Stephen Curry Becomes The NBA Single Season 3 Point Leader.

On the final day (April 17) of the regular season, Curry broke the NBA record for three pointers made in a single regular season. Curry finished the 2012-13 NBA season with 272 made three pointers, three more than previous record holder Ray Allen.

What makes this record even more special is Curry’s contribution to the Nothing But Nets awareness campaign. For each time Curry hit a three-pointer, he pledged to donate three life-saving bed nets. Curry is the kind of Nothing But Nets Champion who inspires us all to do more.

Stephen Curry’s Three-for-Three Challenge:

The Golden State Warriors‘ Curry has supported the campaign since his days at Davidson College. Stephen is so dedicated to protecting families from malaria that he has pledged to send three life-saving bed nets for every three-point shot he makes during the ’12-’13 season. That’s hundreds of three-pointers this season, and hundreds of bed nets to keep families in Africa safe! Steph Curry is committed to the fight against malaria.
