In the last Warriors-Pacers game, Curry's total number of regular-season three-pointers reached 2972, only one gap with the first-place Ray Allen, and everyone is expecting Curry to break Ray Allen's three-point record. Today's Warriors away challenge to the Knicks, Curry finally lived up to expectations, in the first quarter, he faced the Knicks' bag clip, with a knife in his hand to hit a steady three-point shot, officially equalizing Ray Allen. At 7:32 in the first quarter, Curry hit another three-pointer, the 2,974th three-pointer of his career, to complete the overtaking of Ray Allen and officially topped the regular season three-point shooting list.
Since entering the NBA in 2009, Curry has celebrated the 13th season of his career. Curry shot 2973 three-pointers in just 789 games, while Ray Allen shot 2973 three-pointers in 1300 games. It is worth mentioning that in this game, the previous three-point kings Ray Allen and Reggie Miller came together to watch and witness this great moment of Curry. The news that Curry surpassed Ray Allen to become the new three-point king of history quickly rushed to the hot search on Twitter and Weibo, and even the NBA official sent a push blessing at the first time. After learning that Curry became the three-point king of history, James also excitedly updated his social platform to bless Curry.
From the rookie player who was called a schoolboy by fans 12 years ago to the historical three-point king with 3 crowns now, Curry has used his divine three-pointer to divert the trend of the NBA and push the NBA into a new era. In addition to the historical regular season three-point shooting record, Curry has maintained a number of three-point shooting records such as single-season three-point shooting records, playoff single-season three-point shooting records, and playoff three-point shooting records. There's no doubt that Curry is the NBA's greatest ever shooter, not one of them.
It should be known that Curry is currently only 33 years old, still at the peak of his career, and his total number of three-point shots will continue to grow. If he averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game in his career and played 1,300 games like Allen did, Curry's career three-point shooting total would be close to 5,000. Still, injuries should be Curry's biggest obstacle to breaking through 5,000 three-pointers. In the past 12 seasons, Curry has not had a full season. The more optimistic prediction is that Curry will play another 5 seasons and play 65 games each season, and the total number of three-point shots in his career will exceed 4,300.
Among the current active players, Harden's three-point shooting is closest to Curry, and Harden's current total number of three-point shots has also come to 2509, leaving curry with just over 400. However, after Harden joined the Nets, the average number of three-point shots per game dropped rapidly. If he wants to surpass Curry, he must come up with the previous state he was in when he was in the Rockets.
