Curry entered the game with 2,972 career three-pointers and needed just two to claim the record. He tied the record early in the game before making the record-breaking three with 7:33 left to play in the first period.

Curry didn’t stop there and went on to add to the record by making three more shots from the deep and getting his career total to 2,977. The 33-year-old All-Star finished the game with 22 points, three assists, and three rebounds.

What makes Curry’s record impressive is that he needed far fewer attempts and games to get there. Allen set his record throughout 1,300 games and needed 7,429 attempts.  Cury, on the other hand, did it in 789 games and with 526 attempts less.

“It was a special moment, for sure, that I appreciate and I’ll remember for the rest of my life, in terms of what it means to me to pass Ray,” Curry said after the game. “Him and Reggie [Miller], guys I’ve looked up to coming into the game. Definitely special.”

Stephen Curry’s record will most likely stand for a long time, and there is a question if it will ever be broken considering that he is still far from over with his NBA career. The only other active players in the top 10 of the NBA All-Time list in made three-pointers are James Harden and Damien Lillard. Harden is fourth with 2,509 made threes, while Lillard has 2,119 at tenth.

Allen left Boston in 2012 to join Miami Heat, where he won another championship before retiring in 2014. Two years later, however, he considered unretiring and re-signing with the Celtics if the team landed Kevin Durant in free agency.

During his appearance on “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” radio show, Allen said that he had a brief discussion with Celtics’ president Danny Ainge and told him he’ll return to Boston if Durant goes there as well.

“I had a conversation with (Ainge) and I told him this was my last-ditch effort. I would’ve went back,” said Allen. “This was when Kevin Durant was a free agent. He was thinking about going to Boston. And I said, ‘Hey, if you guys land Kevin, I would certainly look at lacing them back up one more time and try to make something good happen here in Boston.’ “

Ray Allen joined the Boston Celtics in 2007 in a blockbuster trade that paired him with All-Stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. The trio won their first NBA championship next year and looked like a dynasty in the making. However, they managed to reach only one NBA Finals, which they lost to the LA Lakers, in the next four years.

Celtics’ big three split in the summer of 2012, when Allen rejected a more lucrative offer from Celtics in order to join their conference rivals Miami Heat. The split caused a lot of controversies and many of Allen’s former teammates haven’t forgiven him for this move.
