#1 Stephen Curry- 23,360 Points
The NBA has seen so many legendary players over the years, as evidenced by the litany of players admitted in the Hall of Fame. Yet very few can claim to have fundamentally changed the game of basketball in a way that Stephen Curry has.
The league has seen many great three-point shooters before Curry, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen being amongst them. Yet none of those players were primary ball handlers for their team too, instead they operated as shooting guards.

What Curry did remarkably was to act as the point guard and still shoot limitless threes. No one in NBA history has consistently been better with off the dribble shooting.
Moreover, he expanded the court and the level of the game in a way. Very few players used to take shots which were more than one or two steps behind the three-point line. Curry (and now players of his generation) have started shooting from the edges of the logos from mid-court.
Now NBA teams and players alike look at three-point shooting as an indispensable skill and Curry is mainly responsible for this shift of dynamics.
While revolutionizing the game and changing the NBA forever, Curry has also scored a whole load of points. It may be surprising to see him relatively low on this list but when one considers his injuries and his relatively little time in the league (15 years now), then this position is incredibly impressive.
