GOAT status: Steph Curry sets new NBA record for 3-pointers

NBA star Steph Curry became the league’s undisputed 3-point shooting king on Tuesday, strengthening his case as the greatest shooter of all time.

The 33-year-old Golden State Warriors point guard made five of 14 shots from long range Tuesday night, scoring a total of 22 points in New York City in a 105-96 victory over the New York Knicks, according to ESPN.

Curry’s golden moment came seven minutes and 33 seconds into the game’s first quarter, ESPN reports, when he caught a pass from teammate Andrew Wiggins and sank a 28-footer from beyond the arc.

That historic shot broke hall-of-famer Ray Allen‘s NBA record for 3-pointers. The Warriors called a timeout moments later to let their star soak it all in after weeks of anticipation.

Teammate Draymond Green hugged Curry, who handed his record-breaking ball to his father, Dell Curry, as the opposing crowd at Madison Square Garden stood and clapped for one of the greatest players of his generation.

Allen, who was in the building, made his way to center court along with fellow 3-point shooting legend Reggie Miller and gave Curry another hug. The new long-ball champion eventually walked over to the Warriors bench before the tears started to flow.
