As I sat watching the Golden State Warriors game last night, watching Steph Curry sink yet another three-pointer with that effortless flick of his wrist, I found myself wondering about the all-time greats in this category. Having followed the NBA for over two decades, I've witnessed how the three-point shot has evolved from a novelty to arguably the most important weapon in modern basketball. The conversation about who has made the most three-pointers in NBA history isn't just about numbers—it's about how these players fundamentally changed the game we love.
When I first started seriously tracking NBA statistics in the early 2000s, Ray Allen was the name everyone associated with three-point shooting excellence. His picture-perfect form was what coaches would show young players, including myself when I briefly coached high school basketball. Allen finished his incredible career with 2,973 three-pointers, a number that seemed untouchable at the time. But then came Stephen Curry, who didn't just break records—he shattered them in a way that made us rethink what was possible from beyond the arc. As of writing this, Curry has surpassed 3,500 three-pointers and shows no signs of slowing down, which is absolutely mind-blowing when you consider the degree of difficulty on many of his shots.
What many casual fans might not realize is how much the three-point landscape has changed. When Reggie Miller—another legend in this conversation with 2,560 career threes—was playing, the three-pointer was often a secondary option. Today, it's the foundation of most offensive schemes. I remember watching Miller's iconic playoff performances where he'd break the Knicks' hearts with clutch threes, but even he wouldn't attempt the volume of shots that today's players regularly take from deep. The game has transformed completely, and players like Curry are both products and drivers of this evolution.
The international influence on three-point shooting deserves mention too, which brings me to that interesting bit from the knowledge base about Cone supervising Gilas practice. While international players haven't yet topped the NBA's all-time three-point list, the global game has embraced the three-pointer with equal fervor. The Philippine basketball scene, much like the NBA, recognizes the strategic importance of perimeter shooting. Watching how different basketball cultures approach the same shot really highlights how universal this aspect of the game has become.
Looking beyond the obvious names, I've always had a soft spot for Kyle Korver, who might not have the total numbers of Curry or Allen but possessed what I consider the purest shooting form I've ever seen. His 2,437 career threes came with a remarkable efficiency that sometimes gets overlooked in today's volume-shooting discussions. And we can't forget James Harden's contribution to this conversation—his step-back three has become as iconic as it is frustrating for defenders. The beauty of the three-point revolution is that it has allowed for different shooting styles to thrive.
As much as I respect the pioneers, I have to admit Curry has made the most compelling case for being not just the greatest shooter, but possibly the most influential player of his generation. The way he shoots from what we used to consider "bad shots" territory has forced defenses to stretch beyond logical limits. His impact goes beyond mere numbers—though his numbers are staggering enough—and has fundamentally altered how basketball is played at every level. From youth leagues to professional teams overseas, everyone wants their own version of Steph Curry.
The future of three-point shooting looks brighter than ever, with young stars like Luka Dončić and Trae Young already building impressive resumes from deep. But catching Curry's eventual final number? That's a mountain that might remain unconquered for generations. The evolution from specialists like Dale Ellis to all-around threats like Damian Lillard represents not just statistical progression, but the beautiful maturation of basketball itself. As someone who's loved this game since childhood, I feel privileged to have witnessed this three-point revolution unfold in real time.
