On Tuesday night, James Harden toppled a record held by Stephen Curry.
It wasn’t a memorable record — Atlanta’s State Farm Arena didn’t stop play and commemorate the moment — but it does tell us so much about the state of the modern NBA game.
It also highlights how instrumental Curry has been — and still is — to the revolution.
Harden shot his 887th 3-pointer of the season in the Rockets’ game against the Hawks Tuesday, breaking Curry’s three-year-old record for most 3-point attempts. Harden will surely shatter that prior record — he’s likely to go over 1,000 3-point attempts this season.
