Curry was the fastest in league history to make 2,000 3-pointers, doing so in 227 fewer games than previous record-holder Allen.
Fittingly, Curry has set the NBA record for 3-pointers made in a season on three occasions, with his mark from the 2015-16 campaign (402) the current league standard.
The two-time MVP also holds the records for most seasons leading the league in 3-pointers (five) and most consecutive games with at least one made three (157). He's second only to teammate Klay Thompson (14) for made threes in a contest with 13.
