You Won't Believe How Many Historic Games Steph & Dell Curry Just Set—A Shocking Father-Son NBA Record!

SAN FRANCISCO — In a remarkable milestone for basketball's most celebrated family, Dell and Steph Curry have officially played more games together as a father-son duo in NBA history. This milestone was reached on Saturday night during the Golden State Warriors’ 123-114 victory over the Utah Jazz. With this game, they surpassed the previous record of 2,134 games held by Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes and his son, Danny Schayes.

The Currys have become synonymous with exceptional shooting over the decades. Dell Curry had a successful 16-season NBA career, gaining respect as one of the premier long-range shooters of his time. Following in his father’s footsteps, Steph Curry has elevated the art of shooting, amassing an astonishing 4,177 three-pointers over his 17-year career, making him the best three-point shooter in league history. His tally is approximately 1,000 more than the second-place holder, James Harden.

But the Curry legacy doesn't end there. Seth Curry, Dell's youngest son, is also carving out a name for himself in the league. Over his 12 NBA seasons, Seth has played in 522 games and boasts a career shooting percentage of 43.3% from beyond the arc. As of Saturday, he is on the cusp of reaching 1,000 career made three-pointers, a feat that would make him the third Curry to achieve this milestone.

When Dell retired after the 2001-02 season, his 1,245 made three-pointers ranked 10th in NBA history. The progression of the Curry family’s impact on the game highlights not just individual talent, but a legacy of shooting excellence.

Steph celebrated this monumental achievement in a memorable way, scoring 20 points in the third quarter alone. This marks the third time this season he has scored at least 20 points in a single quarter, and the 45th such occurrence in his illustrious career—more than any player since he joined the league in 2009.

The bond between the Currys runs deep. Recently, Dell and Steph shared a moment in Charlotte, where the Warriors faced off against the Hornets, a team Dell played for during 10 of his seasons. Dell, who has transitioned into a broadcasting role with the Hornets, expressed pride in his son’s achievements.

After the game, Steph reflected on the significance of the record, stating, “It’s cool. Just longevity and the family business being in this game. You add my brother’s points, it’s even better, so pretty special for the Curry family as a whole. Knowing that (Dell) played for 16 years, I’m in my 17th year still trying to do it. A dream come true to be honest.”

This family’s journey through the NBA is not only a testament to their individual talent but also to the values of perseverance and dedication. The Currys have carved out a niche in basketball history, setting a benchmark for future generations. As fans follow their careers, they can appreciate not just the numbers, but the familial ties that have contributed to this record-breaking legacy.
