Steph Curry's Crazy Faith
Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry says it took "crazy faith" to help him break the NBA's three-point shot record this week.
It was a defining moment in his 13-career season as Curry sailed to the leader board making his 2,974th career three-pointer. He completed the task in 511 games less than former record-holder Ray Allen.
'I've had crazy faith ever since I started playing basketball and to think, like this moment, was possible and again to do it in front of Ray...is special to have one of my own now," he said after the game on TNT.
The All-Star player hit the milestone during the first quarter of a game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Allen, who set the record in 2011, and former record-holder, Reggie Miller, gave Curry a jersey with the number "2,974" on it.
"This is very special," Curry said. "I've been thinking about this number for a long time. I even got (the number) on my shoes. In basketball history, this is pretty special."
"These two legends – I watched them growing up and understood what it meant to shoot the ball because of them and my dad... full-circle moment," he added. "I'm blessed – blessed for sure."
On Wednesday, Curry posted to Instagram an image of the jersey using the hashtag -- #CrazyFaith.
As CBN News has reported, Curry's life verse appears to be Philippians 4:13 which states, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." He includes the reference on his basketball shoes and his Twitter bio.
Curry has previously used his platform to point people to Jesus.
"I love that basketball gives me the opportunities to do good things for people and to point them towards the Man who died for our sins on the cross," he wrote in a 2015 Fellowship for Christian Athletes article. "I know I have a place in heaven waiting for me because of Him, and that's something no earthly prize or trophy could ever top."

NBA Star Steph Curry Almost Aborted - Mother Confesses
By Steve Warren
That second child, Steph, would later grow up to become a Golden State Warriors all-star basketball player.
While discussing her new book Fierce Love: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose with Luke Norsworthy on the Newsworthy with Norsworthy Podcast, Curry, 56, said her experience of having an abortion after an unplanned pregnancy, "It almost could not go in the book."
"Like the Spirit was guiding this book of what was going to go into it, how it was going to come together," she told the senior minister of the Westover Hills Church of Christ in Austin, Texas.

Curry described what happened when she also contemplated aborting her second child.
"But when it got to really the nuts and bolts of making certain decisions like I was faced with, there could be no Stephan," Curry said. "If I would have gone through that, there would have been no Wardell Stephen Curry II. And you know, God had a plan for that child."
"And just the Spirit interceding at that moment, in a way that I didn't even know at the moment as happening, just spoke to again the purpose, you know, of faith," she said pausing, "And how might I best describe it? It's just, you know, faith that OK, I don't want to make this decision, because that would have been the second time."
"And I don't want to make that decision again, and now I've just got to trust God to move forward with me having this child," Curry told Norsworthy. "I don't know what's going to happen between Dell and I at that point. And I've just got to make this one decision. I've got to make this one right decision."
Norsworthy shared a short clip of his interview with Sonja Curry on his Instagram page.
