At Madison Garden Square in New York, 4 minutes and 27 seconds after the game began, Curry threw in the second three-pointer of the game, bringing his three-point shooting to 2974, successfully surpassing Ray Allen and rising to the top three-pointer in history.
Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and the two generations of three-point kings all came to celebrate Curry and presented them with special jerseys to commemorate this historic moment.
Curry used only 778 games to set a three-point total record, compared to this:
Ray Allen, 2973 three-pointers, 1300 games
Reggie Miller, 2560 three-pointers, 1389 games
Of course, the times are different, and the three cannot be compared. But there's a point where Curry has made it normal to hold the ball for three points, and now all outside attackers practice it.
The referee called a timeout, no time limit. Curry greeted the big guys one by one, and collected the balls used for the game, and the last time was left to himself, and a thousand emotions surged into his heart, and the tears in his eyes could not help himself. Along the way, questioning, scenery, lows... The only one who knows best is himself.
After crying, every three-point shot that Curry has thrown since then is in his own competition. Can he hit 5,000 three-pointers?
At the end of the game, Curry's total three-point total is 2977, a gap of 5000 from 2023. With his current average of 5.4 three-pointers per game, if he maintains this level in the next four seasons, he can have more than 1600 three-pointers, then the record is not a problem with Curry's playing style to 40 years old. However, he himself said that he wanted to retire at the age of 38, what will happen in the future, no one can pack tickets. But what is certain is that Curry's opponent in the three-point field is only himself.
Finally, New York. Madison Garden Plaza is the basketball Mecca, which is the stage where every player aspires to perform, where Miller scored 25 points in the fourth quarter and constantly competed with the fans; Kobe Bryant scored 61 points here, pointing at Spike Lee after the game and saying: Spike this shit was your fault.
In addition, New York is a bit sad.
Curry's father, Dale Curry, once revealed that in the 2009 draft, the team Curry really wanted to join was the Knicks, but the Warriors with the No. 7 pick successfully cut off the Hu, and the Knicks with the No. 8 pick could only choose Jordan Hill.
But looking back now, the Warriors and Curry were destined. Perhaps in New York, Curry may not be able to achieve what he has today.
