The all-time leader in 3s made, Ray Allen sits at the top of the pile with 2,973 3s hit at a 40% clip in his 18 year NBA career. Allen led the league in 3s made thrice, was in the top 10 in makes 11 times and held the record for most 3s in a season before Steph Curry went bonkers.

While Allen had nights when he was absolutely unconscious from beyond the arc, one moment will forever stick out in the minds of everyone. In Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals, Allen hit what many consider the greatest clutch shot in NBA history. With the Heat trailing in the series 3-2 and down 3 late in the game, LeBron James missed a 3 pointer, but Chris Bosh managed to get the Rebound and passed it off to Allen, who stepped back and drilled the 3 with Tony Parker closing in on him. That shot saved the Heat who would win the game in OT and the series eventually in Game 7.
