Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry shot his 2,974th 3-pointer on Tuesday night (December 14) against the New York Knicks to become the top 3-point scorer in NBA history.
By doing so, he broke the record set by Ray Allen, who witnessed the historic moment from the stands and later congratulated the baller with a custom jersey "Curry 2974".
Curry born in Davidson (Town in North Carolina), United States of America, was a 3-star recruit and the 256th-ranked player in the 2006 class. He went to a school that hadn't had a player drafted since the 1960s. And today, he has made more three-pointers than anyone in NBA history. Curry has done something which can be just described as "Incredible".
"STEPHEN CURRY...THE ALL-TIME THREE-POINT KING IN THE NBA."
