By connecting on the shot, George moved his career total to 2,451 successful three-pointers, officially surpassing Kyle Korver. The milestone moment served as a highlight during a productive first half for the veteran forward, who contributed 17 points before the halftime break in his first game wearing a Celtics uniform.
Chasing Further Milestones
Following this latest advancement, George now sets his sights on the next name on the leaderboard. He currently trails Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, who holds seventh place on the all-time list with 2,560 career three-pointers. George’s performance against Detroit underscores his continued effectiveness as a perimeter threat as he begins this new chapter of his career in Boston.
The transition into the top eight represents a notable progression for the forward, who has consistently been among the league's most prolific shooters throughout his tenure. With his debut performance already yielding a statistical climb, attention will now turn to how quickly he can bridge the gap to Miller in the coming games of the season.
