Steph Curry’s all-time made three’s record is going to be tough for anyone to catch, but he thinks there’s one player that could do it, and it’s not James Harden.
Harden surpassed Ray Allen this week for second all-time in threes made and Steph wants his number to become untouchable.
“You hope to push the number to where – and you know all records are meant to be broken; that’s how sports works, that’s how life works – but I hope, with the volume and accuracy, that it might be a number that will be very, very hard to break,” Curry said on Dubs Talk.
“Very similar to what LeBron has done with the all-time scoring record. There’s a lot that goes into it, so maybe we can push it further. Then nobody can touch it.”
After breaking the record, 35-year-old Harden admitted that he’ll probably never catch Curry.
But Steph is a little worried about Anthony Edwards’ numbers climbing. Ant has a league-leading 67 triples this season and 856 in his career at just 23 years of age.
“Anytime you see how guys start the year and the list that I’m on, I think he’s had two years of this amount of 3s in the first (few) games of the season, and he’s third on that list,” Curry said of Edwards. “The perspective of shooting 3s, the volume that’s going on around each team and around the league, it’s definitely a different world. So, guess everything is possible at this point.
“I do question how far this can go because it seems to be hitting a breaking point. This style has a threshold or a limit to it. Everybody is playing numbers, and they just want to get up as many as possible. So, so we’ll see how it goes.”
Curry was 26 years old when he reached 1,000 made three’s in his 369th game, Edwards is on pace to reach that number before then. At the time of writing, Ant has played 316 NBA games.
