Steph Curry’s Historic Night

Throughout his career, Steph Curry has managed to break quite a few records and mark multiple milestones. At the beginning of this week, on the night between Saturday and Sunday, in a 127-108 loss to Utah, Curry marked another historic moment when he surpassed Hall of Famer Reggie Miller for second place on the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers made list, with 2,561 exact shots. Miller made 2,560 3-pointers over 1,389 regular-season games during his 18-year NBA career; Curry passed him in his 715th career game, coming early in his 12th NBA season.

“That’s pretty dope,” Curry said after the game (as mentioned, the Jazz beat the Warriors 127-108). “We got our head beat tonight, but I was trying to still enjoy it. After I made the third one, I knew that was a big one, and then to make that fourth one in the third quarter was pretty special. Something I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time.” With Miller in his rearview, the only player that stands between Curry and the title of 3-point king is another legendary shooter — Ray Allen, who holds the top spot with 2,973 career 3s. With a cushion of over 400 3-pointers made, Allen’s title should remain safe for 2021, but it’s only a matter of time before Curry claims the record for himself.
