It has been 7 consecutive years. Curry and Thompson have more than 200 3-point shots each since the 2012-2013 season. Curry and Thompson are the only players to have scored more than 200 three-pointers in seven years in NBA history. Of course, it is the first time they recorded side by side with one team. It is a good match for the nickname 'Splash Duo' or 'Splash brothers'.
Curry and Thompson are also prominent shooters in Golden State. Of the 868 three-point shots that Golden State had won this season, 487 three-point shots, 56.1 percent, came from Curry and Thompson's hands. Curry and Thompson led the Golden State to a 3-point shot (13.0 points) and a 3-pointers (37.8 percent) in the league this season.

Curry and Thompson are already replacing most of the three-point shootings. Curry made 402 3-point shots in the 2015-2016 season, making him the first player to score 400 3-pointers in one season. In the cumulative record, he is third in the list with 2410 three-point shots, and he is one of the top player in the active players.
Thompson also scored 14 consecutive 3-pointers against the Chicago Bulls on October 30. The previous record was also held by Curry, who had 13 3-pointers in a game against New Orleans Pelicans in November 2016.
Curry and Thompson's combined three-point record is unlikely to be broken for the time being. The only thing that matters is that Thompson is a freelancer at the end of the season. The fans are interested in whether the two players can continue to write down the history of the three-point shoot.
