It was only a matter of time before Stephen Curry became the NBA‘s all-time leader in three-pointers made. The Golden State Warriors superstar has broken a record owned by Ray Allen since 2011.

After trying so hard over the last few weeks, Curry headed into Tuesday night’s showdown against the New York Knicks just two three-pointers away from breaking Allen’s 2,973 mark and he didn’t fail to make history.

This fuels Steph’scase as the best shooter of all timeas he also has the opportunity to take off in the list and set an unprecedented milestoneby surpassing the 3,000 three-pointers, leaving Allen’s previous record way behind.

While Ray Allen retired with 2,973 three-pointers after 1,300 games, Curry has already surpassed that mark playing less than 800 matches. So, we can imagine that, barring any setback,his record will be significantly better by the time he has as many appearances as Allen.
