Stephen Curry Heads Straight For His Parents As He Makes History

The 33-year-old gave his father, Dell, the record-breaking ball and shared a private moment hugging his mother, Sonya.

As Stephen Curry drained his historic 2,974th three-pointer on Tuesday night, the Warriors superstar was understandably emotional as he became the league's all-time leader in three-pointers. 

The game came to a halt as he celebrated with his teammates and even made a stop by the previous record holder, Ray Allen. Curry then found his way to his parents, handing his father, Dell, the record-breaking ball before embracing him.
