Curry is arguably the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history. He will eventually pass Hall of Famer Ray Allen for most 3-pointers in league history.
This season, Stephen Curry has made the second-most 3-pointers and he's sixth in the league in 3-point percentage. The 10-year pro is a career 43.7 percent shooter from beyond the arc.
