Stephen Curry on Saturday passed Reggie Miller for second place on the NBA’s career three-pointers list, and there was noting but love between the two men.
Curry had 24 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, although his Golden State Warriors lost, 127-108, to the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. Curry was 5-for-10 on threes, giving him 2,562 threes in his career.
Miller, who is now second, sent Curry some incredibly sincere congratulations on Twitter.
Miller also popped in on Curry’s postgame press conference to congratulate the Warriors guard.
Curry showed respect to Miller as well. After tying Miller for second, Curry threw up the Nos. 3 and 1 on his hands, which represented Miller’s No. 31 jersey.
Some former stars are bitter when their records are broken, or they tear down newer and younger players. That is not the case for Miller, who probably knew for a while that Curry was bound to pass him.
Next on the list for Curry is Ray Allen.
