For 25 years, Reggie Miller Then Ray Allen represented the 3-pt reference. The first was the record holder for winning shots between 1997 and 2011, when the second then overtook him and kept the crown for a decade. For 14 years, the Pacers’ 2,560 3-point shots were the mark to beat.

“Wait, did you say fifth?” “, wonders Stephen Curry, record holder since 2021, when a journalist tells him that Klay Thompson will soon steal his fifth place from Reggie Miller. “It’s me, James Harden, Ray Allen and Klay is fourth or am I delusional? Damian Lillard is fourth? Did he overtake Reggie? I’m lost. I didn’t know. It’s crazy because I passed Miller three years ago and he was second. There, he is fifth now? »
