2 977. That is the number of 3-point baskets scored by Stephen Curry, in his 789 regular season games played between October 30, 2009 and December 14, 2021. A staggering total, which allowed him to finally overtake Ray Allen, the former record holder in the matter. At the cost of feats more insane than the other, behind the arc, over the years.
From now on, the leader of the Warriors will try to set the bar much higher by the end of his career, so that no one can beat this record, the way of the rebounds of Wilt Chamberlain (23,924), of the passes of John Stockton ( 15,806), interceptions of the same John Stockton (3,265) or counters of Hakeem Olajuwon (3,830).
” No one is going to beat that record. You hear me ? Anybody “, Reggie Miller announces, holder of this famous record between 1997 and 2010. ” I didn’t think anyone could come close to the 2,900 career 3-pointers. Now I think Stephen [Curry] will smash that record. “
Who will beat this record in the future?
More measured than the “Knick Killer”, even if he would obviously love to keep his record forever, Stephen Curry (33) believes that four players are capable of surpassing him in the long term: James Harden (32), Damian Lillard (31), Klay Thompson (31) and Buddy Hield (28), who score 2,509, 2,119, 1,798 and 1,257 3-point baskets respectively.
Problem for these four players: in addition to having passed the thirties or approaching it, all evolve at the same time as the “Baby-Faced Assassin”, far from having finished his career and who still has good years. behind him. So it may be necessary to look to Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum or Trae Young to see the double MVP be dislodged from his throne. Provided, of course, that injuries do not get involved …
Stephen Curry should therefore experience a good period of tranquility in his most prolific shooter chair in history, at 3-points. And that’s anything but a surprise, when we remember his many exploits in the field, still ongoing and will continue to be. Giving rise to statistics more crazy than each other, behind the arc, that we have decided to list you.
