Stephen Curry never wanted to say it himself, even if others have been saying it for years.He refused to call himself the greatest shooter of them all until the numbers said so.And now?“I got that baby,” Curry said, raising his arms high in the air.

He struck the same pose hours earlier Tuesday night after shooting his way to the top of the NBA record book with his 2,974th 3-pointer in the first quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ win over the New York Knicks.

Curry broke the record set by Ray Allen, who held it for 10 years after passing Reggie Miller. They were both at the game and presented Curry with a jersey with a 2,974 on the back.
