Miller First to Milestone

On this day in 2001, the Indiana Pacers’ Reggie Miller scored a team-high 24 points with four 3-pointers made in a 101-95 win over the Sacramento Kings, becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 2,000 career 3-pointers made. Miller is now one of 14 players to attain that milestone.

Miller made multiple 3-pointers in 731 games, the second-highest total in NBA history:

• 847 — Ray Allen

• 731 — Reggie Miller

• 721 — Stephen Curry

• 700 — James Harden

• 695 — Kyle Korver

This was the 12th of 15 consecutive seasons in which Miller made at least 100 3-pointers, tied with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce for the longest such streak in NBA history.
