Reggie Miller sat courtside as an analyst for TNT as Ray Allen drilled two first-quarter three-pointers on Thursday night to surpass Miller as the NBA's all-time leader in made threes.

"I'm just so happy for him because this is one of the best guys," Miller said on the broadcast. "He's so humble, he's so giving, he's a great family man and I'm excited. This is great. This is great for the game of basketball. You know why? We're focusing and talking about shooting."

Miller has been cheering Allen on as he pursed the record, and the former Pacers star said people shouldn't be surprised.

"All records are made to be broken," Miller said. "I had a conversation with Ray earlier tonight and he was like, 'When I was a rookie and I came to Market Square Arena and I saw you for 3 to 3 1/2 hours before (the game) shooting, that's how I wanted to patent my game.' "
