Stephen Curry Passes Ray Allen for Most Made 3s in NBA Playoff History

When Stephen Curry inevitably has a film made about him, the tagline should read: Just keep swishing, swishing, swishing.

On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors two-time MVP point guard surpassed NBA Hall of Fame guard Ray Allen for the most made threes in NBA playoff history. Per ESPN Stats & Info, Curry needed just 91 postseason games to achieve the feat while Allen played in 171 throughout his 18-season career.

Curry's 386th career postseason triple came with 6:39 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors' Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Golden State buried the Clippers 121-104 to take a 1-0 lead in the first-round series behind a game-high 38 points from Curry. The three-time NBA champion nailed eight threes along the way.

Allen remains the league's all-time leader in career regular-season threes made at 2,973. However, Curry is lurking at No. 3 with 2,483. To contextualize just how achievable that record is for the 31-year-old: Curry trails Allen by 490, and he made 354 from behind the arc during the 2018-19 regular season alone.

From the 2012-13 season to 2016-17, Curry led all NBA shooters in both three-point attempts and three-point makes—peaking in 2015-16 when he went 402-of-886.

To make matters even more absurd, Curry has been the NBA's most lethal shooter while dealing with subpar vision his entire career. On April 3, Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic revealed that the 2009 No. 7 overall pick recently began wearing contact lenses to address a sub-37 percent three-point shooting slump.

The rich get richer. The Splash Brothers somehow get wavier.

The top-seeded Warriors as a whole have tunnel vision as they seek yet another NBA championship, which would lock in a three-peat. Game 2 against the Clippers is slated for 10:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, and will be televised on TNT.
