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".

Curry was always considered as the league's greatest shooter and now the numbers are there to back him. Curry also holds a record of most 3-pointers including 400 3s in one season and now he has broken the record of Allen, who the held record since passing Reggie Miller in 2011.
