The Golden State Warriors guard became the GOAT shooter last night in a 105-96 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden when he made his 2,974th 3-pointer of his career. The shot pushed him passed Hall of Famer Ray Allen, who previously held the title.

Curry was able to reach the goal in 789 games while Allen racked up that many 3-pointers in 1,300 career games, which goes to show you how talented and why he’s the GOAT shooter of the NBA.
After landing the shot, the 33-year-old baller ran over to where his dad/former NBA player Dell Curry was sitting courtside to give him the ball and grab a hug in celebration of his big feat:

Steph’s mom, Sonya Curry (above), was also in attendance to see her son make history. She was sitting in a separate area than Dell as they are amid a divorce. News about them splitting made headlines back in August.
The record-breaking shot came early in the first quarter of the game with 7 minutes and 33 seconds left. And get this, Ray Allen was in the audience. He embraced Steph after he broke his record:

“I never wanted to call myself the greatest shooter until I got this record. I’m comfortable saying it now,” Steph said after breaking the record.
"It was a beautiful ending to this last week," Steph said after the game. "The buildup to getting this number, it was a special atmosphere. I knew the Garden would deliver just in terms of how iconic this place is -- I can't say it enough, I appreciate so much the way the fans embraced the moment with me and let me kind of get lost in it. I could feel it. Once I took the shot on the wing, it just felt good, looked good -- it felt like we were at home."
”It was a special moment, for sure, that I appreciate and I'll remember for the rest of my life, in terms of what it means to me to pass Ray," Steph added. "Him and Reggie [Miller], guys I've looked up to coming into the game. Definitely special."
Love him or hate him, Steph Curry has changed the way the game is played forever.
