Steph Curry becomes third player in NBA history to make 2,500 career 3-pointers
Although he’s struggled to find his rhythm from long distance to start the season, Steph Curry made history from beyond the arc against the Chicago Bulls.
With a triple in the first quarter against the Bulls, Golden State’s point guard became the third player in NBA history to reach 2,500 made 3-pointers in his career. Curry joined a sharpshooting group that only features Hall of Famer Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.
With 2,500 triples on his resume, Curry only needs 60 more makes to pass Allen on the all-time 3-pointers made list. The closest active player behind Curry on the list is Houston’s James Harden at No. 5 with 2,330. J.J. Redick (1,891), LeBron James (1,881), Klay Thompson (1,798) and Damian Lillard (1,781) are featured in the top 20.
