On this day: Ray Allen breaks 3-point record; Walter A. Brown born

On this day in Celtics history, Ray Allen broke the all-time NBA record for made 3-pointers, and team founder Walter A. Brown was born.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, champion Celtic shooting guard Ray Allen broke Reggie Miller’s all-time made 3-point shot record in 2011.

It came in a 92-86 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, which took some of the shine off the event, but Miller — who held the previous record of 2,560 3-pointers made — was in the audience to congratulate Allen. Ray held the record (2,973 career made 3-pointers), and while several active players are above 2,000 career makes, it remains to be seen whether anyone will pass the current owner of the accomplishment in the short term, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.

At present, he broke the record on Dec. 14, 2021, and holds the record as of this writing.
