“Ultimate weight off my shoulder” - Steph Curry on breaking the 3 point record, says it was the longest week of his life

Early on, the 2021-2022 NBA season started with the Steph Curry-led Golden State Warriors leading the league, having won 18 of their first 20 games. With the Phoenix Suns closely behind with 17 victories, leading to their longest winning streak of 18 games from game five through to 22.

Since leading the league in the first few months, the Warriors have slipped to the third seed without Curry on the court for their last seven games. In that period, the Warriors have lost six outings, and was only able to muster a win against the Miami Heat.

The Warriors' poor run in recent weeks has not in anyway taken away from Curry's amazing season achievement - becoming the all-time leading 3-point scorer.

Steph Curry, who has yet to share what the feeling leading up to him breaking the all-time 3-point record felt like. In an interview with Bird and Taurasi on the "Bird and Taurasi Show," Curry discussed his 3-point record-breaking run, which he described as the "longest week of my life."

"Seeing the last shot go in was kind of the ultimate weight off my shoulder. It was kind of a matter of time and it was the longest week of my life because I shot 15 threes, the five games before." Curry revealed.

"I felt that anxiousness every time I touched the ball. Every time from the jump ball, every time I touched the ball I saw everybody stand up. To see like a whole crowd appreciate a moment like that, if I wasn't going to do it at home, to do it at Madison Garden was definitely second best."
