The Warriors missed out on the NBA Finals this year, falling in the Western Conference semifinals to the Lakers, who themselves succumbed to a resurgent Denver.

With Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray teaming up for some spectacular play, posting the first two-player triple-double in NBA Finals history, there is one thing that they are still miles away from. Three point glory.

That crown belongs to one man, and one man alone: Stephen Curry.

Steph Curry holds NBA Finals record for 3 pointers

In his six NBA Finals appearances with the Warriors, Curry has made 152 three-pointers, towering over the next-best player, team mate Klay Thompson with 106. He’s also the all-time NBA Finals leader in 3-pointers in a single game with 9 and 3-point attempts in a single game with 17. We’ve laid it all out for you below:

Most career 3-pointers in NBA Finals

Curry leads the league with 152, and his partner in crime, Klay Thomspon, comes in second place with 106 3-pointers just ahead of LeBron James who’s made 101 trays.

Most 3-pointers in an NBA Finals game

Curry broke Ray Allen’s unprecedented record of eight three-pointers in Game 2 of the 2018 NBA Finals against the Cavaliers when he went for nine. No other player has surpassed either his or Allen’s marks so far.

Most 3-point attempts in an NBA Finals game

The Baby-faced assassin is still the only player to take at least 15 three-pointers in an NBA Finals game. He didn’t do that just once, or twice, but four times in his career.
