Warriors' Stephen Curry further cements GOAT shooter status with historic  3-point feat vs Nets

Steph Curry is the all-time leading three-point shooter in the NBA, and he is now the first player in history to hit 3,500 career three-pointers.

Ray Allen (2,973) and James Harden (2,800) are the two closest players to Curry.

While Curry is 35, he is still one of the league’s top 10 players, so he has plenty of time to make more three-pointers before retiring.

As a result, it’s possible that no one will ever be able to catch Curry.
