His name will be etched in NBA history no matter what. James Harden is one of the greatest offensive players of all time, and the fact that he has already climbed to second place on the all-time list of players with the most three-pointers made in the league enhances his legend. Can he reach the pinnacle?
There are many NBA statistics that can reflect a player's historical legacy, but the one with the most three-pointers made suits James Harden perfectly. The shooting guard for Los Angeles Clippers has already made an impressive 2,974 three-pointers in his career, surpassing a legend like Ray Allen and having only Stephen Curry ahead of him. Despite not having won a ring and facing criticism for his discipline, work ethic, and defensive rigor, it cannot be denied that the Beard has revolutionized modern basketball, and this record deserves all kinds of praise.
"I am one of the most self-confident players in the entire NBA, but I must admit that I see it very difficult to catch up to Curry," he said to the media after his team's game. The Warriors legend has made 3,782 three-pointers, and nothing suggests that he will slow down his progression in the short term. There is, therefore, an insurmountable gap between them, which does not diminish the merit or historical significance of the feat achieved by James Harden.
