How many career 3s does Giannis have?

The “Greek Freak,” who is correctly named so due to his freakish physical abilities coupled with his movement on the basketball court, is one of the most dominant players in the NBA today. At 29 years old, Giannis Antetokounmpo still has some very good years of basketball left in him. Even so, he is a force that cannot be stopped easily on the court and has already tasted the glory of becoming an NBA champion.

Antetokounmpo’s physical attributes such as his height, wingspan, large hands, speed, and movement allow him to rack up double-digit rebounds, nearly half a dozen assists, and average over one steal and one block per game. In the 2023/24 NBA season, Giannis averaged 30.4 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.

However, the fact of the matter is that Giannis has been the most dominant player in the paint for many years now. But it is his outside shooting that has been the thorn in his side until more recently. He has improved his mid-range and 3-point scoring over the past few years, but he hasn’t yet reached the same level that other big players in the league have. That said, let us now see how he fared when it comes to his 3-point scoring.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Career 3s

According to Basketball Reference, Giannis has made 528 3-pointers in his basketball career, as of October 2024. This is from his debut season till the end of the 2023-24 NBA season. The Bucks forward made only 34 3-point field goals in the 2023/24 season. Furthermore, his 3-point percentage is quite low at 28.6%.

The 6-foot-11 Greek Freak is not one to take many 3-point shots. In fact, when he was new in the league he took considerably fewer threes than now. He has developed his shooting from outside the paint and even beyond the arc, but he is still not at the same standard as most of his contemporaries in this regard.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Shooting

Since his entry in the league from 2013 onwards, Giannis has not been known to be a scoring machine and a lights-out shooter. He has, though, worked on his weaknesses and has gotten better as the seasons have passed. While his 3-point shooting still needs more work and consistency, the two areas where he has shown improvement are his free throws and mid-range game.

With a little more effort, there is no doubt that the 8 x NBA All-Star and 8 x NBA All-NBA can’t get better at his shooting game. At 29 years of age, Giannis still has plenty of time before he is done playing, and till then he even has a couple of years to peak.
