Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is on pace to pass Hall of Famer Ray Allen as the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.
Curry hit six 3-pointers against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday to increase his all-time total to 2,964 3-pointers, which put him just 10 3-pointers away from passing Allen for the top spot. The Warriors’ next game is Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers (8:30 ET, ABC).

Curry has knocked down at least one shot from long range in 149 consecutive games, which ranks as the NBA’s longest active streak, and the second-longest streak in league annals after moving past Kyle Korver (127). The three-time champion already owns the all-time NBA record of 157 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer.
At Curry’s current pace (he’s averaging more than five made 3s a game), he appears to be on track to either catch Allen or surpass him in the small window of road games from December 11-14 with the Warriors facing Philadelphia, Indiana and New York in nationally televised outings.
Curry, the ongoing leader in this week’s Kia MVP Ladder, hit 105 3-pointers in just his first 19 games this season to break his own NBA record (20 games) for the fewest games to reach 100 3-pointers in a season, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Both Curry and Allen were named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
