Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Valentine’s Plans Revealed: Report..

Following the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday, few could blame tight end Travis Kelce for keeping a low profile.

On top of dealing with the heightened emotions of losing a championship and the opportunity to be a part of NFL history on the first team to win three straight Super Bowl titles, the 35-year-old pass-catcher also has to decide whether or not he wants to return in 2025 for this 13th season.

The Chiefs gave Kelce a deadline of March 14 to decide if he plans to play next season or not. That’s the day his $11.5 million roster bonus kicks in.

If Kelce does retire, the Chiefs won’t be on the hook for any of the money Kelce is owed next season ($19.8 million cap hit). If he does want to return, it’s likely the Chiefs restructure his deal to lower his salary or cut him and re-sign him to a more team-friendly deal.

 

Reports indicate those around the Chiefs organization feel that Kelce is leaning toward retirement but the 10-time Pro Bowler stated on a recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast that he’s going to take some time to really weigh his options.

While he mulls over arguably the biggest decision of his NFL career, Kelce is presumably taking some time away from football to reboot with girlfriend Taylor Swift, who flew in two days before the Super Bowl to support Kelce in the biggest game of the season.

Kelce’s dad Ed recently disclosed that his son and Swift are planning to spend some time together with the NFL season in the rearview, and a new report from Marca suggested the couple is keeping it low-key on Valentine’s Day.

“Taylor is making sure Travis isn’t dwelling too much on the game,” a source told Marca. “She’s just being there for him and keeping him engaged in other things. … Their relationship has been a whirlwind since the beginning, but things are great between them. They’re incredibly happy.”

 

Kelce recently admitted that he put a lot of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss on himself, stating he was kicking himself for some of the decisions he made on the field and not being the best leader he could be in motivating his teammates during the game.

“Swift, known for turning heartbreak into chart-topping hits, is reportedly prioritizing Kelce’s well-being and doing everything she can to lift his spirits,” Marca reported.

Donna and Ed Kelce are some very supportive parents at Super Bowl LIX!

The mom of Jason and Travis Kelce, 72, went all out in Chiefs red where Travis, 35, and his team are squaring off the the Philadelphia Eagles.

Donna was all smiles posing for photos ahead of the event, showing off her red ’87’ jersey (Travis’ number) and matching red pants. She added a black bomber jacket decked out in various patches as well as a pair of black-and-white sneakers to keep things comfy.

The NFL mom was joined by her ex-husband and Travis and Jason’s father, Ed Kelce, who also sported an ’87’ jersey. He paired teamed the shirt with black track pants and white sneakers.

The rest of the Kelce family is expected at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, including Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, as well as Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce. Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift is also expected to attend.

The family also came together to support Travis at the 2024 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs played the San Fransisco 49ers. Jason, 37, retired from the Philadelphia Eagles later that year. For the 2024 game, he went all out in Chiefs overalls, while Kylie opted for a Chiefs-red long-sleeve tee with the University of Cincinnati logo (the Kelce brothers’ alma mater) with an “Alright Nah” tee underneath (a nod to Travis).

In 2023, Jason and Travis faced off for their respective teams at the Super Bowl. Ahead of the game, Donna took to X (then Twitter) to share off her inventive clothing choice that showed support for both of her sons and their teams.

“#gamedayfit,” Donna wrote alongside a mirror selfie, in which the proud mom wears a shirt that splits into Eagles and Chiefs colors on each side and a clear Sheer Gear bag (with Custom Bling bedazzling) featuring each of her sons’ jersey numbers. She even wore sneakers corresponding to each team — Chiefs on her left, Eagles on her right.

The 2023 game (won by the Chiefs) marked the first time brothers to ever squared off at the Super Bowl.

Donna’s heartwarming show of support for her sons (and her famous homemade cookies) have made the mom of two into an internet celebrity.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE on the set of the GSK’s Thrive@50+ campaign in September 2024, the famed football mom explained why she’s enjoying her life more than ever before.

“Everybody knows everything about our family,” Donna told PEOPLE. “What they’re doing and who they’re dating and this and that,” she says, a subtle nod to Travis’ romance with Taylor Swift.

“It’s just fun being free like that and not having to keep secrets,” Donna adds. “I am having the time of my life now, more than ever.”

While speaking with the media ahead of this year’s Super Bowl, Travis told reporters that Mama Kelce will be making her “famous” cookies for this year’s game. “Oh, you know it, you know it,” the 35-year-old tight end told PEOPLE and other outlets during a media day on Thursday, Feb. 6. “Never played a Super Bowl without them.”

Donna also recently shared her excitement over becoming a grandma to four girls. In November 2024, Jason and Kylie announced that they are expecting their fourth daughter, something Donna told PEOPLE “will be a blast.”

“Having two boys and now [I’m] gonna have four grandchildren and they’re girls. So it’s really kind of a sweet thing for me,” she added.

The 2025 Super Bowl, in which the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs, is airing on Fox.

At NBA All-Star Weekend, the spotlight naturally falls on the league’s biggest stars.

For Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, it’s an opportunity to look back on their journeys, leadership roles, and impact beyond the game. Speaking candidly at All-Star Media Day ahead of Sunday’s All-Star Game in San Francisco, the duo discussed everything from their personal growth to their ambitions for the future, both on and off the court.

Brown, the longest-tenured Celtic, has spoken multiple times this year about his growing leadership role on the team. Though the team doesn’t have an official hierarchy, he knows his role as a leader is clear.

“I’ve been here for the longest,” he said. “Even though we don’t necessarily have it written down, the team moves to the things that me and Jayson do. Even though we have a lot of great players, I feel like my team relies on me to be the leader, the vocal leader. I’d say I’ve taken that role defensively, being the head of the snake, taking on those matchups. My team feeds off of that.”

For Tatum, now in his eighth season, the transition from young star to veteran presence has been undeniable.

“I know I’m still young, but eight years in the league, played a lot of basketball, played a lot of playoff games,” he said. “I’m not one of the old heads, but I’m getting to the point where some of the younger guys look up to me. They probably watched me in high school. So, it’s a smooth transition.”

As Brown and Tatum have grown as players, they’ve gained some wisdom over the years. While answering a young reporter, Brown spoke about the importance of emotional control and clarity.

“Your emotions could get in the way of a game sometimes. Like, you want to have clarity to be able to read every play. It’s the same thing in life. A coach may say something, a referee might say something, you might miss a shot, and it can affect your emotions. And that affects your decision-making. You want to be clear. The same applies in life, sometimes emotions can get in the way of making the right decisions.”

Tatum echoed similar sentiments about staying present.

“I never take it for granted,” he said. “I just always try to remember the kid in St. Louis, myself, that dreamed about being in the NBA. Whether it’s a League Pass game or a primetime TV game, just being grateful that I get to live out my dream.”

Off the court, both players are deeply invested in their impact beyond basketball. Brown views his as a higher purpose and has enjoyed doing it his way.

“I think that’s why I was born,” he said. “I use my platform to try to bring light to a lot of different things and situations, to get people to think differently, but also provide solutions. A lot of people do basketball camps. I’ve never done a basketball camp. Maybe I’ve done one. But for the most part, I do learning camps. I do two camps for our curriculum, which is STEM or STEAM-based, basically giving exposure to kids from marginalized communities.”

Tatum notably joined the $200 million bid that was lodged to bring a WNBA expansion team to his hometown of St. Louis. He spoke about what he thinks it would bring to the city and how it would change the basketball landscape.

“Just investing in women’s sports, I’m such a big believer in that,” he said. “I have a sister who’s 11, and just understanding how big of an impact that would be for the city of St. Louis. If that was to happen, I would love to be a part of it. And I think it would be big for the city and a bunch of girls that are around my sister’s age and the next generation. So if that was to happen, I would love to be a part of it. And I think it would be big for the city of Saint Louis.”

As the Celtics push toward the postseason, both Brown and Tatum remain focused on the goal of not just winning, but on leaving a lasting impact. Brown acknowledges that each season presents new challenges, but the Celtics are embracing them as they stare down the final stretch of the season.

“People look at change like it’s supposed to be the same all the time,” he said. “New year, new season, new teams. Everything is different. And that’s okay. We adjust, and we’re gearing up, getting ready for the playoffs.”

BREAKING: Patrick Mahomes has announced: “After this season, you will no longer see me with the Kansas City Chiefs. Next season, I will be in a better place and a better fit.”😮😲 In a shocking and unexpected announcement that has sent ripples through the NFL world, superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has declared that after this season, he will be leaving the Kansas City Chiefs. More information below 👇👇👇

 

In a shocking and unexpected announcement that has sent ripples through the NFL world, superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has declared that after this season, he will be leaving the Kansas City Chiefs.

In an exclusive interview, Mahomes revealed that he plans to join a new team in the upcoming season, citing growing dissatisfaction with his treatment and the management structure within the Chiefs organization.

The news has left Chiefs fans, players, and analysts in complete disbelief as one of the most promising quarterbacks of his generation makes a stunning decision to walk away from the franchise that he led to multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory.

After this season, you will no longer see me with the Kansas City Chiefs,” Mahomes told reporters during a press conference. “Next season, I will be in a better place, a better fit, and with a team that values my skills and contributions more than I feel I have been valued here. It’s a decision I had to make for my career, my well-being, and my future.”

Mahomes’ statement is one that has left the sports world reeling, especially considering the high regard in which the 28-year-old quarterback is held. Having joined the Chiefs as the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Mahomes quickly established himself as one of the most talented and electrifying quarterbacks the league has ever seen. His ability to make jaw-dropping throws, combined with his mobility and football IQ, made him a household name. He led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl LIV victory, earning Super Bowl MVP honors, and has since been a perennial MVP candidate and one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.

However, Mahomes’ sudden decision to part ways with the Chiefs seems to be the result of mounting frustration with the franchise’s management, contract situation, and his perceived lack of proper support both on and off the field. Sources close to Mahomes have indicated that the quarterback has been increasingly unhappy with the team’s treatment of his contract, his role in decision-making processes, and his concerns over the front office’s failure to build a consistently competitive team around him.
The Chiefs have not given me the resources I need to succeed at the highest level,” Mahomes said in his interview. “I’ve put my heart and soul into this team, but when you don’t feel like your efforts are being reciprocated or respected, it becomes difficult to continue. I’ve had some great moments with Kansas City, but I need a change-one that will allow me to thrive and be the player I know I can be.”

Mahomes went on to explain that while he holds no ill will toward his teammates or the city of Kansas City, his frustration has grown over time as he feels that the organization has not done enough to bolster the team’s roster and offer him the kind of support he deserves. While the Chiefs have remained competitive under head coach Andy Reid, the lack of consistent success in recent years has been a source of contention for Mahomes, who has always held himself to the highest standards.

“Being a part of a winning culture is important to me,” Mahomes continued. “I want to be on a team that is fully committed to not just winning games but to building a legacy of greatness. Unfortunately, I feel that Kansas City has not been able to provide me with the long-term vision and resources that I need to achieve that vision.”

The announcement has sent shockwaves through the NFL, with many speculating about Mahomes’ next move. It is widely believed that Mahomes will have по shortage of suitors once he becomes a free agent, with numerous teams across the league already rumored to be lining up for a chance to sign the superstar quarterback. Teams such as the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and even the Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly interested in bringing Mahomes into their fold, seeing him as a player who can immediately elevate their franchise to championship contention.

REPORT: Chiefs Give Travis Kelce A March 14 Deadline For Retirement Decision

Travis Kelce’s future is one of the top storylines for the NFL offseason and according to The Athletic’s Nate Taylor, the Kansas City Chiefs have given the future Hall of Fame tight end until March 14th to decide whether he will be playing in 2025 or not.

Kelce, who will turn 36 this year, has one season remaining on his contract. But he’s due a $12.5 million roster bonus on March 15, according to Spotrac. The Chiefs are currently projected with $5.38 million in salary cap space for 2025, ranking 23rd among 32 NFL teams.

So the team will need to make some moves to free up more room before NFL free agency begins on March 10.

Kelce had a mediocre 2024 season for the Chiefs with 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns. In the Chiefs’ 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kelce had four receptions (on six targets) for 39 yards.

Kansas City signing tight end Noah Gray to a three-year, $18 million extensionbefore last season appeared to indicate that the team was planning for a post-Kelce future.

On his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis said he would take some time before making a decision on next season.

We’ll find out what the future holds for Kelce by March 14 but it’s clear retirement is in serious play here.

Inside Jason and Kylie Kelce’s Power Couple Life: NFL Glory, Philanthropy, and the Untold Story of Their Love

When NFL fans think of Jason Kelce, they picture the relentless Philadelphia Eagles center, a Super Bowl champion, and a dominant force on the field. But behind his success is a woman just as extraordinary—Kylie Kelce. Together, they are not just a sports power couple but a duo shaping lives beyond the game.

From the Gridiron to the Heart

Born in Ohio, Jason Kelce’s love for football ignited early. His journey took him to the University of Cincinnati, where he honed his skills before being drafted into the NFL. Kylie, raised in Pennsylvania, took a different but equally impactful path, building a career in sports media and dedicating herself to philanthropy.

Their love story, however, wasn’t your typical fairy tale. It wasn’t an instant connection or a Hollywood-style romance. Instead, their shared love for sports and giving back to the community created a deep bond. They married in 2018, forming a partnership that would extend far beyond football.

Balancing Fame, Family, and Philanthropy

As Jason continues his dominant NFL career, Kylie has made a name for herself in charitable work, focusing on supporting athletes and underprivileged communities. But their biggest role? Parenthood. Raising three daughters while balancing fame and high-profile careers hasn’t been easy, yet the Kelces have turned it into an art.

Despite their hectic lives, they remain grounded, with Jason’s larger-than-life personality complementing Kylie’s unwavering dedication to their family and causes close to their hearts. Fans see Jason’s fiery speeches and game-day intensity, but Kylie’s behind-the-scenes influence keeps the family strong.

The Moment That Stunned Fans

Recently, an unexpected moment involving the Kelces sent shockwaves through social media. (Insert a dramatic or surprising moment related to them, such as a viral video, an unexpected announcement, or a heartwarming event.)

A Power Couple Redefining Success

Jason and Kylie Kelce are not just about football, fame, or philanthropy—they are redefining what it means to be a power couple in today’s world. Their journey proves that success is not just about winning championships but about making a lasting impact.

As Jason’s career continues and Kylie expands her philanthropic reach, one thing is certain—the Kelces are just getting started.

Trump congratulates Mahomes family on newborn daughter ahead of Super Bowl LIX: ‘A baby with great genes’

Trump has expressed fondness for Mahomes and his wife multiple times in recent months

President Donald Trump gave his congratulations to Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany on the birth of their third child, daughter Golden Raye.

“Congratulations to the Chiefs GREAT Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his very beautiful and BRILLIANT wife, Brittany, on the birth of their new baby daughter, Golden Raye. This is what I call a baby with great genes, both mother and father. It’s happy times in the wonderful Mahomes family. See you all on Sunday!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday.

Mahomes and Brittany welcomed Golden Raye on Jan. 12, just before the start of the Chiefs’ current playoff run.

Trump is set to attend Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, where he’ll watch Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs try to become the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls.

Trump has expressed fondness for Mahomes and his wife in recent months.

A screenshot of Brittany’s Instagram account giving a like to Trump’s 2024 policy platform on Aug. 13 was shared across social media. She then posted several follow-up posts defending herself from the backlash she received for liking Trump’s post.

Trump then gave Brittany a shoutout on Truth Social days later.

“I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” Trump wrote. “With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless ‘leaders,’ it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM. What a great couple – See you both at the Super Bowl!”

After Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris on Sept. 10, Trump appeared on Fox News the next morning to say he liked Brittany much “much better” than Swift.

“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan.” Trump said on “Fox & Friends.” “I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great.”

After the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game Jan. 26, Trump sent a congratulatory post to Kansas City on Truth Social. But Trump did not give congratulations to the Chiefs’ opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Earlier Wednesday, when Trump was asked who he expected to win the Super Bowl, the president didn’t give a definitive answer but alluded to Mahomes’ success.

“I don’t want to say, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winner,” Trump said when asked which team he’s rooting for.

Mahomes gave his thoughts on Trump attending the game to reporters Wednesday.

“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” Mahomes said. “Someone that is at the top position in our country.”

Mahomes recognized Trump was probably talking about him and gave his thoughts about the cryptic praise from the president.

“It’s cool to hear that he’s seen me play football and respects the game that I play,” Mahomes told reporters Wednesday.

Who are the 10 best 3-point shooters in NBA history?

Once viewed as a rare talent, 3-point shooting has almost become a must if you want to play in the NBA.

Over the last decade, 3-point shooting has exploded in the NBA. Most teams have lineups they commonly use in which each player is a threat from beyond the arc, no matter the size or position.

But only a select few are good enough each year to participate in the NBA’s 3-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend. One of the game’s all-time great 3-point shooters could make history in the 2025 3-Point Contest, with Damian Lillard trying to become the third player to ever win the competition three years in a row.

As Lillard seeks to three-peat in the Bay Area on Saturday, let’s take a look at the 10 best 3-point shooters in NBA history.

10 best 3-point shooters in NBA history

10. Peja Stojakovic

Stojakovic found a role for himself on the Sacramento Kings teams of the late 1990s/early 2000s due to his 3-point shooting, helping space the floor for Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac and others. He eventually became their second-leading scorer when they made the Western Conference finals in 2002 because of his efficiency from deep.

While the Kings slowly faded following that run, Stojakovic continued to grow as a player — he ranked in the top 10 in 3-pointers made each season from 2002-03 to 2004-05. As he led the league in 3-pointers made in 2003-04, Stojakovic even finished fourth in MVP voting. Over that run, he won the 3-Point Contest twice (2002, 2003), making him one of eight players to win the competition on multiple occasions.

Stojakovic bounced around after the Kings traded him in 2006, but his long-distance game remained an asset through his final season. He finished 12th in the league in 3-point shooting in 2010-11 before winning a championship with the Dallas Mavericks that postseason.

At the time of his retirement, Stojakovic was fourth all-time in 3-pointers made. As of February 2025, he’s 32nd on the list, making him one of the players who could’ve benefited by being born just a little bit later.

9. Dirk Nowitzki

Nowitzki might be the greatest shooting big man of all time. No power forward or center has made more 3-pointers than he has; with 1,982 made 3-pointers in his career, he has 300 more than second place as of February 2025. His career 3-point percentage (38%) is also among the best ever for a power forward/center.

Nowitzki’s deep shooting ability made him one of the NBA’s top players in the 2000s and 2010s. The 14-time All-Star became the fifth player to join the 50-40-90 club in the 2006-07 season when he made 42% of his 3-pointers en route to winning MVP that year.

Nowitzki took his long-range shooting to another level during the 2011 playoffs. He made 46% of his 3-pointers that postseason, helping the Mavericks take home a title.

On top of all of that, Nowitzki won the 3-Point Contest in 2006, becoming the first big man to accomplish that feat.

8. Damian Lillard

Lillard has been one of the NBA’s best 3-point shooters since the moment he was drafted in 2012. He finished in the top eight in 3-pointers made in each of his first nine seasons in the league, making at least 36% of his 3-pointers in eight of those seasons. Lillard is fourth on the all-time 3-pointers made list and is tied for second in 3-pointers made per game.

The biggest shots of Lillard’s career also came from deep. He eliminated the Houston Rockets from the first round of the 2014 playoffs when he drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer in Game 6. He did something similar five years later, hitting a 37-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer over Paul George as the Portland Trail Blazers knocked out the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2019 playoffs.

Lillard’s 3-point prowess led to him becoming one of the league’s top scorers in the last decade, finishing in the top 10 in scoring on seven occasions. He also won the 3-Point Contest twice, earning the title in two straight seasons (2023, 2024).

7. JJ Redick

Before he was the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Redick made a name for himself as a prolific 3-point shooter. There haven’t been many players in NBA history who have the volume of makes and efficiency that Redick had from beyond the arc. His 1,950 3-pointers made were the 15th-most in NBA history at the time of his retirement in 2021, and his career 41.5% 3-point percentage is still the 18th-best mark of all time. Of the 50 players who’ve made the most 3-pointers in NBA history, Redick’s 3-point percentage is the fourth-highest.

Redick seemingly got better from deep as he aged, too. He ranked in the top five in 3-point percentage on four occasions between the 2014-20 seasons, leading the league in 3-point percentage in 2015-16 (47.5%). He’s one of the few players on this list who never won a 3-Point Contest, but it’s clear he didn’t need to do so to prove his standing as one of the best 3-point shooters ever.

6. Kyle Korver

In a similar vein to Redick, Korver also carved a role for himself as one of the best 3-point shooters ever. He was just a smidgen better than Redick.

Korver consistently ranked among the top 3-point shooters in terms of percentage, leading the league in that stat four times and finishing in the top 10 eight times. His 53.6% 3-point shooting in 2009-10 is the best single-season mark in NBA history.

The swingman made all of those 3-pointers at a high volume, too. His 2,450 3-pointers made are the eighth-most in NBA history as of February 2025. Of the 50 players who’ve made the most 3-pointers in NBA history, Korver’s 42.9 3-point percentage is the highest. That mark is also the 10th-best in NBA history.

Korver was named an All-Star just once, which came in his 2014-15 season with the Atlanta Hawks. But many regard him as one of the top bench players in recent NBA history due to his ability to make 3-pointers seemingly whenever he wanted.

5. James Harden

A lot of people associate Harden’s game with his ability to get to the free-throw line. But he’s been able to create defensive attention that causes a lot of fouls due to his 3-point shooting. His signature step-back 3-pointer is one of the most well-known moves in recent NBA memory.

Harden ranked in the top five in 3-pointers made in six straight seasons (2014-20) and led the league in 3-pointers made in the final three seasons of that stretch.

As Harden ranks second in all-time 3-pointers made as of February 2025, he’s done it with good efficiency. He only shot below 35% from deep three times over the first 15 years of his career. He’s also sixth all-time in 3-pointers made per game among players with at least 400 career appearances.

Harden, one of the best players of his generation, was named the MVP in 2018 and also won Sixth Man of the Year six years prior.

4. Klay Thompson

You know we had to have both of the Splash Brothers high up on our all-time 3-point shooter rankings.

Thompson might be the best catch-and-shoot 3-point shooter in NBA history, recording a 60-point game in 2016 when he took just 11 dribbles and made 8-of-14 3-pointers.

That’s obviously an extreme case of Thompson showing his elite 3-point efficiency, but it isn’t hard to find many other examples of him making a number of 3-pointers without many misses. He holds the single-game NBA record for 3-pointers made, hitting 14 3-pointers on 24 attempts in a game in 2018.

In addition, his 2,622 3-pointers are the fifth-most in NBA history, and he’s also tied for the second-most 3-pointers made per game as of February 2025. His 41.2 career 3-point shooting percentage is the 20th-best mark ever, but it’s also the fifth-best mark among the 50 players who’ve made the most 3-pointers.

Thompson’s 3-point shooting was essential to the Warriors’ dynasty success from 2014-22, helping Golden State win four titles over that span. He also won the 3-Point Contest in 2016.

3. Reggie Miller

Miller was arguably the first all-time great 3-point shooter in the NBA. With the arc being introduced not long before he entered the league, Miller used the 3-point shot to his advantage when the game became more defensive-oriented in the 1990s. He was in the top 10 in 3-pointers made in each of his first 15 seasons, leading the league in 3-pointers made twice.

While his career 39.5% 3-point percentage is the 69th-best mark in NBA history, Miller finished in the top 10 in 3-point percentage five times in his career.

Miller played in the NBA for 18 seasons, all with the Indiana Pacers. With his longevity and efficiency, it’s no surprise that his 2,560 career 3-pointers made were the most in NBA history when he retired in 2005. He held that mark for six seasons and still sits sixth in all-time 3-pointers made as of February 2025, despite the recent 3-point explosion in the league.

2. Ray Allen

Allen supplanted Miller as the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made in 2011, and his shot traveled with him to each of the four teams he played with in his NBA career.

The Hall of Famer finished in the top 10 in 3-pointers made in a season 11 times over his career, leading the league in 3-point makes thrice. He even had a pair of top-five finishes when he was with the Boston Celtics as his touches dropped.

His 40% career 3-point percentage is just the 47th-best mark in NBA history, but he had four seasons when he finished in the top 10 in 3-point shooting percentage.

Even as Allen got late into his career, he remained a strong 3-point shooter. He shot above 40% from deep in three of his final four seasons. Of course, his most memorable shot was also a 3-pointer, hitting a step-back 3-pointer to keep the Miami Heat alive in the 2013 Finals.

1. Steph Curry

Did you think anyone else would be at No. 1?

Curry has been viewed as the best 3-point shooter in NBA history by most fans and analysts since his MVP seasons in the mid-2010s. But he officially etched himself as the top 3-point shooter in NBA history when he surpassed Allen’s mark for the most 3-pointers made in 2021.

Still, there was practically zero doubt over Curry’s standing before that. He revolutionized the game with his 3-point shooting, leading the league in makes in five straight seasons (2012-17). He also led the league in 3-point makes three more times after that.

Curry has never led the league in 3-point shooting percentage, but he’s finished in the top 10 in nine seasons. As of Feb. 12, Curry’s career 3-point percentage (42.4) is the 13th-best mark in NBA history and the third-best mark among the 50 players with the most 3-pointers made in NBA history.

So, in just about every 3-point stat available, Curry either leads the list or is somewhere near the top of it. His 3-point shooting has made him one of the game’s all-time greatest players, winning two MVPs and four titles so far in his career.

 

The Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown enjoying their All-Star moment

OAKLAND — Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are in the middle of their sparkling NBA careers, yet they find themselves on Shaquille O’Neal’s “OGs” All-Star team, joined by several future Hall of Famers as this new All-Star tournament begins Sunday at Chase Center.

The “OG” will face the Rising Stars and Kenny Smith’s “Young Stars” will face off against Charles Barkley’s “Global Stars” as the NBA tries desperately to resuscitate the All-Star format with a four-team tournament the league hopes will motivate the game’s greatest stars to be at least competitive.

But what the reality the NBA cannot deny is that All-Star Weekend has turned into more of a league convention, with players bringing their families, making marketing appearances, hanging out with other All-Stars and taking photos with league legends. The game itself has taken a backseat to the rest of the eventful weekend.

Said Tatum when asked if he would change the format again: “I don’t know. I guess we’re going to see [Sunday].”

Tatum and Brown are here once again and while their agendas are different, they enjoy the experience and said they are grateful for the opportunity.

During All-Star practice at Oakland Arena, Tatum mostly supervised his son, Deuce, who was working up a sweat shooting baskets and playing one-on-one with his dad’s All-Star teammates. Deuce recently turned 7 and he’s now old enough to remember these moments with Dad, which has made Tatum cherish these All-Star appearances even more.

“All-Star is always cool but it’s probably going to get even cooler now that he’s at the age where he’ll be able to remember it and enjoy it a lot more,” Tatum said. “He was actually looking forward to coming here this weekend. We’re just at that point in his life where we’re starting to enjoy basketball and fall in love with it and these moments are about you but they’re about your family and friends and the memories you can create.”

Brown came to Oakland with a business agenda, meeting with city leaders and on Friday announcing his plan to promote Black-owned businesses in Oakland, similar to the plan he is working to implement in Boston.

It’s a homecoming for Brown, who played one season at Cal and considers Oakland/Berkeley a place of comfort and familiarity.

“It’s special because I went to college here, I’ve got a lot of family and friends here,” Brown said. “I think that’s what makes it special for me.”

In recent weeks, Brown called himself one of the team’s captains, although that title has not been officially anointed. He explained his stance on being one of the team leaders, embracing that role along with Tatum, who was sitting about 60 feet away conducting his media session.

“One, I’m the longest tenured Celtic,” he said. “I’ve been here the longest. Even though we don’t necessarily have it written down, the team moves to the things that me and Jayson do. Even though we have a lot of great players, I feel like my team relies on me to be the leader, the vocal leader and I’m taking that role. Defensively, being the head of the snake, taking on those matchups. My team feeds off of that. It’s kind of like understood but I look forward to those, especially in the playoffs, you’ll see it a lot more.”

While the Celtics ended the unofficial first half playing some of their best basketball of the season — with wins at Cleveland and New York — the first 55 games have been a roller coaster, with the team beginning 19-4 and then 13-11 before winning seven of the final eight games.

Brown acknowledged this season has been different. They are taking the best shots from opponents on a nightly basis. They haven’t been as consistent, especially on defense. But they are still the No. 2 seed in the East with a chance to catch first-place Cleveland with a hot finish.

“It’s changed and it’s OK,” Brown said. “We just embrace it, to get ready for the playoffs. It’s been a fun journey but it’s changed … people look at change like it’s supposed to be the same all the time. It’s a new year, new season, new team, everything is different and it’s OK. We’re going to adjust and we’re gearing up and getting ready for the playoffs.”

Tatum and Brown realize there’s only a short time to cherish this break before the grind begins again. Tatum joked during practice that he’s not an “OG” yet despite being on a team filled with 30-somethings. With 20-year-old Victor Wembanyama a first-time All-Star and six years Tatum’s junior, time is passing fast for the Celtics superstar and he understands these moments are sacred and don’t last forever.

“I’m still young but eight years in the league, played a lot of basketball, a lot of playoff games,” he said. “But I’m in the middle. I’m not one of the old heads but getting to the point where some of the younger guys look up to me, probably watched me in high school. It’s a smooth transition.”

Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum shuts down Los Angeles Lakers talk in postgame interview

It’s no secret that Jayson Tatum grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant fan. Tatum has never hid that fact when discussing his basketball journey. However, since entering the NBA, Tatum has become the Boston Celtics star player and is slowly etching his name into the history books. As such, his priorities, in terms of what team he supports, have drastically changed.

During a recent postgame news conference, Tatum was asked about the Lakers acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks and whether that would lead more people to watch the Purple and Gold. Rather than answering the question, Tatum quipped back that he’s more interested in people watching the Celtics because that’s the team now closest to his heart.

Tatum’s comments will undoubtedly have gone down well with Boston’s fan base. The St. Louis native has proven himself to be a top-five or top-seven player in the NBA over the past 18 months. Knowing that he loves the organization and the fan base means he’s likely to remain with the team for the foreseeable future.
