While it has been difficult to find his rhythm from long range to start the season, Steph Curry made history from outside the arc against the Chicago Bulls.
With a triple in the first quarter against the Bulls, the Golden State point guard became the third player in NBA history to reach 2,500 who made 3-pointers in his career. Curry has joined a fast-paced group featuring only Hall of Famer Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.
With 2,500 three hits on his restart, Curry only needs 60 more to give Allen the 3-point full-time list that has been made. The closest active player behind Curry on the list is James Harden at Houston at No. 5 with 2,330. JJ Redick (1,891), LeBron James (1,881), Klay Thompson (1,798) and Damian Lillard (1,781) feature in the top 20.
