Fans inside the Chase Center rose to their feet to give Curry an ovation when an announcement recognized the milestone during a timeout later in the game.

And teammate Draymond Green even secured the game ball for Curry as a keepsake on such a momentous occasion.

However, Curry seemed to suggest he was going to let Green keep hold of it for him, joking that the four-time NBA All-Star already has some memorabilia from Kevin Durant.

He said: “He’s going to keep it for me. I heard he has a little bit of KD’s memorabilia”.

Curry joins the likes of LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in the list of 26 stars to reach the milestone.

While he is one of only 10 players to manage the feat with just one franchise.

The two-time NBA MVP also has the fewest free throw attempts of any player to reach 25,000 points.

Speaking after the game, in which he racked up 32 points, Curry said: “It [the record] was a surprise, actually. I knew I was coming up on it but I didn’t think about it until I heard it in game.

“There’s a list, [broadcaster] Tim Roye told me after the game only 10 guys, I think or now 10 guys, that have done it with one franchise, so that’s pretty special.

“And the names that are on that list are synonymous with basketball history, so that’s pretty cool.”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr waxed lyrical about Curry, saying: “It’s crazy, crazy.

“It feels like 25,000 3s, actually. It’s dynamite. Just night after night, and tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him.

“But I loved that he played through fatigue and a physical defense and got to the line 12 times.

“He was brilliant on a night when his shot really wasn’t there, he was still brilliant. That’s the mark of a great player.”

Curry, who is known for his sensational three-point ability, is now just seven three pointers away from hitting 4,000 career triples.

The four-time NBA champ already leads the league in all-time three pointers, setting the record back in 2021.
