Donyell Marshall isn't exactly heartbroken about Stephen Curry taking away his 3-point record. When Curry became the first player in NBA history to make 13 3-pointers in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, Marshall wasn't surprised. He's just like the rest of us.

In an interview with ESPN's Matt Walks, Marshall said that his son texted him when Curry had 10 3-pointers at the end of the third quarter and he found out that Curry had broken the record when he went to the bathroom at 2 a.m. and checked his phone. He added that fans should notice how Curry reads the defense and appreciate how much work he puts into practicing "these oh-my-god shots" that other players wouldn't dare attempt:

Asked if he was at all melancholy about losing his share of the record, Marshall shook his head.

"It would be one thing if it was somebody you didn't expect. But this dude? The way he shoots, the freedom he has? It's not surprising."

Still, Marshall appreciates that the years have been kind to his record.

"I got more publicity from Steph breaking my record than I did when I set it."

Maybe there's a competitive part of Marshall that wishes he still had the record, which was shared with Curry and Kobe Bryant until Monday. He would've had to be delusional, though, to think that he could hold onto it for much longer. If Curry needed to play in more fourth quarters last season, this probably would have happened already.

Bryant, by the way, has not commented on Curry's feat.
