    He's on pace to pace the next six guys on the list (Lebron included) and should be sitting at 19th by the end of the season. When you consider that Allen made 2.3 3-pointers per game over his entire career and James has made 2.4 per game over his entire career (a number that has increased every single season of his career), Harden will likely pass every player other than Curry. Although at the rate Klay Thompson is hitting them, Harden may get passed up at some point in his career or shortly after he retires.

    Looks like he'll pass Nash this year at the age of 28. Not bad. Curry is super impressive! Different type of player but impressive.

    All of these guys will be passed by the young guys eventually, too.
    Devin Booker already makes 2.6 3's a game, in his age 21 season, something Harden didn't surpass until 3 years ago - his age 25 season.
    Markkanen makes 2.3 a game in his age 20 rookie season.

    It's not that important, but Harden is on pace to have 1695 3PM by the end of the season. That pace puts him at 10 3PM above Nash at season's end for whatever that's worth.

    Nash was a helluva 3 point shooter so I think that's pretty cool.

    Exactly. This has more to do with the amount of 3 pointers taken now than anything else. It's still another stat that shows what we already know- Harden is damn good.

    An your even forgetting Markelle Fultz's averages once he can extend his arm over his head again(whenever that may be).

    You're assuming that Curry's crispy ankles hold up... Twig boy may not play as many seasons as Harden.
