In his 13-season career, Stephen Curry has won three championships, two MVPs and two scoring titles as the face of the Golden State Warriors while leading the NBA’s three-point revolution. wapo.st/3GxsidS
Along the way, the 33-year-old Curry has smashed countless shooting records and positioned himself to surpass Ray Allen’s career record of 2,973 three-pointers. wapo.st/3GxsidS
The NBA’s all-time leaders typically claim their thrones thanks, in large part, to their longevity.

While Curry seemingly has plenty of high-level basketball ahead of him, he has approached the summit in just his 13th season at age 33.
Curry is poised to be five years younger than Ray Allen was when he set the record.

He has played 514 games fewer than Allen when he retired with 2,973 three-pointers. wapo.st/3GxsidS
To get a sense for how thoroughly Curry has rewired conventional behavior when it comes to offense, consider that 50 percent of his career shot attempts have been three-pointers.

By comparison, just 7 percent of Michael Jordan’s shots were three-pointers wapo.st/3GxsidS
Even if the NBA’s three-point revolution continues to accelerate, Curry almost certainly will reside in a class by himself for the foreseeable future. wapo.st/3GxsidS

In the middle of the 19th century, hundreds of thousands of new Americans flooded into New York.

They found homes in buildings like this one, on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. wapo.st/3GhSbOA
Today, it's preserved by the Tenement Museum, a public history organization.

Inside, visitors can see relics and reminders of one of the most consequential migrations in human history, a flood tide of humanity that changed the fabric of America. wapo.st/3GhSbOA
For decades, tenement dwellers had only basic protection from fire but almost none from disease.

As public understanding of contagious disease improved, housing laws in 1879 and 1901 helped spur incremental changes. wapo.st/3GhSbOA

After working a couple of years in an intensive care unit, Alex Stow signed up to be a travel nurse, tripling his pay to about $95 an hour by agreeing to help short-staffed hospitals around the country for 13 weeks at a time. wapo.st/3IsiSSE
Stow, 25, is buying a truck and a camper and preparing to hit the road.

He’ll work where he wants and take time off to see the country between nursing assignments. wapo.st/3IsiSSE "As soon as I found out that was a thing, I thought, &q

Matthew Hawn was well aware his liberal views made him an outlier in his overwhelmingly White, mostly conservative community.

But that had never mattered before. wapo.st/3rJMrJw
He had taught in rural Tennessee for 16 years without any trouble. And he had taught the class that got him fired, “Contemporary Issues,” for nearly a decade without a single parent complaint. wapo.st/3rJMrJw
Then at the start of last school year, he made a pronouncement during a discussion about police shootings that would derail his career.

White privilege, he told his nearly all-White class, is “a fact.” wapo.st/3rJMrJw
