Widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, and as the greatest shooter in NBA history, Stephen Curry is credited with revolutionizing the sport by inspiring teams and players to more frequently utilize the three-point shot.

As a matter of fact, he became last season the all time NBA leader in 3 points made with 3117 in 826 games, surpassing Ray Allen who is sitting at 2973 3 points made in 1300 games played.

Steph record is more impressive considering the efficiency he is shooting and the volume.

While he isn't as efficient as his younger brother Seth Curry, Steph has shot threes at a 42.8% clip over his career.


According to our collegues from
Statmuse, Allen shot exactly 40% on threes in his career. For Steph's efficiency to fall to 40%, the guard will need to miss 500 consecutive three-pointers.

If you know Steph, we could all agree that the chances for him to miss 500 consecutive threes and lower than him making 500 consecutive three-pointers.

If you don't believe me, here's a video of Steph making 105 consecutive threes in the gym.
