Stephen Curry made history at Madison Square Garden In New York on Tuesday when he became the NBA's all-time leading 3-pointer shooter, but it was Spike Lee who amused people after the game with his photography skills.

The legendary filmmaker and longtime New York Knicks fan took a seat on the court after the game and pulled out his camera phone, positioning himself behind Curry and taking several shots of the basketball star from a low angle as he conducted his postgame interview. 

Lee, who was clearly determined to get the perfect shot, was compared to an overly enthusiastic aunt at graduation. 

Some people wondered why Lee needed to take dozens of photos from behind Curry.

While some people thought Lee was doing too much, others said it's the kind of passion they expect from a filmmaker. 

Photographers can certainly relate with Lee, who showed a burning desire to capture the perfect shot during a monumental occasion.

Some people said they wish to get the same type of love from their family during their big moments in life. 

One person said Lee appeared to be doing a better job than some of the professional photographers on the court.

Lee eventually posted the photos he took and received praise for his work. 

Curry broke Ray Allen's record on Tuesday when he made the 2,974th 3-pointer of his career. The 33-year-old spoke about the impact he has made on the game.

“You see how many guys are shooting, or the volume of threes that are getting taken in a game, the way that teams are being constructed to use the three ball as a weapon,” Curry told Sports Illustrated. “So I definitely understand it. I don’t know how you quantify it. But it’s moreso just the feeling of, it’s a fun way to play the game, but you got to put the work in. And hopefully I can stand alone, with the body of work, when it’s all said and done. But definitely understand that things have changed drastically, and I have a lot to do with that.”
