Watch: Steph Curry breaks Ray Allen’s NBA all-time 3-pointer record with historic jumper vs. Knicks

The stage was set for history on Tuesday night.

Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry needed just two 3-pointers against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden to become the NBA’s new all-time leader from beyond the arc.

With history waiting, Curry didn’t waste much time. The seven-time All-Star guard matched Ray Allen’s mark of 2973 with an early jumper. Then, with 7:33 remaining in the first quarter, Curry buried a deep 3-pointer over Alec Burks to pass the Hall of Famer for the most made 3-pointers in history.

With his triple against the Knicks, it was official; no player in NBA history has made more 3-pointers than Curry. The Warriors point guard now stands alone at the top of the list with 2974 made 3-pointers.

Watch the special moment when Curry made history via @warriors on Twitter:

After he made the historic shot, Curry was able to share a moment and celebrate with his teammates, his family in attendance, Reggie Miller and Allen.

Curry finished the game shooting 5-of-15 from deep on the way to 22 points in Golden State’s 105-96 victory over New York.

The 33-year-old guard will get two days off before getting the chance to build his record on Friday against the Boston Celtics.
