Stephen Curry finally did. At Madison Square Garden, Curry broke ray Allen's record for the most three-pointers in NBA history. In recent games, Curry has been trying to break the record, and finally under everyone's attention, he finally broke through this layer of window paper.
In this game, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller all watched the game on the spot, and the two also completed a group photo with Curry. After breaking the record, Curry said he was finally arguably the greatest goalscorer of all time. Given Curry's style of play, he will be in the NBA for a long time and will likely make the numbers insurmountable.
However, there are some young players in the NBA who have the opportunity to break Curry's record. For example, Mitchell, Doncic, Trae Young, Lamelo Bauer and Edwards. Mitchell has shot 808 three-pointers for a total of 303 games. Curry, on the other hand, has made just 792 three-pointers in the NBA in 303 games.
Trae Young is currently shooting 597 three-pointers, for a total of 231 games. Curry has only scored 530 goals in the same number of games.
Doncic has made 588 three-pointers in just 220 games, while Curry has only made 499 in the same number of games.
Three-goal shooting 162 three-pointers in just 75 games, while Curry only shot 150 in the same game.
Edwards of 2020 shot 248 three-pointers in just 99 games, while Curry only shot 200 three-pointers in the same number of games.
If these players can consistently maintain this pace, they have a chance to break Curry's three-point record in the future.
While these players don't have as good shooting abilities as Curry, the NBA's game has changed a lot since Curry entered the league. When Curry first entered the league, the league averaged 18.1 three-point shots per game and hit 6.4 shots. In the 14-15 season, Curry won the first championship, averaging 22.4 three-point shots per game in the league, shooting 7.8. In the 21-22 season, the league's average three-point shooting per game has soared to 35.4, hitting 12.3 shots.
The players entered the NBA under curry's influence, and three-pointers have become a major focus in the league. Only time will tell if they can break Curry's record. As it stands, they have a good chance of eventually overtaking Stephen Curry. Of course, even if Curry's record is broken, it will not erase his contribution to basketball. He single-handedly changed the way basketball is played.
