As I was researching the all-time 3 pointers made in NBA history, I couldn't help but reflect on how the game has transformed since the three-point line was introduced back in 1979. Honestly, when you look at the numbers today, they're absolutely staggering - Stephen Curry recently surpassed Ray Allen's record of 2,973 career threes, and he's still adding to that total every game. What fascinates me most isn't just the raw numbers though, it's how these shooters have fundamentally changed basketball strategy worldwide.
I was reminded of this global impact when I came across that interesting bit about Tim Cone saying he'd supervise Gilas practice if the Gin Kings don't make the all-Filipino finals. It shows how the three-point revolution has spread far beyond the NBA, influencing coaching philosophies and practice routines across international basketball. The emphasis on long-range shooting has become universal, and frankly, I think this global adoption has accelerated the evolution of shooting techniques and training methods.
When ranking the greatest shooters in NBA history, I always find myself debating whether pure volume matters more than percentage. Sure, Curry has the numbers, but what about specialists like Steve Kerr who maintained a ridiculous 45.4% career three-point percentage? Or Reggie Miller, who revolutionized off-ball movement and clutch shooting? Personally, I'd take Curry in any all-time shooting discussion because he combines volume, difficulty of shots, and percentage in ways we've never seen before. His ability to create his own shot from anywhere beyond half-court is something that still blows my mind.
The conversation about all-time 3 pointers made inevitably leads to discussions about shooting form and mechanics. Having watched countless hours of game footage, I've noticed that the truly great shooters - the ones in that elite ranking - all share certain characteristics: quick release, consistent arc, and what I like to call "shot memory" that lets them keep shooting confidently even after multiple misses. Ray Allen probably had the most mechanically perfect jump shot I've ever seen, while Klay Thompson's catch-and-shoot technique is pure poetry in motion.
What many casual fans don't realize is how much the context of these records matters. The pace of today's game means players are attempting more threes than ever - teams are averaging about 34 three-point attempts per game compared to just 13 back in 2000. This makes the accomplishments of earlier shooters like Dale Ellis and Glen Rice even more impressive in my view. They were pioneers who proved the three-pointer could be a primary weapon rather than just a situational tool.
Looking at the current landscape, I'm convinced we're witnessing the golden age of three-point shooting. The ultimate ranking of basketball's greatest shooters keeps evolving as new players enter the league with shooting skills that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. Damian Lillard's deep range, Trae Young's floater-to-three combination, and Kevin Durant's height-defying shooting form are pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible. Honestly, I can't wait to see where the all-time 3 pointers made list stands in another five years as this shooting revolution continues to unfold across the NBA and beyond.
