Warriors News: Draymond Green's Moving Comment After Steph Curry Breaks Ray Allen's Record

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has opened up about the significance of having Stephen Curry as a teammate in his career.

On Tuesday, December 14, Curry officially became the best three-point shooter of all time after nailing his 2,974th trifecta against the New York Knicks.

The Warriors squad was thrilled about the two-time MVP’s historical feat. In fact, veteran All-Star Green was even prompted to deliver a moving remark post-game.

“I always say that not often do you have the opportunity to interact with somebody great at something – let alone go to work with someone that is the absolute best at something,” Green said of Curry. “That’s a very rare thing because there are very few people that are the best.”

“Steph [Curry] is the best to ever shoot a basketball and we get the opportunity to go to work with him every day,” he continued.

Another notable thing about Curry’s breaking of Allen’s all-time record was that he only needed 789 games, while the NBA Hall of Famer did it after 1,300 outings during his time.

The obvious reason behind it was the evolution of the game. Evidently, Curry played in an era where the three-point shot has become essential.

By contrast, the game was dominated by the bigs during Allen’s time and most of the points were coming from inside the paint.

Unsurprisingly, Curry was well aware of how he benefitted of it.

“I’ve been able to experience a lot in this game,” Curry admitted. “But the bar that was set by Ray [Allen] and the fact that I could get there in the amount of games that I did, and shoot the percentage that I did, that’s something I’m really proud of.”

“The record is special, and we’ll see how far I can push it, but the combination of both of those things and how quickly it happened, to me, is owning that journey."

Prior to being dethroned as No. 1 in the all-time list, Allen had already pointed out that he and Curry should not be compared to one another not only because of the different eras but also because they had a completely different playing style.

“I believe Steph is in a lane of his own that I don't think he has [a comparison],” Allen previously explained.

“I would compare Klay [Thompson] more to myself and Reggie [Miller] because we are moving without the ball, we're kind of on the weak side a lot, and throw [Richard] Hamilton even though Rip wasn't a big volume 3-point shooter. But to be able to move the defense and to come off pin-downs and screens and shoot in transition without touching the ball is a real talent."
