Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry passes Ray Allen as NBA's all-time 3-point king

NEW YORK -- Stephen Curry is the new 3-point king of the NBA.

The Golden State Warriors star guard became the all-time leader in 3-pointers Tuesday night against the Knicks, passing Hall of Famer Ray Allen by knocking down the 2,974th of his career.

The record-breaking shot came with 7 minutes, 33 seconds left in the first quarter as Curry knocked down a 28-footer from the right wing off a pass from Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors quickly fouled and called a time out so that Curry could enjoy the moment.

Curry received a big hug from teammate Draymond Green as players streamed onto the floor to congratulate him. He took the ball that he was clutching in his arm and handed it to his father, Dell, on the floor as the Madison Square Garden crowd gave him a rousing standing ovation. Curry went back toward center court a few moments later to get a hug and congratulations from Allen.

The record will probably be unbreakable when Curry is done playing.

...as were Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

You could tell they all like and respect one another.

To have Reggie calling the game was amazing...

Congrats to Steph Curry!
