James Harden is one of the greatest offensive weapons in NBA history, and his versatility on the offensive end is unique. Harden has had three games with at least 10 three-pointers made.

Though he is a scoring machine, Harden is quite a good distributor as well. He has led the league in assists and is currently the leading passer in the 2020-21 NBA season.

Though it seems like a small number compared to the top of the list, Harden can definitely take over the game from beyond the arc and is a nuclear scorer in today's league.

The former NBA MVP has made 36% of his three-point attempts since his NBA career started in 2009, and has the fifth-largest tally of threes made in NBA history (2379).


#4 Damian Lillard - 3 games with 10+ three-pointers made

A tremendous scorer, Damian Lillard might be on pace to break some records from a three-point shooting standpoint. Lillard can score with efficiency from range, and his arsenal of three-pointers has no regard for any distance.

Lillard can make three-pointers from almost half-court with some consistency, and he is a big threat to any defense in today's league.

He has had three games with at least 10 three-pointers made, all of which came in the last three seasons.

Lillard's career-high for most threes in a single game is 11, which he achieved twice in the 2019-20 NBA season.


#5 JR Smith - 3 games with 10+ three-pointers made

This one might be surprising, as JR Smith makes this list ahead of some other legendary shooters like Ray Allen or Reggie Miller (the game is different now, of course) and scorers of today's game like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.

JR Smith has had three games with 10+ three-pointers, and all occurred prior to the league's three-point revolution (between 2009 and 2014).

Moreover, two of those came with the Denver Nuggets while he was coming off the bench.
