Curry’s shot with 10:59 left in the third quarter of Saturday’s game in Utah officially moved him into second place on the all-time made 3-pointers list, passing Reggie Miller (2,560) in the process. He now sits behind just Ray Allen (2,973) for the NBA’s career splash crown.
Stephen Curry accomplished this feat in 715 career games played. In the cases of Miller and Allen, their career marks were reached in 1,389 and 1,300 games respectively. That amounts to 3.6 three-pointers made per game for Curry, 1.8 for Miller and 2.3 for Allen.
Curry is just 32 years old, and turning 33 in March. Miller and Allen played until they were each 39 and 38 years old, respectively. This means if Curry continues to play until a similar age, and doesn’t miss any significant amount of time, then he is on track to become the first and only player in NBA history to reach 3,000 career made 3-pointers.
