The best shooter in NBA history added another record to his resume on Sunday.
Steph Curry hit his 61st straight free throw in the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Chicago Bulls, setting the franchise record for most consecutive free throws made.
The previous mark was held by Rick Barry. The Hall of Famer hit 60 in a row in 1976 with his signature underhand shot, but he’s long been hoping to see Curry eclipse him. “Hell yeah, I’m rooting for him,” Barry said in 2017 when Steph last got close — he was at 49 straight at the time, and got to 54 before finally faltering on a technical free throw.
