Stephen Curry has revolutionized NBA basketball with his otherworldly shooting ability. He entered the league in 2009 when it was dominated by Big Men and interior scorers. But Steph made the basketball world realize that 3 is more than 2 if you make your shots consistently. The Baby-Faced Assassin surpassed Hall of Famer Ray Allen to become the all-time leader in three-pointers made in 2021.
Having left Ray Allen’s 525 3-pointers behind, Chef Curry is ready to reach another milestone in his illustrious career, which could be achieved in tonight’s Warriors-Nets game.

Steph will most likely surpass the 3,500 mark tonight, considering he has been shooting lights out all season. He is leading the league in three-pointers this season with 109 made baskets. Curry is averaging an astounding 5 threes per game and is shooting at an efficiency of over 41 percent. With no signs of slowing down, Curry is taking his three-point record to a height that might never be attained. The closest to Curry’s three-point record is NBA legend Ray Allen, with 2973 shots from deep. The only active players in the Top 10 list apart from Steph are Damian Lillard, James Harden, and LeBron James. And they are all miles away from coming close to the 4-time Champion’s record.

Can Stephen Curry salvage the Warriors season?
Despite Steph being in elite form this season, the Warriors are ranked 11th in the Western Conference standings. They have lost 14 of their 24 games so far. A lot of it has to do with the drama surrounding Draymond Green, the shooting struggles of Klay Thompson, and a roster change during the off-season. It seems like nothing is clicking for the Warriors this season. However, it is a long way from the end of the season. The Warriors can bounce back if they get their act together and Stephen Curry enters beast mode.
