Top 5 current NBA three-point leaders, with Thompson ranking fifth! The leader at the top remains unrivaled

Basketball, a dynamic and transformative sport, is in full swing basking in the glory of the three-point shot. Whether in the NBA or other leagues, three-point shooting has become a key element of the game, virtually deciding the winner. It's hard to get a foothold in the modern basketball league without a solid three-point shot, unless you're a great center like O'Neal, but that's pretty rare in today's basketball. As a result, the three-point shot has become an indispensable skill, and it seems like every player has the potential to be a marksman.

Now, let's meet the five players who have made the most three-pointers in the NBA so far.

Number 5: Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson's career has been somewhat disrupted by injuries, however, without those injuries, he should have at least 300 more three-point field goals by now. Currently, he has made 2,207 three-pointers, which places him 11th on the NBA's all-time list. Located ahead of him is Jamal Crawford with 2,221 three-pointers, but Thompson could easily pass him next season. Despite the fact that the pressure on him on the defensive end has waned, Thompson is still one of the most prominent three-point shooters in the league. Without so many injury concerns, Thompson, now 33, is fully expected to make 3,000 three-pointers in the future.

Number 4: LeBron James

Many believe that LeBron James is a breakout-oriented player whose shooting ability is not his strong suit. However, until 2011, James' shooting had been less than consistent. But in that year, after suffering a loss, James started practicing his shooting hard. Nowadays, his three-point shooting has reached an elite level, or at least no player dares to put him 3 meters away anymore. He has made 2,261 three-pointers, and in recent seasons, he has been very efficient with his "cold arrow" three-pointers. As long as he stays healthy and plays until he's 40, he's on track to make 2,500 three-pointers, which isn't an unrealistic goal.

Number 3: Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard didn't actually have to leave the Portland Trail Blazers because even if he had, it wouldn't have necessarily won him a championship. Instead, he chose to stay, one man at a time, and that steadfastness has really added up for him. Although he has won relatively few hardware honors in his career, his three-point ability is formidable, averaging 3.1 threes per game. As of now, he has managed to make 2,387 three-pointers and is on track to achieve the feat of 3,000 three-pointers if he is able to stay healthy and retire at the age of 38.

Second: James Harden

James Harden leaving the Houston Rockets was arguably a mistake, if he had stayed with the Rockets then he would have surpassed 3,000 three-pointers a long time ago. Currently, Ha Harden has made 2,754 three-pointers, which is No. 3 on the NBA's all-time list, and it's only a matter of time before he passes Ray Allen, who is No. 2. Reaching 3,000 3-pointers won't be a problem for Ha Harden, and even with the drop in 3-point percentage, averaging 2 3-point field goals isn't difficult. At the earliest, he will be able to achieve this feat within the next 2 seasons.

No. 1: Stephen Curry

The top spot on the list is unrivaled because Stephen Curry is currently the only player to have made 3,000 3-pointers. And, crucially, his number of three-point field goals is far from set; he's still on the tail end of his peak form. Averaging four threes a game is very easy for him. With his current form, he's on track to increase his three-point field goals to 4,000 before he retires, at which point his status as one of the greatest three-point shooters of all time will be unquestioned.

Summarize:

Now that the NBA three-point era is in full swing, the three-point abilities of these five stars are undoubtedly among the best. As time goes on, each of them is expected to leave an even more illustrious chapter on the NBA's all-time list, while continuing to push this exciting sport to new heights. Whether it's Thompson, James, Lillard, Ha Harden or Curry, they are all legends in today's basketball world, and their three-point firepower has not only changed the game, but has influenced the entire culture of basketball.
