A new 3-point record for Stephen Curry | NBA
Usually, when it comes to the best scorers, passers or rebounders of all time, the NBA only talks about regular season records. Except that last night, it was an exception for Stephen Curry, who became the most prolific 3-point shooter in history, regular season and playoffs included.
For the NBA, this is obviously a way to put it forward, and after his 9 of 17 away against the Bulls, Stephen Curry now posts 3,366 career 3-pointers, against 3,358 for Ray Allen. But… the former Celtics and Heat shooter remains No. 1 in the regular season with 2,973 3-pointers, compared to 2,896 for the Warrior.
With Stephen Curry going over five 3-pointers per game this season, he could overtake Ray Allen in about 20 games, and then it could be written that he is the best 3-point shooter in history. To realize how far he is ahead of Allen, he will have needed 585 games less to overtake him! That’s about seven seasons!
Speaking of record, Stephen Curry holds the record of 3-pointers scored in a season, with 402 successes in 2016. After twelve matches, he is on the same pace with already 64 3-point baskets.
