The post Stephen Curry Breaks Ray Allen’s 3-Point Record appeared first on yoursportspot.com.
]]>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.

]]>It’s hard to find anyone who isn’t in awe of Curry. His coach, Steve Kerr, was at a loss for words when he tried to describe his talent: “I don’t know what else to say. The shot-making is just unbelievable and mind-boggling, but I’ve used those phrases already.”
Curry’s longtime teammate Draymond Green had this to say: “Incredible, man. The rim is about the size of an ocean, literally. A couple of those ones he hit tonight, it’s incredible. The way he’s leading us, it’s been incredible to watch. His scoring is just a byproduct of that.”
But perhaps the most interesting recollection of it all came from the mouth of the man himself. When asked what goes through his mind when he’s shooting, Curry responded: “When you’re in this type of rhythm, nothing.”
According to Curry, the less you’re thinking, the better: “Just trying to be in the moment as much as possible. When you’re missing, that’s when you start thinking about mechanics, you start thinking about other stuff, those thoughts creep in your head. But when you’re in a flow, in rhythm, there is not much going on upstairs. It’s nice.”
Curry’s incredible game also caused Warriors fans to chant “MVP” during the game against the Kings. And considering the fact that he’s averaging over 38 points a game on 47% three-point shooting this month, leading his team to seven wins out of their last nine games—we’re not surprised in the slightest.
