Ray Allen
Total three-pointers: 2973/7429 (2.3/5.7)
Percentage: 40%
Games: 1300
Ray Allen can boast that he’s the king of threes since he’s at the top of the list of best shooters, with the inconceivable number of 2973 shots on target! In fact, if one considers that the charismatic shooting guard counts a total of 7429 attempts from 7.25, then the 40% with which he completed his career takes on even greater value.
The important three-pointers he has scored on the courts of the NBA are countless, but one of them produced his 2nd championship ring. It’s when the Heat went to… hell and back against the Spurs, and ultimately won the championship in overtime!

Kyle Korver
Total three-pointers: 2148/4975 (2.0/4.6)
Percentage: 43.2%
Games: 1071
Early on Tuesday morning, Kyle Korver climbed up to 4th place on the list of best three-point shooters of all time and at the rate, he’s scoring, it’s only a matter of time before he reaches number 3, Jason Terry.
However, special attention should be paid to his percentage! The charismatic guard for the Cavs has attempted a total of 4975 threes and 43.2% of those have hit the mark. In fact, of all the others on this list, no one else aside from Curry executes with such ease and frequency.
At 36 years of age, the veteran Korver is chasing the first ring of his career and despite the fact that he has been an All-Star only once (2015), the fans will remember him as one of the most dangerous hit men!

Klay Thompson
Total three-pointers: 1468/3480 (2.9/6.9)
Percentage: 42.2%
Games: 505
In any other team in the NBA, Klay Thompson would be the headliner! However, the amount of talent that exists in Golden State is so bountiful that the 27-year-old with the “poisonous” shot is playing in the shadow of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Thomspon isn’t one of the best three-point shooters of all time. Besides, his percentage (42.2%), the threes he scores (2.9 per game), the speed of execution and the way he moves on the court will vouch for that.
At this point, however, we should emphasize this: championship teams are built in such a way as to create the best possible conditions for their shooters. In fact, for someone to grasp the extent to which this era favors records in three-point shooting, one only has to consider the fact that Larry Bird attempted 1727 threes in his entre career, when Thompson counts 3480 in 6.5 seasons.
Check out the unforgettable three-point contest of 2016, with Thompson beating Curry!

Stephen Curry
Total three-pointers: 2033/4659 (3.4/7.7)
Percentage: 43.6%
Games: 602
There’s no need to say much about Stephen Curry! Almost two months before hitting 30 years of age, Golden State’s leader already counts 2033 three-pointers, with the mythical 43.6% from the perimeter but also 3.4 shots on target per game.
No other player has ever scored with such frequency and such ease from outside the 7.25! As is perfectly normal, he holds the Top 3 records in threes scored in a season, with 402 (2015/16), 326 (2016/17) and 286 (2014/15). On November 7, 2016, he made history by scoring 13 (!) threes in a single game…
