NBA - Warriors, Steph Curry toward 500 triples in playoff history

Stephen Curry has already made more 3-point shots than any player in NBA history in the regular season (3,117), All-Star Game (47) and NBA Playoffs (494). In fact, the only 3-point ranking in existence in which Curry does not own the top spot is the preseason (176), where he ranks fifth.

After Game 1 of the Western Conference playoff semifinals at home to the Memphis Grizzlies on May 1, Curry needs only 6 triples to become the first player to reach 500 triples in the NBA Playoffs. During the regular season, Curry averaged 5.7 3-pointers made in three games against Memphis, and he didn't waste that average last night.

However, he is not the only player looking to move up in the standings this post-season. Klay Thompson needs just one triple (399) to become the third player to reach 400 in his playoff career, joining teammate Curry and LeBron James (432).
