leadership by shot-making, delivered without a hint of panic.
First Player to 4,000 Career Threes (2025)
Reaching 3,000 was wild enough, but 4,000 sounded like science fiction—that is, until he made it real on March 13, 2025, against Sacramento. If you want a modern milestone that captures his uniqueness, this is it: a record that once seemed impossible, becoming a checkpoint.
