Everyone knows Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball.
But sometimes a stat pops up about the Golden State Warriors legend that drives that point home even more clearly.
One of those presented itself after Curry's performance in a 123-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.
The defeat wasn't Curry's fault. He dropped 38 points on 14-for-27 shooting, which included 8-for-15 from 3-point range.
It was the 93rd game in Curry's career in which he made at least eight 3-pointers.

Yes, that's first all-time, according to Real Sports.
And it's nearly triple second-place Damian Lillard, who has 32 games with eight or more 3-pointers.
Third place is Klay Thompson, at 24.
Talk about an unbreakable record. What are the odds that another player like Curry comes along and breaks this? Even in the modern NBA, where 3-pointers get fired up left and right, eight made 3s by a single player in a game is still incredibly rare.
Curry is the only guy in league history who has made it feel like a somewhat normal occurrence.
It's too bad it didn't lead to a win on Thursday night. Golden State's chances may be mostly ruined after Jimmy Butler tore his ACL.
That won't stop Curry from continuing to let it fly, though. It's what he does, better than anyone else in the history of the sport.
