Two-time league MVP Stephen Curry now holds the record for most three-pointers in the NBA, breaking Ray Allen’s all-time NBA record of 2,973 against the New York Knicks inside Madison Square Garden.

Curry needed just four minutes into the opening quarter to soar past Allen’s record, drawing instant praise from across the sporting world.

With history in the books, we thought it was worth taking a look at the numbers behind what is likely to be a Hall of Fame career.

2,974

The historic number of three-pointers Curry made to overtake Ray Allen’s all-time NBA record. Curry has played 788 games in the NBA so far.

The number that matters most for Curry. The 33-year-old sharpshooting guard needs just two three-pointers to make history and break Ray Allen’s long-standing record of 2,973.

Dig a little deeper, however, and two appears throughout Curry’s career. He is a two-time NBA MVP (2015, 2016) and a two-time NBA scoring champion (2016, 2021). In 2015 and 2021 he was the NBA’s three-point contest champion, but no big surprise there.

Over his 13-year NBA career Curry has held the record for most points scored in an overtime period some 17 times.
