NEW YORK – The greatest shooter in NBA history pulled on a sweatshirt proclaiming “All-Time 3PT Record Holder,” and a hat that said, “2,974 and counting,” and yet none of these inscriptions sufficiently captured the man or the moment Tuesday night.
Steph Curry seized the three-point shooting crown by hitting his 2974th, 2975th, 2976th and 2,977th shots from beyond the arc in a Warriors victory over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. He received warm embraces from Ray Allen—who set the record of 2,973 in 2011—and from Reggie Miller, who surrendered the record to Allen.
