This transformation can be attributed, in part, to teams attempting to counter the Warriors' dominance and young players aspiring to emulate Curry's range. Curry regularly attempts shots from 30 to 35 feet at an efficiency of .54, compared to the league average of under .22 from this range and .35 for made three-pointers overall. As Curry himself noted, "I'm sure coaches tell their high school players that shooting the way I do takes work and time;" Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post stated that "coaches have to explain that while Curry's skill set is something to aspire to, his game is built on fundamentals." His ability to make these shots is complemented by a high degree of ball-handling skills, release, and capacity to shoot effectively with one or more defenders contesting his attempts. Sally Jenkins, also of The Washington Post, highlighted the degree of difficulty of Curry's shooting, citing a period in which he achieved a .67 success rate on shots taken from 28 to 50 feet. Jeff Austin of Octagon noted that Curry "had to develop tremendous strength in his wrists to shoot and maintain that form from 40 and 50 feet." Goldsberry concludes that "no player in the history of the NBA has combined range, volume, and efficiency from downtown as well as Curry," making him "the most efficient volume scorer on the planet." The developers of the NBA 2K video game series have even expressed concerns about accurately replicating Curry's unique abilities.

Crediting Curry as "one of the greatest guards the game has ever seen", he said: "If you have a mind for the game, you know that it takes sacrifice to be great. All the greats have to sacrifice something. Otherwise you can't win." In a 2019 feature, Sports Illustrated stated that "Curry and the Warriors are a great match of player and system" and that "the entire ecosystem is predicated on the idea that a player doesn't need to dominate the ball to dominate a game. Curry took that noble idea and elevated it beyond any reasonable expectation."{{Cite magazine |last1=Golliver |first1=Ben |last2=Mahoney |first2=Rob |date=February 17, 2017 |title=Top 100 NBA Players of 2019 |url=https://www.si.com/nba/2018/09/10/top-100-nba-players-2019-lebron-james-stephen-curry-dirk-nowitzki |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119121411/https://www.si.com/nba/2018/09/10/top-100-nba-players-2019-lebron-james-stephen-curry-dirk-nowitzki |archive-date=January 19, 2019 |access-date=January 17, 2019 |magazine=Sports Illustrated}} In October 2021, Curry was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time as a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.{{Cite web |title=NBA 75th Anniversary Team announced |website=NBA |url=https://www.nba.com/news/nba-75th-anniversary-team-announced |access-date=October 26, 2021 |archive-date=October 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221016202815/https://www.nba.com/news/nba-75th-anniversary-team-announced |url-status=live }} After winning his fourth NBA championship and first Finals MVP award in 2022, Complex ranked Curry as the 10th greatest player in NBA history the following year.

In 2012, Curry started donating three insecticide-treated mosquito nets for every three-pointer he made to the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign to combat malaria. He was first introduced to the malaria cause by Davidson teammate Bryant Barr when they were both in school. Curry visited the White House in 2015 and delivered a five-minute speech to dignitaries as part of President Barack Obama's launch of his President's Malaria Initiative.{{Cite news |last=Leung |first=Diamond |date=February 25, 2015 |title=Warriors' Stephen Curry meets President Obama |work=San Jose Mercury News |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/ci_27596238/warriors-stephen-curry-meets-president-obama |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208063641/http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/ci_27596238/warriors-stephen-curry-meets-president-obama |archive-date=February 8, 2016}}

In 2015, Curry wore sneakers that bore the name "Deah Shaddy Barakat"—a victim of the 2015 Chapel Hill shooting.

Curry said that Deah's family "did a great job of reaching out to me and making me aware of the details of his life and personality ... It was really kind of a cool deal to be able to use the platform yesterday to honor Deah and his family ... I'm going to send them the shoes I wore yesterday.

In December 2018, while on a podcast, Curry jokingly questioned whether the Apollo program's Moon landing actually took place, which received substantial media attention and criticism.
