Unforgettable Threes: James Harden

#1 Number of all time three-pointers

First of all, congratulations to the Beard for doing what he does. Having the kinds of numbers that he does is not the work of a mere mortal. Secondly, congratulations on making it to #16 on the list of all-time threes.

While the Rockets were playing Miami Heat in mid-December, James Harden made his 1761st three-pointers, pushing him to 16th on the list of the number of career threes made and pushed him over NBA veteran Peja Stojakovic. Harden has just made his way into his 10th year of basketball and has already established himself to become an all-time great shooter.

By the end of the season at the rate that he is going, he could possibly be up to 13th or even 12th position. He also has the chance of passing Dirk Nowitzki and JR Smith considering that his number of threes per game is significantly higher than these two's.

This just comes back to show how much the game has changed and how single playing styles have made these changes possible. The number of top 20 all-time three-point shooters that are currently active is unbelievable.

All we can say is that there are many more incredible threes to come.
