ANKARA – Stephen Curry made two 3-pointers in the first quarter of the Golden State Warriors - New York Knicks game Tuesday at Madison Square Garden to become the NBA's all-time record holder for 3-pointers made in the regular season.
With 7:33 to go in the first quarter of the game, Curry managed to hit his 2,974th 3-pointer of his regular season career, surpassing Ray Allen.
Former Boston Celtics and Miami Heat shooting guard Allen made 2,973 3-pointers in 1,300 games. The 2008 and 2013 NBA champion, Allen, 46, officially retired in 2016.
Curry, a three-time NBA champion, is dubbed the greatest shooter in NBA history by players and analysts.
Curry hit three more from the arc to extend his career total to 2,977 as the Warriors defeated the Knicks, 105-96, to improve their win-loss record at 23-5. (Anadolu)
