The NBA is in the middle of a three-point revolution.

In the first season that this line appeared on the court (1979-80 season), only 3.1% of the league’s field goal percentage came from the city center. Ten years ago, this figure was as high as 22.2%. Last season, it climbed all the way to 35.9%.

If a player makes 45% of 100 three-pointers, he can get 1.35 points per shot. Assuming that the league averages 35%, that is 1.05 points per attempt. The shooter is 0.3 points higher than the average score per attempt. Multiply that by 100 attempts and you will be 30 points above average.

1. Stephen Curry

Three-Point Attempts: 5,690 (Eighth)
Three-Point Percentage: 43.6 (Third)
Points Above Average from Three: 1,365.6

Of course, you are not surprised. No one in NBA history combines capacity and efficiency like Stephen Curry. However, with a lot of time left in his career, he has achieved such a big lead on the court, which is still remarkable.

Again, this exercise has nothing to do with difficulty. Curry often shoots, which is something other players on the roster may never dream of in their days of playing.

As the greatest shooter of all time, he began to forcefully talk about the greatest player in history.

2. Kyle Korver

Three-Point Attempts: 5,478 (11th)
Three-Point Percentage: 42.9 (Sixth)
Points Above Average from Three: 1,185.8

It may not be surprising that Kyle Korver finished second. The gap between him and Allen may need to be re-examined.

Maybe this is a case of winning the game slowly and steadily.

Korver played only one season, averaging more than 10 shots per game. But for 16 years, he has been the league leader in three-pointers. He took full advantage of these limited attempts.

In his career, 61% of his shots were three-pointers. He led the league in three-pointers four times, including in the 2009-10 season, he shot 53.6% from downtown for the Utah Jazz.

With the constant threat of Korver hitting the dagger from the outside, his team always feels better when he is on the court. During these 16 years, when he was not on the court, his team’s net score was negative 0.3, and when he was on the court, his net score was positive 3.5 (with a positive 3.8 fluctuation). In the 2014-15 season alone, the Atlanta Hawks scored 13.7 points per 100 possessions.

3. Ray Allen

Three-Point Attempts: 7,429 (First)
Three-Point Percentage: 40.0 (38th)
Points Above Average from Three: 988.9

We have reached the club leader in career three-pointers (2,973).

In the 1990s, 2000s, and most of the 2010s, Ray Allen was regarded as the standard bearer for outside shooting.

In the first four seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, he averaged 18.1 points per game and made 38.8% of his 3-pointers. In the 2006-07 season of the Seattle SuperSonics, he ranked among the best with an average of 26.4 points per game, played a smaller role in the winning Boston Celtics game, and played a minor role in the 2012-13 season in the Miami Heat The team made one of the most famous shots of the game.

As time ends in the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, Miami is close to completing what the finals team can achieve. After Chris Bosh’s offensive rebound, Allen retreated to the corner, caught the big man’s pass, blocked his face with his hand, and evened the three-pointer. The Heat will continue to win the series against the San Antonio Spurs.

Allen is not just a shooter, but it is this ability and the moments he provides that make him the most memorable.

Like Thompson’s, his shots are one of the shots that will appear in instructional videos in the next few years. His feet, elbows, follow-up and elevation angles are so consistent.

4. Reggie Miller

Three-Point Attempts: 6,486 (Second)
Three-Point Percentage: 39.5 (46th)
Points Above Average from Three: 915.4

Few shooters in NBA history approach the game with confidence and bluffing as Reggie Miller boasts. In an era where the shooting percentage was 14.5%, it was three-pointers. Miller’s three-pointer percentage was 37.1.

His jump shot is different from what we have seen from other players in these discussions. His leader flew to his leader’s side. He often loses his balance. But arguing with the result is impossible. He is a case study where repetition is more important than form.

In his career, there are few moments in his career that illustrate this ability and the above-mentioned confidence like the legendary 8 points in 9 seconds.

5. Klay Thompson

Three-Point Attempts: 4,291 (21st)
Three-Point Percentage: 41.9 (11th)
Points Above Average from Three: 810

Klay Thompson played in the NBA for eight seasons. In all eight players, his three-pointer percentage exceeded 40%. His rookie season was the only season where he made fewer than 200 three-pointers.

These numbers may not even be the most impressive part of Clay’s resume. Few (if any) jumpers go beyond this aesthetically.

It’s almost the same every time. Whether he blocks the screen from the bottom corner, cuts the elevator from the inside, dribbles into the three-pointer, or completes any other type of action, Thompson’s catching and shooting styles are very stable. His shoulders are square, his right elbow is about 90 degrees, and the back pass is pure.

When he enters an area, there are few things like this in basketball history. In fact, his 37 points in a single quarter used to be and still is unprecedented.

At those moments, this Splash Brother looked like a machine specially designed for jump shots.
