5 active NBA players with most games of scoring at least one 3-pointer: Where does Stephen Curry feature?

#3 Carmelo Anthony - 774 games

Carmelo Anthony joined the NBA in 2003 as the third overall pick. To be able to make the third spot on this list, Melo had only two more such games than Redick. The former New York Kicks star has signed with the Lakers to play alongside Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook in the upcoming 2021-22 NBA season.

Melo is widely considered one of the greatest isolation players of the modern era. He won one scoring title and appeared in the NBA All-Star six-times. In today's rankings, he is placed below James Harden after having scored at least one three-pointer in 774 of his 1191 career games.

#2 James Harden - 782 games

James Harden began to rise through the ranks in the league as a scorer post his stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder. During his tenure with the Houston Rockets, he bloomed into a full-fledged mercenary out for blood each night.

He is one of the greatest three-point shooters of our era and has given Curry a run for his money in several seasons. He won three back-to-back scoring titles from 2017-18 to 2019-20. He joins this list with the least career games amongst the top 5 players in the list.

Out of his 877 career games, Harden has landed at least one beyond the arc shot in 782 games. He has the best ratio on the list but is still placed second on the list.

#1 LeBron James - 942 games

LeBron James is a mile ahead of Harden or anybody else on this list. Frankly, it seems logically impossible for anyone in the current league to ever beat King James in this comparison. Out of his 1310 total games played, James has scored at least one three-pointer in 942 games. That translates to 160 more games than Harden's record.

LeBron has consistently wowed the league and its fans since his arrival in the NBA. He is widely considered to be one of the top three players of all time. The four-time NBA champion, four-time MVP, four-time Finals MVP, and 17-time All-Star will again try and win his fifth championship in the 2021-22 NBA season.
