<P> During the 2012--13 season, Curry set the NBA record for three - pointers made in a regular season with 272 . He surpassed that record in 2015 with 286, and again in 2016 with 402 . During the 2013--14 season, he and teammate Klay Thompson were nicknamed the Splash Brothers en route to setting the NBA record for combined three - pointers in a season with 484, a record they broke the following season (525) and again in the 2015--16 season (678). </P> <P> Stephen Curry is the son of Sonya (Adams) and Dell Curry . He was born in Akron, Ohio while his father was a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers . He grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where his father spent most of his NBA career with the Charlotte Hornets . Dell often took Curry and his younger brother Seth to his games, where they would shoot with the Hornets during warm - ups . The family briefly relocated to Toronto, where Dell finished out his career as a member of the Raptors . During this time, Curry played for the Queensway Christian College boys' basketball team, leading them to an undefeated season . He was also a member of Toronto 5--0, a club team that plays across Ontario, pitting him against fellow future NBA players Cory Joseph and Kelly Olynyk . Curry led the team to a 33--4 record, en route to winning the provincial championship . </P> <P> Following Dell's retirement, the family moved back to Charlotte and Curry enrolled at Charlotte Christian School, where he was named all - conference, all - state, and led his team to three conference titles and three state playoff appearances . Because of his father's storied career at Virginia Tech, Curry wanted to play college basketball for the Hokies, but was only offered a walk - on spot due in part to his slender 160 - pound frame . He ultimately chose to attend Davidson College, who had aggressively recruited him from the tenth grade . </P> <Table> US college sports recruiting information for high school athletes <Tr> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Hometown </Th> <Th> High school / college </Th> <Th> Height </Th> <Th> Weight </Th> <Th> Commit date </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Stephen Curry PG </Td> <Td> Charlotte, North Carolina </Td> <Td> Charlotte Christian </Td> <Td> 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) </Td> <Td> 163 lb (74 kg) </Td> <Td> Sep 18, 2005 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> Recruiting star ratings: Scout: Rivals: 247Sports: </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> Overall recruiting rankings: Scout: 36 (PG) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> Note: In many cases, Scout, Rivals, 247Sports, and ESPN may conflict in their listings of height and weight . </Li> <Li> In these cases, the average was taken .
