Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen
Curry presented longtime teammates Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala
with engraved Rolex watches for their role in helping him set the
record for the most three-pointers made in NBA history.

Curry, who moved past Hall of Fame
guard Ray Allen on the three-point list during Tuesday’s game against the
New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, gifted Green and Iguodala their watches afterward:

Klay Thompson will also receive a Rolex
from Curry, but he couldn’t be in attendance for the game as he
continues his recovery from a torn Achilles, per ESPN’s 
Dominique Collins.

The seven-time All-Star has now knocked
down 2,977 career threes, and at the age of 33, he has plenty of time to keep extending
his record.

“It was a special moment, for
sure, that I appreciate and I’ll remember for the rest of my life, in
terms of what it means to me to pass Ray,” Curry told reporters.
“Him and Reggie [Miller], guys I’ve looked up to coming into the
game. Definitely special.”

Curry became the foundation for the
Warriors’ eventual formation of a dynasty when he was selected with
the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft.

Thompson joined as a first-round pick
in 2011, Green arrived as a second-round selection in 2012 and
Iguodala signed as a free agent in 2013.

There were other notable additions over
the years, headlined by Kevin Durant in 2016, but those four players
were the key building blocks for a franchise that won three NBA
championships in a four-year span beginning in 2015.

Durant and Iguodala left after the
2018-19 season, and subsequent injuries to Curry and Thompson played
a key role in the Dubs’ back-to-back years out of the playoffs.

The Warriors are back trending in the
right direction this season, though.

Curry is playing at an MVP level, Green
is putting himself in the conversation for Defensive Player of the
Year, Iguodala returned in free agency and Thompson is expected to
rejoin the lineup eventually to reunite the quartet.

Those are all promising signs for a
Warriors squad that owns an NBA-best 23-5 record to re-enter the
championship conversation once again.
