Steph Curry has finally cemented himself statistically as the greatest shooter in NBA history.
Early in the first quarter against the New York Knicks on Dec. 14, Curry stepped behind the three-point line as he caught a pass from teammate Andrew Wiggins and sunk the 2,974 three-pointer of his career, the most in NBA history. Director and Knicks superfan Spike Lee was there to capture the moment on his cell phone.

Curry was greeted by Hall of Famers Reggie Miller and Ray Allen on the floor, the two previous holders of the record. In his series of postgame interviews, Curry finally claimed his title as the greatest shooter of all time.
“I got that now, baby!” he said as he raised his arms up in the press room.
