Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry had 103 of his 105 successful 3-pointers captured on video by the team.
NBA star Steph Curry scored 105 consecutive 3-pointers to end practice leading to Golden State’s game in Chicago on Sunday.
The Warriors said they captured the last 103 on video at the Bulls’ practice facility.
Curry’s shots were counted by his longtime shooter, assistant Bruce Fraser.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr only learned of his shooting star later. Curry, 32, finally failed, then waved his arms and screamed with joy.

“I think his previous record was 77. That’s crazy,” Kerr said. “I don’t know if the Guinness Book of World Records still exists.
“That was one of my favorite books growing up. If it still exists, it should go in the book, because apparently we now have video evidence. ”
Two-time MVP Curry, who is just beginning his twelfth NBA season, clearly still possesses the skills to dazzle and amaze fans and foes alike.
With his next 3, Curry will have 2,500 for his career, joining only Ray Allen and Reggie Miller to reach that mark.
“It was SO amazing: 105 3-pointers in a row. I knew it could be special around 30. Just amazing, ” Fraser said via text message.
He also added: “There was nothing I missed about. In fact, he was more focused on making good passes. I was nervous! Haha. Yes, a lot of clicks. ”
Draymond Green did not witness the full downpour, but he was confident in Curry’s account.
“I have no doubt that he did. I don’t need to watch a video to see how they got in, nothing like that, ” Green said.
“As I’ve always said, obviously the best shooter I think that has ever played this game.”
Kerr said Curry set a record and kept shooting.
“So he choked and couldn’t get to 106,” Kerr joked.
“I guess he just didn’t have it in him. It is very disappointing. I guarantee you it didn’t stop. If you’ve done 105 in a row, keep going. I’m pretty sure he failed and he just wasn’t up to the challenge. ”
