Stephen Curry Wins ESPY for Best Record Breaking Performance

Walnut Creek's own Stephen Curry won the ESPY Wednesday night for best record-breaking performance.

His 402 3-pointers in a single season, which topped his own previous mark of 286, was deemed better than any other record in any sport over the past year.

Curry's other accomplishments during the season include:

• NBA player record for 3 pointers in a season: Stephen Curry
• NBA player record for most consecutive games making a 3 pointer: Stephen Curry

But while Curry repeated as MVP for the NBA, the Warriors failed to repeat as NBA champions. And Wednesday night, Curry had to sit and watch LeBron James win the Best Male Athlete Award, and the Cleveland Cavaliers took home the award for Best Team.

Perhaps tonight's awards ceremony fueled Curry's desire to retake the NBA crown even more.
