Golden State guard Stephen Curry entered the season finale needing two 3-pointers to break Ray Allen’s record for a season, set when Allen was a SuperSonic in 2005-06.
This circumstance did not surprise Allen.
“He had a hell of a season,” Allen said. “Somebody asked me a year or two ago, and I said he was one of the guys that had the potential of having the 3-point record in a season or in a career. Because he reminds me of myself when I was in Seattle. Bringing the ball up the floor, playing the open system, getting the ball in the air. And he’s had some big nights. And you’ve got to figure you’ve got to have some seven (3-point) nights throughout the season, and he’s done that. And I knew maybe five or six games ago, at the rate that he’s playing, there’s no way he won’t break it.”
