James Harden Becomes Second All-Time Three-Point Shooter

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden made NBA history by surpassing Ray Allen for second place on the all-time three-pointers made list, achieving 2,974 career threes during a game against the Utah Jazz. This milestone was reached in 215 fewer games than Allen, but Harden still trails Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who leads with 3,782. Harden's shooting style has emphasized high volume, averaging 7.5 attempts per game over his career, which has contributed to his success. Despite his achievements, Harden humorously downplayed Curry's dominance in a recent comment, suggesting that he considers himself the top shooter. Harden, a former MVP and multiple-time All-Star, continues to solidify his legacy in the league as he approaches retirement. His accomplishment highlights a significant shift in the NBA's three-point shooting landscape over the years.
