Stephen Curry the Golden State Warrior sets NBA three-point record
Ten years ago, a user posted a question on Reddit: "When Ray Allen finally retires, is Steph Curry the greatest threat to his 3P made records?"
In the replies, many are sceptical. One says they don't think Curry will reach 2,000, while another belief: "No one can even catch up to Jason Kidd .... let alone Ray Allen."
When Allen retired, he had made a remarkable 2,973 three-pointers in 1,300 games.
During the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night game against the New York Knicks, Curry made two three-pointers to break Allen's record in the first quarter. And with three more in the Warriors' victory, Curry has poured in 2,977 in 789 games. The bar that set by Ray and the fact that I could get there in the number of games that I did and shoot the percentage that I did, that's something I'm proud of," Curry said at a postgame news conference.
So with Curry having etched his name into the NBA history books, a new question is worth asking: has "Chef" Curry, all by himself, changed the way basketball will be played in years to come?
