5 NBA players with most games of 5+ three-pointers made

#3 Damian Lillard - 127

Damian Lillard of Team United States.

Damian Lillard is surely one of the most impressive shooters in today's NBA, as his range is seemingly unlimited from behind the three-point line. Lillard is certainly in the same ballpark as Curry in terms of shooting the ball from way beyond the arc, including the logo in the center of the court.

Lillard is a 37.5% shooter from the three-point line in his career, a percentage that is impacted by some of the shots he takes that would be ill-advised for others, but work for him.

Throughout his nine-year career, the six-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA player has made 2,051 three-pointers, which already puts him 10th in the all-time list.

#2 James Harden - 164

James Harden #13 of the Brooklyn Nets.

James Harden is one of the most unique offensive players in NBA history because of his versatility. Of course, his high usage rate helps him score and have lots of assists per game, but he's a great passer too.

Moreover, Harden's 'step-back' three-pointer has become a brand of its own, and his high-volume three-point shooting is off the charts. A three-time scoring champion in his career, 'The Beard' has had 164 games with at least five three-pointers made.

While Stephen Curry sitting second on the all-time list of threes is mentioned continuously as an impressive feat, Harden (who came into the league at the same time as Curry) is already fifth on the list with 2,445 three-pointers and deserves a lot of credit too.

#1 Stephen Curry - 262

Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors shoots a three-pointer.

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history for many players, analysts and coaches. He is simply a different player, not just a different three-point shooter.

Curry is probably to blame for the NBA turning its offensive systems outside-in. His brilliant three-point shooting is particularly impressive because he is not only a high-volume shooter, he also has the seventh-best career three-point percentage in NBA history, even though his attempts per game are a whopping 8.6.

He has made 43.3% of his three-point field goals in his regular-season career. As mentioned above, he ranks second in the all-time list of threees made in the regular season, but he already is the leader in the NBA Playoffs.

Curry also has a whopping 262 games with at least five three-pointers made, the most in NBA history and almost 100 more than the second-placed player.
