Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry set the NBA all-time record for 3-pointers made with his second 3 pointer on Tuesday against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. And his list is still growing.
The former record holder Ray Allen was also in attendance to see Stephen Curry break his record. Ray Allen, a Hall of Famer who played 18 NBA seasons previously held the record at 2,973 3-pointers. He did this in 1,300 games, while Stephen Curry did it in 789 games with 2,974 3 pointers and counting. Curry has made at least one 3-pointer in every game he’s played this season for a total of 140 prior to Tuesday night. He’s shooting 40.4% from long range and averaging 5.4 made 3-pointers per game. He has hit nine 3-pointers in a game four times this season: Nov. 8 vs. Atlanta Hawks, Nov. 12 vs. Chicago Bulls, Nov. 16 vs. Brooklyn Nets and Nov. 18 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Golden State Warriors have a serious chance of going all the way this season if they keep playing like this. The Warriors are still waiting for Klay Thompson’s return following two lost seasons due to injuries. However, Golden State is 22-5 more than a quarter of the way into the 2021-22 season. What are your thoughts on the Warriors, do you think they are championship contenders, or what team do you think will win it all?
