Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry already owns an array of shooting records in the NBA and on Sunday night he got closer to another one.
By draining a three-point shot in the first quarter of a 128-129 win against the Chicago Bulls, Curry reached 2,500 made three-pointers in his career and became just the third player in NBA history to get there. He is now in the company of Hall of Famer Reggie Miller (2,560) and two-time NBA champion Ray Allen (2,973).
Curry is also the fastest of the trio to get to this number, needing only 702 games. For comparison, Allen needed 1,021 games while Miller achieved it in 1,288 games.
After only playing five games last season due to an injury, Stephen Curry had trouble finding his shooting rhythm to start the 2020-21 season and is currently making only 25.7 percent of his threes. However, it isn’t hard to see this trend ending soon, especially considering a recent practice video that saw Curry hit 103 consecutive three-pointers during a practice.
Curry currently owns several league records for three-pointers, including the most made in a single season with 402, and the record for most consecutive regular-season games with a made three-pointer with 157. He also led the league in made threes five times.
