It’s a testament to Curry’s greatness that Harden may retire as the second-best outside shooter in the history of the league and still not even be the best one in his own draft class. The Golden State Warriors star has 3,747 career three-pointers and doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all considering he led the league with 357 last season.
It was the eighth time the future Hall of Famer led the league in his illustrious career, and it’s a safe bet he will do so again in 2024-25 if he remains healthy.
After all, Curry has five of the top six single-season marks for made three-pointers, including the record 402 he hit in 2015-16.
Harden actually has the second-highest mark with 378 from the 2018-19 campaign.
He will also surely pass Allen’s mark at some point this season. He made 186 triples in 2023-24 and figures to assume an even bigger offensive role to start the campaign with Kawhi Leonard sidelined.
But it’s going to take a lot more than a larger offensive role for the Clippers for him to challenge Curry’s three-point shooting records.
