Curry passes Kobe for 11th on all-time 3-point list
Steph Curry continues his meteoric ascent up the all-time 3-point ladder.
The reigning two-time MVP hit his second triple of the night - and the 1,828th of his career - in the third quarter against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, moving past Kobe Bryant and into 11th place on the career NBA leaderboard.
It took Curry 555 regular-season games to run down Bryant, whose 1,827 made threes came in a 1,346-game career.

The Golden State Warriors point guard has struggled with his stroke of late. He shot 2-of-20 from deep in two games coming into Thursday night's contest, and missed five of his first six 3-point attempts against the Bulls before splashing the long ball that broke the tie with Bryant.
