Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is on pace to pass Hall of Famer Ray Allen as the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.
Curry hit three 3-pointers against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday (PHT) to increase his all-time total to 2,967 3-pointers, which put him just seven 3-pointers away from passing Allen for the top spot. The Warriors play the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday (PHT).

Curry has knocked down at least one shot from long range in 149 consecutive games, which ranks as the NBA’s longest active streak, and the second-longest streak in league annals after moving past Kyle Korver (127). The three-time champion already owns the all-time NBA record of 157 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer.
At Curry’s current pace (he’s averaging more than five made 3s a game), he appears to be on track to either catch Allen or surpass him with the Warriors facing Indiana and New York in nationally televised outings on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
Curry hit 105 3-pointers in just his first 19 games this season to break his own NBA record (20 games) for the fewest games to reach 100 3-pointers in a season, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Both Curry and Allen were named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
