It was only a matter of time, and everyone expected it to happen—but nevertheless, the fact that it finally did happen makes it all the more special.

During Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors two-time MVP Curry passed Indiana Pacer legend, Reggie Miller, as the holder of the second-most 3-pointers made of all time.

Miller sunk 2,560 3-pointers throughout his career, but he did it in 1,389 regular-season games and 18 years in the league. Curry, on the other hand, surpassed that number on his 715th game and 12th NBA season. Let that sink in as to how dominant Curry has been behind the arc throughout his career.

“That’s pretty dope,” said Curry in an interview after the game. “We got our head beat tonight, but I was trying to still enjoy it. After I made the third one, I knew that was a big one, and then to make that fourth one in the third quarter was pretty special. Something I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time.”

In a 113-105 win over the Atlanta Hawks, Ball put up 22 points, 12 boards, and 11 assists. He did it at the age of 19 years and 140 days old.

Interestingly enough, the very same record was also once held by Ball’s older brother Lonzo Ball. In Lonzo’s rookie season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he recorded a triple-double at 20 years and 15 days old.

It didn’t take long for Dallas Mavericks phenom Luka Doncic to get in on that action, beating Lonzo’s record and doing it at 19 years and 327 days.

Then it was the Orlando Magic’s Markelle Fultz’s turn, who stole the record by getting a triple-double at 19 years and 317 days.

Finally, LaMelo decided he wanted to be the record-holder, which is what brings us to his milestone today.

As the third overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, many people had high hopes for the youngster, predicting that he’ll eventually reach the All-Star level. However, draft hype doesn’t always translate to real-world success.

In LaMelo’s case, however, it seems to be rolling over pretty well. So far, he’s been averaging 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.9 assists—which is not bad at all for a rookie still getting his sea legs.
