Golden State Warriors‘ star guard, Steph Curry, is putting in work early this season. Curry just passed Hall of Famer, Reggie Miller, for the second-most career three-pointers made.
Throughout his 18 year career, Reggie Miller made 2,560 three-pointers in 1,389 regular season games. Steph passes Reggie in the all-time scoring records and he’s only 715 games in. Curry currently sits at 2,561 3s, and he’s still got plenty in the tank. The first place slot still belongs to the legend, Ray Allen with 2,973 career threes, which is 400 more three-pointers more than Curry’s record. So for now, Allen’s title as NBA’s all-time three-point shooter is safe during this 2021 season. But Curry will probably surpass Allen’s record in the 2021-2022 season. Coach Steve Kerr comments on Steph’s ability to shoot threes “on or off the dribble” drawing comparisons to him and Allen stating:
“Steph and Ray in my mind are the two greatest ever in terms of the diversity of their 3-point shots, which is why they’re going to be atop that list. The ability to shoot it in so many different ways is just an incredible threat for defenses to have to deal with.” – Steve Kerr
Curry’s Davidson College coach Bob McKillop also made a statement regarding Steph’s ability to change the game, “I don’t know how many superstars can impact the team by doing the little things like Stephen Curry impacts the team.” They slate Curry to set a standard in NBA season to come, en route to becoming the first player to eclipse 3,000 three-pointers made.
