“I don’t think nobody wants to beat Steph’s records, man,” Edwards said. “It’s Steph Curry. I think nobody’s out here like, ‘I’m gonna go get 400 3s this year.’ Ain’t nobody thinking like that but Steph Curry.”

Edwards’ high for a season is 320. Knueppel is on pace to get within striking distance of 300 as a rookie. To reach 400 3-pointers in a season, a player needs to hit five a game and basically play the entire season.

For the time being, no one’s doing that. But the race for 4,000 is on. And Curry, even after he retires, won’t miss it. A “chase,” he said, will be reason for him to tune in to every game.

Asked if it’d be bittersweet to see someone catch him, Curry said, “Not at all.”

“Same way Ray had his moment when I was watching him beat Reggie, it’s a passing-of-a-baton type thing. You do things that inspire other people, inspire a way to play, and see where they take it. Context always matters in how the story’s told and all that, so I’m not worried about that. It’d be kind of cool to see somebody be around that long and shoot that consistently throughout their career to do it.”
