ANKARA (AA) - 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.
