Steph Curry broke the NBA’s all-time three-point record and the basketball world went wild

Rarely do NBA games grind to a halt unless something absolutely magnificent happens on the court. Only then does the basketball world take time to pause in the moment and soak it all in.

That was the case for Stephen Curry at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. With 7:34 remaining in the first quarter, Curry drilled his second three-pointer of the game, breaking Ray Allen’s all-time record of 2,973 three-pointers made and doing so in 511 fewer contests.

Allen was in attendance at MSG for Knicks-Warriors, getting a close-up view of his record’s final moments. So was Reggie Miller—third on the all-time NBA three-point list after Curry passed him less than a year ago—who got to call the moment live as an analyst for TNT.

All of it helped make an epic celebration even more special as basketball fans around the world passed along their tributes to the undisputed three-point king.
