As I sat watching the Golden State Warriors game last night, witnessing Steph Curry sink yet another three-pointer from what seemed like halfway to the parking lot, I found myself wondering about the all-time greats in this category. Having followed basketball religiously since the mid-90s, I've seen the game transform from a paint-dominated battle to a long-range shooting contest, and frankly, I love this evolution. The three-point shot has become basketball's great equalizer, allowing teams to climb back from deficits in minutes and creating highlight-reel moments that leave fans breathless.
When we talk about the most prolific three-point shooters in NBA history, the conversation absolutely begins with Ray Allen. I remember watching him play for the Milwaukee Bucks early in his career and thinking his shooting form was almost too perfect—like something out of a coaching manual. Allen retired with 2,973 three-pointers, a record that stood for years and seemed almost untouchable at the time. His clutch shooting, particularly that unforgettable shot in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals that saved Miami's championship hopes, cemented his legacy as one of the most cold-blooded shooters ever. What many casual fans might not realize is that Allen didn't just stand in the corner waiting for shots—he was constantly moving without the ball, using screens expertly, and maintaining perfect footwork regardless of how tightly defenders guarded him.
Then came Stephen Curry, who didn't just break Allen's record—he shattered it with what I can only describe as revolutionary shooting. As I write this, Curry has made over 3,500 three-pointers and shows no signs of slowing down. What fascinates me about Curry isn't just the volume but the degree of difficulty. He takes shots that would get most players benched—30-footers off the dribble, transition pull-ups with defenders in his face, absurd angles from near the logo. I've had arguments with fellow basketball purists who claim his shooting has made the game less interesting, but I completely disagree. Curry has forced defenses to extend to unprecedented ranges, opening up the court in ways we've never seen before. His impact goes beyond statistics—he's changed how basketball is played at every level.
The third spot belongs to another player I've always admired: James Harden with his step-back three that became virtually unguardable during his Houston years. Harden's 2,750-plus three-pointers came in a different fashion—more isolation-heavy, often creating his own shot rather than coming off screens like Allen or Curry. While I sometimes grew frustrated watching his free-throw hunting antics, there's no denying his shooting prowess, particularly from beyond the arc. Reggie Miller, who held the record before Allen, deserves special mention too—his 2,560 threes were remarkable considering the era he played in, when the three-pointer was still viewed by many coaches as somewhat of a gimmick rather than a foundational offensive weapon.
Interestingly, while researching this piece, I came across news about Tim Cone potentially supervising Gilas practice if the Gin Kings don't make the all-Filipino finals. This caught my attention because Cone, one of basketball's most successful coaches, has always emphasized offensive systems that create high-percentage shots. It makes me wonder how he'd approach coaching in today's NBA, where three-point shooting has become so central to offensive schemes. Having watched his teams execute with such precision over the years, I suspect he'd find ways to integrate long-range shooting without abandoning the fundamental basketball principles he's always valued.
Looking at the current landscape, what excites me most is seeing how the three-point revolution continues to evolve. Players like Damian Lillard and Klay Thompson are climbing the all-time lists rapidly, each bringing their unique style to long-range shooting. Thompson's catch-and-shoot technique is arguably the quickest release I've ever seen, while Lillard's range extends so far that defenders have to pick him up as soon as he crosses half-court. The record will likely continue to change hands multiple times in the coming years, which only adds to the excitement for fans like me who appreciate both the art and science of shooting. The three-pointer has transformed from a supplementary weapon to the centerpiece of modern offenses, and I'm here for every moment of this beautiful evolution.
