Curry broke the 3-point record with 2,974 made 3s in December 2021 when he surpassed Ray Allen’s (2,973) previous record at Madison Square Garden.
He holds numerous 3-point records, including being the first player to make 3,000 threes, a milestone he reached two weeks after breaking Allen’s record.
The former No. 7 pick also holds the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single season, with 402 in the 2015-16 season.
