‘Ray Allen and I have been waiting for you’: Reggie Miller reacts to Steph Curry making 2500 career 3-pointers in the NBA

Reggie Miller welcomed Steph Curry to the 2500 3-pointer club, of which he is a member along with Ray Allen.

The Indiana Pacers legend was the forerunner of the 3-pointer revolution in the modern NBA. He was the first high-volume 3-point shooter to make full use of off-ball movement. Miller is commonly considered one of the most clutch players in league history. His excellence from range needs no introduction.

Many believe that Reggie would have been an even more potent scorer in today’s game. He certainly would have had better spacing and an emptier paint to work with. Miller may have had a weird shooting form, but with the reps he put in, he was a really consistent shooter.
