After nailing a three against the Philadelphia 76ers, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors took a moment to taunt fellow sharpshooter Reggie Miller.
Check out the clip below posted by Jake Hutchinson of KNBR. Miller was actually along the sidelines, serving as a commentator for the game. Miller is currently the second all-time leader in 3-point field goals. Curry is trailing right behind Miller on that list, occupying the third spot.

So it's pretty clear why Curry taunted Miller. The Splash Brother entered the game with 2,332 3-point field goals made. Miller joked that Curry might surpass his 2,560 career 3-pointers by the end of the broadcast. It's an impossible feat. A feasible milestone for Curry is to surpass Miller's record by the end of the season.
Midway into the season, Curry's already drained 203 3-pointers. If he remains healthy, he might make over 300 by the end of the season which means that he'll be the second all-time leader in 3-point field goals made.
And if he continues his pace, the 30-year-old might boot Ray Allen out who is the all-time leader with 2,973 career 3-pointers. Many believe that he'll definitely take the top spot. The main concern is how large will Curry's gap be and if there's someone out there who can outshoot him.
