Many regard Kobe Bryant as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He achieved several massive feats during his career. However, the most iconic one would be passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Another player who recently broke an all-time record is Stephen Curry.
Warriors star Stephen Curry recently broke the all-time record for three-pointers in the NBA. He passed Ray Allen, who scored 2973 3-pointers in 1,300 games in his career. Curry now stands tall on the all-time 3-point record with 2,977 from beyond the arc.

Curry and Kobe Bryant are surely among the NBA greats and they have another quality in common: loyalty. Kobe spent his entire career with the Lakers and retired with the same team. Curry, on the other side, has been with the Warriors since 2009. Moreover, there has been a player, who was present on the court on both occasions when Kobe passed Jordan on the all-time list and when Curry became the all-time 3-point leader.
