Three-pointers play a crucial role in the proceedings of an NBA game, especially the buzzer-beater ones. The Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry redefined the approach for an offensive player with his precision at 3-point baskets. Additionally, he famously built his reputation with several half-court throws. Moreover, Curry holds the record for the most number of 3-pointers scored in NBA history. However, the Dub star is just short of the record for the most three-pointer in a single game.

The Splash Brother Klay Thompson and Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard also have their fair share of contributions to the three-pointer column. Moreover, the duo has made it to the top 15 list for the most 3-point baskets scored in NBA history. Notably, Lillard impressed the NBA world with a 71-point game against the Houston Rockets in the current season with 13 three-pointers. Additionally, he won the three-pointer challenge in the NBA All-Star weekend, defeating stars like Jayson Tatum.
