He is a four-time [[List of NBA champions|NBA champion]], a two-time [[NBA Most Valuable Player]] (MVP), an [[NBA Finals Most Valuable Player|NBA Finals MVP]], and a two-time [[NBA All-Star Game Kobe Bryant Most Valuable Player|NBA All-Star Game MVP]].

Curry played [[college basketball|collegiately]] for the [[Davidson Wildcats men's basketball|Davidson Wildcats]], where he was named [[Southern Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year|Conference Player of the Year]] twice. He set the [[List of NCAA Division I men's basketball season 3-point field goal leaders|NCAA single-season record for three-pointers made]] (162) as a sophomore and led the [[List of NCAA Division I men's basketball season scoring leaders|NCAA Division I in scoring]] during his junior year. Curry was selected by the Warriors as the seventh overall pick in the [[2009 NBA draft]].

In [[2014–15 NBA season|2014–15]], Curry won his first league MVP award and led the Warriors to their [[2015 NBA Finals|first championship]] since 1975. The following [[2015–16 NBA season|season]], he became the first player to be unanimously voted MVP and [[NBA annual scoring leader|led the league in scoring]] while shooting above [[50–40–90 club|50–40–90]]. That same year, the Warriors broke the record for [[List of NBA teams by single season win percentage|most wins in a regular season]] (73) en route to the [[2016 NBA Finals]], where they [[List of teams that have overcome 3–1 series deficits#National Basketball Association|squandered a 3–1 series lead]] to the [[2015–16 Cleveland Cavaliers season|Cleveland Cavaliers]], ultimately losing in [[game seven|Game 7]].

Curry has the [[List of NBA career free throw percentage leaders|highest career free-throw percentage in NBA history]] (.911) and has [[List of NBA annual 3-point scoring leaders#Multiple-time leaders|led the league in three-pointers made]] a record eight times. In 2016, he broke his own record for three-pointers made in a regular season, with 402, and made at least one three-pointer in an NBA-record 268 consecutive games from [[2018–19 NBA season|2018]] to [[2023–24 NBA season|2023]].

Curry was expected to take on a greater offensive load in the [[2019–20 Golden State Warriors season|2019–20 season]] with Thompson out injured and [[Kevin Durant]] having left the Warriors as a free agent.

ESPN's Kirk Goldsberry reasoned that one reason for Curry's popularity is that while most people are not tall enough to dunk, everyone can attempt a shot, which is something Curry inspires.<ref name="Goldsberry" /> Owen Davis of [[Sky Sports]] echoed this sentiment, stating: "After all, not everyone is blessed with supreme height and athleticism, but everyone can learn to pass, dribble and shoot.

His fanbase ranges from very young children to the elderly, and casual or committed fans enjoy his style of play.

In 2012, Curry started donating three [[insecticide-treated mosquito net]]s for every three-pointer he made to the [[United Nations Foundation]]'s [[Nothing But Nets]] campaign to combat [[malaria]]. He was first introduced to the malaria cause by Davidson teammate Bryant Barr when they were both in school. Curry visited the [[White House]] in 2015 and delivered a five-minute speech to dignitaries as part of President Barack Obama's launch of his [[President's Malaria Initiative]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Leung |first=Diamond |date=February 25, 2015 |title=Warriors' Stephen Curry meets President Obama |work=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/ci_27596238/warriors-stephen-curry-meets-president-obama |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208063641/http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/ci_27596238/warriors-stephen-curry-meets-president-obama |archive-date=February 8, 2016}}</ref>

In December 2018, while on a podcast, Curry jokingly questioned whether the [[Apollo program]]'s [[Moon landing]] actually took place, which received substantial media attention and criticism.

He partnered with [[Under Armour]] in creating signature shoes inspired by the comment and subsequent discussion. After wearing them to a game, he signed and auctioned them off on [[eBay]].
