Steph Curry passes Paul Pierce for sixth place on NBA all-time 3-point list

Share

With 4:24 remaining in the fourth quarter, Steph Curry drained a 3-pointer against the Denver Nuggets, and moved up the NBA record book in the process.

The triple was No. 2,144 of Curry's career, and the Warriors star passed Paul Pierce for sixth place on the league's all-time 3-point list. 

The two-time MVP added some distance between him and Pierce on the Warriors' next possession. Curry made another triple in the Warriors' 100-98 loss, the 2,145th of his career, 31 seconds later. 

Curry now is 829 makes away from passing Pierce's teammate, Ray Allen, for the top spot on the all-time list.

The next player in Curry's sights is Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford, whom the Warriors will host Monday at Oracle Arena. Crawford is eight makes ahead of Curry on the all-time list, but the 38-year-old has not made a 3-pointer all season.

Assuming Crawford doesn't make a shot from beyond the arc on Monday, Curry could pass him. Of course, the 30-year-old would need to make nine triples -- a feat he's managed 17 times (in the regular season and playoffs) during his decade in the NBA -- in order to do it.
