Curry now trails just Ray Allen and LeBron James. Allen retired after hitting 385 threes in the postseason, while James has 346 made three-pointers and counting.

Whether or not Curry overtakes James will depend heavily on how long the four-time MVP continues playing.

But he could potentially jump in front of Allen by next season. Curry averaged a little over 83 three-pointers over the previous three seasons in the playoffs, so catching up to Allen shouldn't be too hard for the five-time All-Star as long as he remains healthy.
