With the lead that Curry currently holds and showing no signs of slowing down, it is tough to see fellow veteran players catching him. Let’s take a closer look at the top 10 on that list and see which players may have a shot at catching Curry. The 14 players with the highest 3-pointers made per game are all active players before we get to Allen at No. Let’s go back to the all-time leaderboard for 3-pointers made, but rather than track totals we’ll look at per-game averages instead. Which current players will have a shot at catching him in the future? Which Players Will Eventually Challenge Curry?Īssuming Curry does catch and pass Allen to establish a new record for career 3-pointers, there are two lingering questions that will remain: 1. And it’s also the reason why Curry will be the first player to eclipse 3,000 career 3-pointers made and will set the standard that all other shooters will have to chase. It’s his combination of high volume and incredible accuracy that are the key reasons why Stephen Curry needed only 715 games to surpass the career total that Miller accumulated over 1,389 games. 2 is his younger brother Seth (44.9%), who is shooting a league-best 59.6% this season from 3 for the Philadelphia 76ers. 1 is his head coach Steve Kerr (45.4%) and No. 1 Draft pick Zion Williamson gets caught up in a $100m lawsuitĬurry has a strong connection with the top two players on the all-time 3-point percentage list: No. Curry’s 43.3% career 3-point percentage ranks seventh all-time and leads all players ranked in the top 200 in 3-pointers made. The reason Curry is nearly universally regarded as the greatest shooter of all time is that he matches his high volume with historic accuracy.Ĭurry is a career 43.3% shooter from 3-point range, compared to 39.5% for Miller and 40.0% for Allen. By comparison, Miller’s career-high in 3-point attempts for a season was 6.6 in 1996-97 (3 rd in NBA), while Allen’s was 8.4 in 2005-06 (1 st in NBA by 1.6 3PA).īut Curry’s rise is not only attributed to a higher volume of 3-point attempts. Over the past six seasons, Curry has averaged at least 9.8 3-point attempts per game each year and has three seasons averaging at least 11 3s per game. While Miller and Allen utilized the 3-point shot as part of their game, Curry was part of a 3-point revolution thanks to his shooting ability and a rising emphasis on the 3-point shot. What separates Curry from Miller and Allen is the pace at which he has climbed the all-time leaderboard. Our guy congratulated Steph after he moved into 2nd place on the all-time 3PM list. “You are an inspiration to so many little ones like mine.”
