I've been around basketball my whole life.

It's always been part of who I am.

But the more I played,

the more I started to see it differently.

There's a freedom to it,

sense that it can become whatever you make it.

A way to express yourself.

For me, it's never just been a game.

It's always felt more like an art.

Great artists make you think differently.

They take what came before them and then expand on it.

Whether it's painting, or music, or architecture.

It's taking what other people have created

and creating something of your own.

When you're starting out,

you have to do something that really excites you.

And whatever's different about that,

it's the things that you can bring to what you're doing

that maybe not everybody else is doing,

maybe not everybody else can do or has thought to do.

That's what's gonna distinguish the thing.

The more yours is personal,

the more it's not like hers, or his, or theirs.

It's yours.

Be you. Be unique.

You can follow everybody else's stuff,

but then you're not you.

Every great artist has that something.

The thing that sets them apart.

A signature where the world kind of stops and says,

"Yeah, that's them."

For Steph,

it's the three-point shot.

JAY-Z: Let's go get 'em again, Just.

♪ Oh my god ♪

♪ Come on ♪

Curry for three. Yes, sir!

Crossover. Fires away. Wow!

Curry!

Curry splits the defense.

Behind the back! Fires a three!

Oh! He puts it in!

There's such a beauty to the shot itself.

The way it comes off his hand,

the way it floats through the air,

the backspin on the ball.

It really does feel like you're watching a movie.

It's like the ball almost slows down in midair.

Curry sets, fires, puts it up.

Bang!

Got by Rivers. Good if it goes.

Curry flings it the other way!

And he got it!

JAY-Z: ♪ Iron, iron ♪

The igniter of the three-point revolution

of the NBA.

The man who changed the game.

Bang! Oh, what a shot!

How all 30 teams approach the game

is because of number 30.

Curry for the lead.

Good!

That guy's incredible!

Here's Curry for the record!

It's good! There it is!

Stephen Curry!

The all-time three-point king of the NBA!

Yeah, QP, get them reps in.

Get them reps in.

- There he is. - Good to see you. You good?

Yes, sir, Andy. Good to see you.

Thank you, sir.

Hey! Oh!

Way to look out for me, dawg. Appreciate that.

Ooh, you.

- Switch spots. - H--- no.

Ohh!

On two!

Just us! One, two, three!

Just us!

The more I've played, the more I've learned.

You know, everybody's got their own path.

Different directions, different struggles.

The specific details change.

But the journey usually begins the same.

The initial thought of making the art

is not for somebody else.

I feel you have to start from within.

The thing that makes your heart beat.

It's something that will make you say,

"Hmm, I gotta go and do that thing that gives me me."

Every single artistic success story

relies on so much aligning in someone's life

outside of their life,

being in the right place at the right time,

and maybe just somebody putting a guitar in their hands

or a basketball in their hands or,

you know, sitting them down in front of the piano

at the exact moment they need to do that.

Dell Curry fakes.

Toni Kuko runs at him.

Dell Curry hits a long two.

For me, that spark came early.

You know, with my dad being in the league,

the game was around me from day one.

Curry, his wife Sonya,

and nine-month-old son Stephen,

now make their home in South Charlotte.

Young Stephen may not know it now,

basketball may be his future.

Come on, make it. You gotta make your first shot.

I don't remember my first basket.

Yay!

I just remember the feeling

of getting the ball through the hoop.

Whoa! Yeah!

That little rush, you know.

Steph, shoot three points.

Come on, Steph.

At first, you don't even understand it.

You're like, you know, what was that?

What's this feeling?

Defense, man. Defense.

I was just falling in love with it,

and I wanted to keep doing it.

And before I knew it...

- Shoot it! - ...it was the only thing

I wanted to do.

That was out!

It went from a curiosity

to almost, like, um, an obsession.

Good evening, everyone, from San Francisco,

with NBA history center stage tonight,

as Steph Curry aims for a never-before-achieved milestone

of 4,000 made three-point shots.

No player has ever knocked down that many threes

in the history of the NBA.

CJ, what up?

Hey, what are you chasing tonight, Steph?

Pretty cool milestone, that clean 4,000 number, so...

Two, two away, hopefully get it, whenever we get it,

but definitely special.

The breaking the record was a big deal,

and then a couple weeks later, you got 3,000,

and for some reason, those even big numbers sound amazing.

Um, when did you start thinking that 4,000 was a possibility?

- At 3,500. - Okay.

Yeah, it's like every time you...

You get lost in the flow of the season just knowing...

I mean, that's not what I'm gunning for because...

You're not going home and playing the shot.

Yeah. Exactly. Having a running tally.

But there was clean milestones, 'cause everything...

Every shot I make is a first...

- Yeah. - ...which is kind of cool.

I've been blessed to be in this game for a long time.

You know, every shot I make,

I still get that same rush I did as a kid.

Yes!

But milestones like this don't come around often.

There's something a little more special about it.

- Happy birthday, early. - Thank you very much.

What are you turning, 40...? 37?

- Thirty... You say 40? - 37.

- 37, yeah. - Yeah, do you feel 37?

Yeah, and no at the same time, like...

Once you get warmed up--

Young in life, but old out here in basketball,

it just does take you a little longer to get...

yeah, loose and warm, but I can still get there.

The older you get, the more you realize

the door is not open forever.

And you never really know when it's gonna be over.

Oh, yeah, just loosening up a little bit.

- Huh? - Just loosening up a little bit.

It's like a little nerve that... It's annoying.

It's not getting worse. It just woke me up a little bit.

Yeah.

So, you know, I just appreciate every moment out there.

I'm blessed to still be here, be part of this.

Doing the thing I love.

You know, carrying forward what my heroes once carried.

My whole love for this media...

...comes from paying attention to the past.

All the geniuses that all of us are learning from

and upon whose shoulders we stand.

I was fortunate to, you know,

witness greatness up close on a nightly basis.

My dad, his release, the confidence he played with.

Curry with 27.

That was the first picture I had of the game.

Then it was guys like Reggie,

Ray, the shooters I studied every night.

You know, Reggie, constant motion,

always finding space.

Miller, a three!

Bang!

Ray, same form, same stroke, every single time.

Ray Allen for the game.

Hey, you might think this is Reggie Miller's son,

but it isn't.

It's actually Dell Curry's son, Stephen.

And he looks like a future point guard for the Hornets.

Every day I'd be out there,

you know, launching shots, trying to emulate my heroes.

Paying attention to all those little things

that make the difference.

It's the obsessive nature of being really into something

that once you start down a thread,

you just keep pulling forever.

Many of the artists that are great at what they do

are great at what they do for that very reason.

They fall in love with this thing,

and then they just want to know everything

they could possibly learn about it.

The more I started to understand,

the more I saw that, you know, everyone had their own voice.

And as I got older, I started wondering more and more,

you know, what my version of the game might sound like.

Good evening, everybody,

and welcome to Chase Center!

For tonight's matchup featuring the visiting Sacramento Kings

versus your Golden State Warriors!

- Come on! - Aah!

Whoo!

Here we go.

Thank you for this day. Thank you for bringing us here.

We ask you bless our performance tonight.

Keep us safe, free from injury.

Play the best to our ability. Do it together and have fun.

Keep building. Tonight we pray.

- Amen. - Amen.

Come on, fellas, from the jump.

Let's go. Just us, one, two, three.

Just us!

Let's go!

♪ O say can you see ♪

♪ By the dawn's early light ♪

♪ What so proudly... ♪

♪ ...of the free ♪

♪ And the home of the brave ♪

Thank you.

You tell yourself it's just another game.

But when you're standing on the edge

of something this big,

you definitely feel the weight of it.

Playing his first NBA season

out of Boston College.

Number 21. Quentin Po-Po-Po-Post!

Playing in his 13th year. From Michigan State.

Yes, sir!

Number 23. Draymond Green!

Playing his 14th year.

From Tomball, Texas.

Number 10.

Jimmy But-But-But-Butler III.

And now, in his 16th NBA season, out of Davidson!

Number 30, Stephen Curry!

When everything starts to build, you know,

the noise, the weight of the moment,

I just try and stay present, stay grounded,

and, you know, trust the thing

that got me here in the first place.

We all admire artists.

They seem to dance or paint

or play the piano so effortlessly.

Of course a lot of work has gone into it.

I think there's a mythology...

...that the people who make things that we love

are special people.

We think that they're these magic people on Mount Olympus

who are geniuses, and then there's the rest of us.

And that's not the case.

There's clearly this thing

called talent.

It's the magic dust.

I think a lot of what we call talent

is the desire to persist.

It's that you love something so much

you want to do a lot of it.

If you are a great artist,

your so-called periods of practice,

when you sit for hours and study your technique,

you will not do that effectively unless it is a pleasure for you.

You have to come to the point

where going over it again and again...

...is a dance.

Straight out the game, boy! Let's get another win up!

17 games to go after tonight

and everything is tightly packed in there.

Absolutely. You're fighting for every spot

because Sacramento more than likely

is gonna end up in the play-in.

But every spot you move up there gives you a better chance

to advance.

And Golden State fighting like heck

to get into those top six.

Opening tip controlled by Golden State.

Draymond Green with a pass over to Steph Curry.

Curry minus-two threes from 4,000.

Here's Draymond Green.

Takes Valanciunas down low.

Throws it back up to Butler.

Butler off of Curry's screen...

Three, two, boom!

Boom!

Square! Square!

JONAS Valanciunas: Shot!

Yeah, go, get QP.

All right, Steph!

Go back. Go back. That's it. That's it.

Butler fakes a three. Draymond from the corner.

Boom!

That's a pretty good way to start the game.

Every game you play is a chance to make something new.

But each one has its own challenges.

Go, go, go.

Do you see how they're playing Curry?

Yeah.

Keegan Murray is just staying glued to Steph Curry.

Are there Curry rules?

Well, there are for some teams for sure.

And there certainly is tonight.

Some days it comes easy.

Most days it doesn't.

Come on!

And you can figure out pretty quickly

what kind of night it's gonna be.

Curry being top-blocked by Murray.

And Draymond drives

and draws a foul.

Top-blocking, in essence,

is just kind of taking a defender

and putting him on top of the guy

instead of your natural position.

So it's harder for him to get those threes off.

You got to fight for every inch out there.

And that fight always starts with yourself.

Most days it's not exciting.

You know, it's quiet, repetitive.

Sometimes boring.

Frustrating.

You know, it's hours, days, years in the gym.

Running the same read.

Constantly drilling movement.

That's kind of like a dance, you know.

There's a rhythm to it.

You drill the timing.

You feel out the space.

You tweak one step just to maybe get a clean look.

Hey!

Stephen Curry!

See what I'm saying?

I'm gonna tell you to just move up the floor

'cause they're crazy top-blocked.

I ain't ever seen it.

Great job, Dray. Way to go, Jimmy.

Good stuff, Mo.

Every time they score, Murray is all over Steph.

So one of you guys, give Steph a screen without the ball.

Be ready for this, all this junk they're throwing.

They're just top-blocking Steph everywhere.

Wouldn't surprise me if they play zone.

Nothing's ever come easy.

People see the shots fall.

But they don't see the work it took to get there.

Come on, Steph.

I've been blessed to have my dad

kind of lead the way.

And I felt I had this God-given opportunity.

But that only takes you so far.

You know, nobody's born with great technique.

My so-called natural shot was trash.

Had to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.

Quicker, higher release.

But the whole process was brutal.

Three months of missing everything.

It kind of felt like a punishment.

And one, two, go.

It was so bad

that I almost quit the game altogether.

Uh, but my mom kept me

steady through that.

That's it! That's it! Unh!

Defense! Hustle!

She had been there

before as an athlete.

She knew what it took and she made sure

I found that in myself.

Stephen Curry this year has put a stamp

on this team. This is his team.

Over the summer, he's worked on his game tremendously.

When it finally clicked

and I saw all that work paying off...

that's when I began to understand

what the process is.

Come on, defense! Let's go, baby!

You're good! You're good! Flip it!

But you have to be patient.

Come up for it!

17-6.

Valanciunas handoff DeRozan.

DeRozan rotates up top. Keon Ellis on the floor.

- Bad pass Ellis. - Yikes.

It goes out of bounds.

And turnover on Sacramento.

At some point you realize the real growth

isn't just putting in the time.

It's how that work starts forming who you are out there.

Curry handling. Flipped it to Draymond.

Back cut Kuminga. Down the lane over Valanciunas.

No good, as Valanciunas defended it well.

Outlet to the frontcourt to Ellis.

Throws it back to LaVine.

Stepback off the dribble. Jumper good...

Shoot that.

Let's go. Hey!

DeRozan at midcourt.

Driving on Moody. Pass blocked by Moody.

Taken by Kuminga.

And when you're trying to find your identity

out there...

there's always people trying to tell you what you're not.

Stephen Curry!

When it was time to make that jump,

you know, the bigger schools already had their minds made up.

"He's too small."

"Can't defend."

"You know, won't hold up against bigger guys."

But then, one school saw something in me.

Davidson gave me a shot.

Told me they'd take me just as I am.

And I decided right then I was gonna double down on the work.

You know, trust the process.

And become the best version of myself possible.

Looks like a young pup.

Looks just like he could be still playing in high school.

And as we said,

he played his high school ball nearby.

Curry!

I was in the gym every day

just putting the work in.

Lifting, shooting, studying,

getting stronger, sharper, more locked in.

Really starting to hone my craft.

He's only a freshman, so you know

he's gonna be in the weight room in the offseason.

A couple years down the road, he's gonna be something.

I started to experiment with the game.

Test the limits of what I could do.

I wanted to know every angle, every cut,

every inch of space that mattered.

No stone left unturned.

Just really starting to hone my craft and, you know,

fall in love with the grind.

The idea is to work hard.

Do the 10,000 hours.

I mean like actually working hard.

You have to love the pain of not having everything so easy.

Anyone's name that you can reference--

Warhol, Lagerfeld, Jobs--

the reason why those one-word names

reference a whole body of work

is that they tirelessly dedicated their life

to that work.

Ohh!

Everybody might think this is Dell Curry,

great NBA star, and his lovely wife Sonya.

This isn't.

Tonight, this is Stephen's dad and Stephen's mom.

America had heard about him,

and now we know about him.

Stephen Curry leads Davidson into the second round.

It's really the obsession with the small stuff.

You know, where your hand is when you come off the catch.

Finding your defender to create separation.

Keep your balance as you shift your weight.

Square up your shoulders to the basket.

Roll the ball off your fingers

for that perfect release and that perfect arc.

You do it every day.

Hundreds of thousands of reps.

Over and over and over.

Until it's automatic.

I stopped looking for a lane...

...and started building my own.

3,999 threes!

One more to 4,000.

Dribble.

Down low, Steph. A lot of traffic.

Payton aims, fires. Got it.

23-9.

Warriors in control here early.

Handoff to Murray. Murray Euro-steps in.

Ball stripped. Gets it back.

Over to DeRozan. Baseline drive.

Pass inside Valanciunas.

Layup good.

Curry takes the pass.

Spins away from Murray. Sees Ellis...

I earned my spot.

You know, put in the work and proved

I could hold my own against anybody.

But when the stage gets bigger...

you know, those lights definitely get hotter.

The Golden State Warriors select...

Stephen Curry from Davidson College.

Being drafted is the dream, man.

But you realize real quick how big this thing is.

Is he gonna be strong enough

against NBA defenders

over the course of an 82-game schedule

to get the ball in the operational area?

Is he gonna understand time, score, and situations?

In college, you know, it's family in the stands.

In the league, it's millions of eyes.

And every move you make gets put under a microscope.

♪ Hit me hard ♪

You had Steph,

who's a spectacular shooter, but not a true point.

He didn't play point guard

until he was a junior.

As a sophomore, he was the off guard.

And he's trying to find his way in the NBA.

Everything's on tape.

Everything gets analyzed.

And everyone's got an opinion.

Any artist can't expect to be embraced.

You just keep doing your work because you have to.

Because it's your calling.

...jumper. Good!

Kick out Curry. Another three... good!

It's easy to get distracted by everything

that comes with the spotlight.

And throw the lob!

You know, you just have to continue to trust the process

and stick to the vision.

Curry. A teardrop!

What a shot!

Be concerned with doing good work

and make the right choices.

And if you build a good name,

that name will be its own currency.

- Curry with a three. - Stephen Curry.

Curry! A career high!

Curry takes the pass.

Spins away from Murray. Sees Ellis.

Right up on him on the left wing.

I've learned to appreciate the stage.

The tension, the noise,

it all means you've done something right.

But this journey always finds new ways to test you.

The crowd was starting to rise to their feet.

They want to be part of a celebration.

LaRavia now is the one top-blocking Curry,

not even looking for any sort of help.

Up top, Hield, dribbles down with three,

with two, takes a contested two.

It's a back rim miss and Looney, the rebound.

Time-out to be charged to Golden State.

2:40 to go in the first quarter.

25-13, Warriors on top.

Need to get to that counter.

No, no, no. It's...

Steph, Steph, Steph!

No, we're good.

It's not gonna be with this group

'cause they're gonna switch their whole defense.

But if we get stalled,

it's always gonna be me over here.

A top-block. This whole space

- is gonna be open. - Backdoor.

As long as we can get the ball right here,

we're proper spacing.

That's only if we get stuck.

That's a get-out-of-jail card.

We gotta just play basketball though.

But just know, I'm always trying to set him up

'cause he's all the way on the top side.

This whole space is wide open.

Drop down. No.

That's a-- We got to run though...

We're good.

Whoever gets it

is gonna be our winner for two tickets...

Welcome back, JK.

I know I'm ready. Fans, let's cheer 'em on.

That's not even a play. It's not even a play.

It's just hittin' the ball on one side.

I'm in the other corner

and as long as we have somebody on that wing,

- I got the whole... - Yeah.

They're not even considering the basketball.

Hey, we're trying to run that little flip...

we're trying to run the flip play

to get Monk and LaVine back to their right hands. Right?

So, we're shading them this way. They kick it.

They're walking down. They're coming and setting it.

Now they get back to their right hand, right?

We can switch it. All right?

You guys feel that?

You got some heat?

This game is gonna test you.

Physically and mentally,

your body starts feeling things it used to shake off.

Little stuff that lingers.

Things that used to take a day, now it's a week.

Ankle, knees, back, shoulders.

You know, it all adds up.

You start kind of questioning the tools that got you here.

You know, can I still move the same?

React the same?

How much more time is my body gonna give me?

Steph Curry is still out of the game.

We saw him holding his back moments ago.

It messes with your mind.

You want a pad?

Yeah.

I know the language of the artist.

And the language of the artist is,

someone's gonna find me out.

I may not be as great as people think I am.

The craft part is actually the easy part.

The thing that can be challenging

is navigating that internal critic,

not being good enough, being on the brink of failure,

dissatisfaction and frustration and doubt.

It's the imposter syndrome.

It's the blessings that you can't really accept fully.

And the worst part is the--

the loneliness that comes with that.

You know, the responsibility that you have...

is isolating.

Steph is hurt.

Steph Curry is hurt.

He went straight down and never moved.

Oh, man.

At first it just feels like bad luck.

A slip here, a mistake there.

You try and pull yourself together, fight through.

But it keeps happening.

Spraining and re-spraining

that right ankle again.

Curry behind his back

and he's pulled to the ground.

- Oh, no. - Holy...

Just kind of getting fed up with having to deal with

the same thing over and over again.

My main goal right now is just try to get healthy,

and what that means, I'm not sure yet.

I'm sure we'll have a better idea

of what we're gonna do going forward.

And then one day, it's not just a setback, it's a full stop.

- ...off his leg and... - Oh, my goodness.

- Steph Curry hurt himself again. - Steph Curry turned his ankle.

Steph Curry sprained his ankle

five different times this year.

Should Golden State be worried about

what Curry's going through?

Yes.

You're stuck watching from the outside,

trying to figure out where you fit in the picture.

Then out of nowhere, the whole picture shifts.

Well, the Monta Ellis era

in Oakland is over.

A lot of Warrior fans walking around

with a bewildered look on their face after that one.

Moving Ellis means

this is Stephen Curry's team to run.

You want to rise to the moment,

and you want to prove people right.

But inside, that doubt is louder than ever.

Your mind starts going to some dark places, man.

What if I'm not strong enough, big enough, good enough?

You know, what if this isn't what I was meant to be?

You know, that's when you lean on the people closest to you.

The ones who have been there since the start.

The ones in your corner every day.

Remember why you're here,

why you started in the first place.

And have faith that you're only given the setbacks

you were built to handle.

Steph Curry, who missed extensive time,

40 games last year,

finalized that extension with the team.

The deal is for four years

and $44 million.

Dub Nation, let 'em hear you.

Warriors!

Even with all the doubts around my health,

that contract showed the team believed in me.

And I wanted to show that I believed in them, too.

- Boom! - Boom!

And not just with the rehab, but how I carried myself.

You know, how I showed up for the team.

Yeah, Mo!

I was gonna prove to the owners, the fans, my teammates.

- Hey, get in there. - Go, Steph.

And most importantly, myself,

that this is what I was meant to do.

When Curry began his career,

there were a lot of questions about his health.

He was having, and he eventually had,

four surgeries on each ankle.

Yeah, no question. His health. His size.

He was not a "can't miss" prospect.

So, give the Warriors credit.

Jarrett Jack, what a pass!

Putting it up and in!

You know, you go to those dark places, but...

those are the moments that build you.

And when you push through the doubt,

stay true to your vision,

you come out the other side stronger.

Behind you. Get there.

Pieces start falling into place.

And, you know, people you weren't expecting

show up right when they're supposed to.

So they're top-blocking everything.

I can go rifle.

I think we go angle small next time.

Rifle.

Let's have you handle,

- and then we'll put... - QP?

You want to put QP or Jimmy in that strong side corner?

Jimmy's gotta handle. Draymond on the weak side.

I'll go corner and Jimmy handle.

I know, but if Valanciunas is on you, I'd like you to handle.

Find your community.

Find the people to work with that are gonna let you thrive.

That are gonna allow you to express yourself creatively.

That trust you, and trust that you're doing

the right thing for them.

When Coach Kerr came in,

there was a trust from day one.

You know, we were aligned in how we saw the game.

I want to thank all of you for coming.

It's a special day for the Warriors,

the day we announce Steve Kerr as the head coach.

He had forged his own path,

established his own style,

and came in with nothing but support.

There's some wonderful players on this roster

who are committed to each other

and committed to the organization,

and I'm excited to become a part of that.

Right next to Gui, go back to Gui.

Gui, Gui, Gui! Gui!

Sub, sub, sub!

You know, we share the same vision,

and he helped bring the best out of me.

Curry splits the defense. Behind the back!

Fires a three! He puts it in!

There's nothing more valuable than, you know,

having someone encourage you to be yourself...

and has your back when things get tough.

No, no. Offensive.

No! Are you kidding me?

He's not allowed to hold him, Josh.

No. Dray ran right up his back.

He's standing right there.

I didn't call it on-- I couldn't call it on Steph.

Dray runs right up his back.

I know, but he's holding Steph the whole time.

- Let's go. Okay, all right. - All right.

When everybody starts seeing it the same way,

that's when it becomes more like a collaboration.

Steph Curry's actually at his most dangerous

when he gives the ball up.

You see it here. Steph Curry's screen.

The threes show up on the stats sheet,

but he does a lot of things

that will never show up on the stats.

You're bouncing ideas off each other in real time.

You know, reads, rhythm, tempo.

You know, if basketball were music, it would be jazz.

There's a five-person beat and harmony,

but there's individual brilliance that emerges

that's often not choreographed.

Unless there's a complete understanding

between trumpets, trombones,

and saxophones and the rhythm section,

you just have 15 guys playing music.

Everyone must have the same emotional feeling

about what they're playing.

The best teams are the ones

that really recognize who they are,

find their style, their identity,

and then they have their own kind of lead artist,

pushing the boundaries of what your team can be

and how it sort of evolves from that lead guy.

At five, Curry for the lead.

Good!

First player in 55 years

as a Warrior to win the MVP.

When you trust the people around you

and you have faith in yourself,

all that doubt starts to fade, and you just...

play.

There is a principle called Wu Wei.

Wu Wei is the principle of not forcing

in anything that you do.

When we watch any performance of an artist,

be it a dancer or a musician,

we know immediately when the performance is forced.

And we say it doesn't ring true, it's too artificial,

it doesn't seem to be natural.

Shakespeare knew perfectly well,

"there is a tide in the affairs of men which,

taken at its flood, leads on to fortune."

And so Wu Wei is based on knowledge of the tide,

the drift of things, get with it.

Wu Wei is the art of sailing rather than the art of rowing.

28 years old, and he is well on his way

to becoming the Bay Area's most popular athlete ever.

You know, when you are playing music,

and it just... there's no thoughts.

You are just being, and everything is right.

You know that feeling.

I think all musicians know that feeling.

That's why we want to make music,

because that's the best feeling in the world.

It feels like you're floating.

Everything kind of disappears.

Noise gets muffled.

Your vision gets narrow.

But the thing is, you can't force it.

You can't chase it.

Hey!

The harder you try to grab ahold of it,

the more it kind of slips away.

And here's Curry. He's hit one three

and he's one away from 4,000.

Here it is. Curry! No.

Rebound. Fought for. Deflected.

Monk. Downcourt.

Ellis is there.

And he slams it in. Time-out Golden State.

59-39. 20-point lead for the Dubs.

They're just playing a nasty game.

So, we like, don't worry about me

'cause it's gonna open up in transition or something.

You're gonna make your f------ three.

No, no, no. I'm not worried about--

I'm talking about-- just the idea that...

I'm going to dribble this b---- at you every play...

until you move and get the ball.

All right, bet.

All right, bet it. I got 2:40 to get one in.

Square! Square! Square! Square!

DeMar DeRozan dribbles right side.

Rotates over to Monk.

Run off the line by Curry. Up top to Ellis.

He'll take a three and nailed it above the break left side.

And the Warriors had better be careful.

20-point leads aren't what they used to be.

No, not with the threes.

Curry doubled. To Post.

Out to Draymond. Bounce pass through traffic.

And it hit Ellis in the leg. He picks it up.

Take him! Take him!

The play had zero chance of getting through.

Square! Square! Square! Go!

And the Warriors have their lead down to 12.

It was 23 at one point.

And they were rolling.

They kind of lost some momentum here.

15-4 Sacramento run.

Final 48 seconds in the half.

Butler to Curry. Throws a bad pass in traffic.

Off his hand, Monk the steal...

Two seconds. One second.

Post fires it from backcourt. On the way!

It's off the glass.

The 23-point lead is down to 10.

61-51.

A 17-4 Kings push to end the half right here.

Waiting for Curry to see if he can get to 4,000 threes tonight.

Curry, Curry, Curry!

When you're standing at the edge of something

that could stand the test of time,

you know, everyone's here hoping to see it happen.

Sometimes barriers come up.

Obstacles that you might not be able to overcome

in that particular moment.

And you have to sit with the reality

that you might not be able to do it.

Here we go, fellas. Lock back in.

We're gonna go angle small. All right?

I want Jimmy to handle.

Swing to Dray and then you guys exchange.

So, Moses will be here.

Jimmy, you'll be on the baseline.

And we're setting the angle small for Dray.

You got rifle action if you want it, Dray.

- Come on, just us. - Here we go, fellas.

- Come on. - Get a stop.

Here we go, here we go.

Game on here in San Francisco.

The Warriors kind of let their foot off the gas,

and Kings are right back in this thing.

Murray continues to top-block Curry.

Pass in traffic.

Moody somehow gets it.

Knocked away.

It'll be a shot clock violation...

Swing! Swing!

Posting up LaVine.

Draws a crowd. Finds Curry. Over to Moody.

He's wide open above the break right side swing.

Moses Moody!

- Hey, man! - 74-67.

Warriors up seven.

Here goes Moody. Dribble drive.

On the way.

Got pushed by Monk.

Hey. Square, square, square!

DeRozan spinning on Curry at the foul line.

Turns and shoots. The shot's up. It's good.

And a foul on Steph Curry.

Landing on the foot, Steph.

Thirty. Thirty.

That shouldn't be a foul on Steph at all.

Really shouldn't. No.

He jumped forward.

I didn't even come into his landing.

I'm going this way.

What did he do, Josh? He kicked his foot out.

The only reason he stepped on him

is 'cause he kicked his foot out.

- Help him. - Nothing there.

Steph's getting held every play, and there's not a single call,

and you're gonna call that?

I agree on a physical game, but he kicks his foot out.

There's nothing.

LaVine knocks it in.

And it's a six-point game in San Francisco.

That's not open deny.

Open deny is here,

and we dribble at, and we go there, right?

We can't execute open deny on the fly.

When you're wrapped up in outcomes,

you start overthinking.

Worrying about the makes, the misses, how it all adds up.

That's when the game starts to feel heavy.

You second guess, hesitate.

Lose the rhythm that got you here in the first place.

Sometimes you just need to make a conscious decision.

You gotta lock back in. All right? Here we go.

Stop forcing it, stop chasing it,

stop trying to control it.

Here we go!

Square! Square! Square!

You know, trust yourself.

Trust the hours.

And, you know, just get out there

and do what you love doing.

Hey, come on. Gotta give me the ball.

If you don't live it,

and it's not a part of you,

it's not gonna come out of the instrument.

What we play is life.

What we create is life.

It's channeled to you for everyone in that moment

never to happen again.

The Golden State Warriors are the 2015 NBA Champions,

their first title in 40 years.

When you finally start to slip into that flow state,

it's just movement, instinct, creativity.

Always go a little further into the water

than you feel you're capable of being in.

Go a little bit out of your depth,

and when you don't feel that your feet

are quite touching the bottom...

you're just about in the right place

to do something exciting.

402 three-pointers, record.

...by becoming the first unanimous winner

of the Kia NBA MVP Award.

When the whole group is moving as one,

it becomes bigger than yourself.

No matter what adversity,

no matter what you've gone through,

when you're in your element, fully in that moment,

dance and just vibe to the record like you feel free.

The Warriors are NBA Champions again.

Got by Rivers. Good if it goes.

The Golden State Warriors champions once again.

Back-to-back titles, three in four years.

And the latest with a sweep.

Your body just kind of takes over,

moving quicker than your mind.

You stop thinking and the game starts to just fall into place.

I'll tell you what freedom is to me.

No fear.

I've had a couple of times on stage when I really felt free.

And that's something else.

That's really something else!

For the win! Yes, sir!

Their fourth title in eight years.

The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

You stop trying to force things.

And, you know, just surrender to the moment.

You know, trust everything that got you here.

Come on, make it-- you gotta make your first shot.

Stephen Curry!

You just let the craft take over.

The instincts, the rhythm, the feel.

The Golden State Warriors select...

Stephen Curry from Davidson College.

All those years shaping the thing you love...

shows up in that one shot.

There it is!

Number 4,000!

A shot for the ages from a player for the ages.

Truly the portrait of an artist.

Unbelievable.

And on an night where he's not a hundred percent,

the standing ovation here.

They are not gonna stop the game,

but 4,000 threes by Curry.

Unimaginable not too long ago, but here he's achieved it.

One day shy of his 37th birthday.

Put in Kuminga...

Dub Nation!

With the last three-pointer by Stephen Curry,

he becomes the only player in NBA history

to have reached 4,000 career three-pointers!

By reaching this milestone, Curry increases his margin

on the all-time three-pointers main leaderboard

by nearly 900 three-pointers!

- Way to go, Steph. - Chase Center,

make some noise and congratulate number 30,

Stephen Curry!

Hey, Steph, what's going on? It's Andris.

Just wanted to say congratulations

on reaching 4,000 career threes.

Just in case you forgot, I assisted you

on your first career three in 2009 in Phoenix.

I don't think anyone really starts out,

you know, thinking about legacy.

On the verge of crossing 4,000 three-pointers.

It's just a testament to who he is, his hard work,

the type of person he is.

Milestones are reminders of the blessings,

but, you know, they're not the whole story.

...already saw in my life.

One of the great artists ever

in the history of mankind,

and we're blessed to be able to watch you.

Let's blitz! They set the screen with you.

Each one is just kind of like a snapshot.

And as you get closer to the end than the beginning,

you start to wonder what they all add up to mean.

It's an interesting question

for any artist to ask themselves.

I've been asking this question pretty much continuously

since I was 17 years old...

"Why am I doing this?

And what difference does it make to the world?"

So you're gonna be on either LaVine or Monk,

whoever's out there.

They'll probably set it with him.

So let's blitz. Everybody be ready to rotate.

You got it, Loon?

We're blitzing with Steph and that's one with, uh...

- Congratulations, my brother. - Appreciate you, brother.

- Yes, sir. - ...DeMar when they try

to bring him in to him.

- Yes, sir. Let's get it. - Just us. One, two, three!

Yes, sir.

No, I'm Ellis.

- Good job. - Appreciate you, dawg. Yes, sir.

And I know what Steph's thinking right now.

"Hey, let's get this win, then we can celebrate."

Nothing worse than getting a milestone in a loss.

At first, it's just a thing you do.

You know, something you love, trying to get better at it.

But after a while, you start to see how...

doing what you do has an effect on people.

Oh, Kuminga!

Muscling in and throwing it down.

You start to realize it's more than just

the scoreboard, the records.

You know, there's something deeper to it.

He does have pedestrian numbers tonight,

on this historic night, where he goes by 4,000 threes.

Kuminga got it! And it is turning into...

It becomes something

that you all get to share together.

Artists, you see life different, right?

That's why you came into this profession.

The gift.

To be healers.

To be alchemists.

To buck the system.

Because your purpose is not what you do.

It's what happens to people when you do what you do.

Square! Square! Square!

Oh, yeah!

Oh! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

You know, it's like a deep connection

between you and the fans, you and the city.

They give you everything they've got,

and all you can do is try to give something back.

Taps it out to Kuminga.

Curry, the other way.

Curry tonight, 11 points, 2 of 5 from three.

Another one right here.

Rebound Moody, pushed, shot.

Rebound Monk. Three and a half to go.

LaVine-- Stolen by Curry!

And he'll take it.

A lot of white jerseys around him.

DeRozan deflects it out of bounds.

I think we've probably gonna--

seen the last of Steph Curry here.

As you said, his back's been bothering him.

And now,

walking slowly over to the bench...

Mr. 4,000, Stephen Curry.

- Congratulations, Steph. - Appreciate it, Coach.

Way to go, Moses. Great night again.

I thought you'd have six steals today.

All right, d---.

You gotta let me play defense. I'm trying to be like you.

Welcome back.

Yeah!

Thank you. Thank you.

Appreciate you, man. It's frickin' crazy.

- Frickin' crazy. - Show me something too!

4,000 blicks.

4,000 blickies, Steve.

Curl pin.

Four thousand blickies, Steve.

- Speaking of a blicky! - Bow, bow, bow!

- There's a blicky! - Bow, bow, bow!

And McDermott will throw it in.

Fultz doesn't even attempt the shot.

And that's it. Buzzer sounds.

Final score, 130-104.

The Warriors get the win over Sacramento.

Stephen Curry gets to the 4,000 three-point plateau

on the same night where Steve Kerr gets win number 557.

- Congrats again, brother. - Thank you, brother.

S---, every day is congrats.

It's a special milestone. Appreciate you, dawg.

Well, Steph, I know there was a lot of anticipation

the last couple days leading up to this moment.

But what was it like when you finally saw it go through?

It was a special moment, obviously, to do it at home.

Uh, the--

The 2974 record in New York was great,

because it was an unbelievable environment at Madison Square,

but to do it in front of my home fans,

and, uh, you know...

It was a weird game because I didn't get many attempts up,

but to finally get it in the third.

I felt the energy, it was special.

Have you thought about 5,000 yet?

I'm in the moment.

I'm blessed to keep doing this thing.

2974 felt like an eternity ago.

So to be now here with this fresh milestone is pretty cool.

Who knows? I never limit God

or never limit the blessings of my life, that--

I'm gonna stay in the present right now.

Thanks for your time and happy early birthday.

Thank you very much.

Big night for Steph Curry.

History and the ball in his grasp.

4,000 made threes.

This guy's career has been-- He changed the NBA.

He's really changed the NBA

and led to this three-point revolution.

Stephen Curry has taken shooting

and the art form of it to a different level.

I have a nine-year-old and I go to all these games.

The first thing they do is start hoisting up threes

to try and be like their hero, Stephen Curry.

You got teams shooting 50, 60, 70 threes.

Multiple players shooting from five feet beyond the arc.

Whole generation of players, young people,

are watching Steph and emulating his every move.

But it's not just that he is making these incredible shots.

It's the way he moves people.

He has an incredible ability to connect with people...

because they see his humanity, his kindness,

and his compassion in this package

that happens to include the greatest skill in basketball

that anyone has ever known.

That's pretty special,

and people recognize that all the time about him.

It's never just been about numbers for me.

It's always just been the thing I love to do.

You know, you hope to be able to push the game forward,

leave something behind that makes an impression.

So, to see I've had a small hand in that,

it's a huge honor, and it's not something I take lightly.

- Hold that for me. - I will.

Hold that for me.

I will.

I'm coming back to take a shot in a minute.

Okay, Boo.

Hi!

That's beautiful, congratulations.

Hit it on the number, man.

It was a really cool milestone.

See how far we can push this thing,

but it definitely is special.

Was there a little anxiety

to try to get him that 4,000th,

and what was it like when it happened?

You see that last turnover I had in the second quarter?

A lot of anxiety.

Yeah!

But it couldn't have happened to a better person.

Just what he's done for the NBA and the league as a whole.

Happy to be here to see it, be a small part of it,

uh, but more importantly

just witness greatness on a nightly basis.

Yes, sir.

Happy birthday!

Bow!

Bow-bow-bow-bow-bow!

That's cold as h---.

Whoo! I don't need a cold tub now.

- Congrats, Steph. - Yes, sir.

Appreciate y'all, man.

- Just us! One, two, three! - Just us!

- Congratulations. - You too. Thank you, Coach.

- Oh, yeah, yeah. - Hold! Yo, did y'all know?

- Oh, no, no, no. - Did y'all know?

Coach Kerr now has the most wins in Warrior history.

Where's the game ball?

Where's the game ball? Where's the game ball?

Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm right here.

Congratulations.

Now that we've reached 4,000,

if he can stay healthy, how far can he take this?

8,000?

Yeah, who knows? Who knows?

- Curry. - Ohh!

It just seems like it was not too long ago

that he broke the record,

and he just keeps going the way he, uh, keeps himself in shape

and conditioned, um, in rhythm, he's gonna, you know...

He's going to make another thousand for sure.

I mean, that's what I would guess, but who knows?

Hey, cheers, man, cheers.

Yes, cheers to 4,000. I appreciate y'all.

- 4K. - I know.

This is probably the cleanest milestone.

I ain't going to be around for five, but...

Don't say that, man.

Each one, yeah, each one we're gonna enjoy...

past this, see how far I can push it,

but 4K sounds real nice. So I appreciate you.

Thank you.

Big milestone tonight.

I'm just curious, do you celebrate at all?

Do you hit the golf course tomorrow or anything like that?

No, we got practice.

I'll enjoy some time with the family,

come in, get our work in...

Played golf earlier in the week,

so that was the birthday round and--

and then a nice little shot of Gentlemen's Cut tonight.

That's about it.

All right, I'll be back. I gotta go lift.

Steve Kerr joked that 8,000 is,

you know, not too far off...

I don't think he wants to coach that long,

so don't put that pressure on me.

- Okay. Thank you. - 'Cause I like a challenge.

Tonight, Steve ties the franchise record for...

If the only reason why people were driven to create

was because of some specific goal...

...it kind of ignores the whole point

of where this thing comes from.

That instinct and that drive to make something never goes away.

I look at my whole career,

and luckily I've done a lot.

But I still want to outdo "Yesterday" myself, certainly.

I'm still looking to write my best song.

The art journey never ends.

There is no retirement.

As long as you have a heartbeat, the beat goes on

because it keeps beating.

You hit these milestones along the way.

You know, you take time to appreciate the moment...

...and then it's right back to work.

You know, there's something in me

that keeps pushing forward.

You don't do it for the big moments.

It's always just the love of the craft,

love of the game.

But truthfully...

5,000 sounds pretty nice, too.
