Three-pointers made: 437 Three-pointers attempted: 986 Three-point percentage: 44.3% In this case, talent does run in the family, Seth Curry, son of former NBA player Dell Curry and brother to our number one on this list, Stephen Curry, was signed by the Kings mainly for his ability to shoot from the outside, which was the team’s weakness.
Curry, who is considered to be a “shooting guard trapped in a point guard’s body,” recently scored a career-high 37 points and 8-9 from the three-point line against Miami Heat.
Steve Novak
Three-pointers made: 575 Three-pointers attempted: 1337 Three-point percentage: 43% During the 2011-2012 season, Novak was the NBA regular-season leader in three-point percentage. He was both a small forward and a power forward, who won the ESPN college three-point shooting contest in 2006. Novak memorably scored a game-winning three-pointer in 2008 against the Sacramento Kings to win the game by two with just seconds left to the game. A move that kept the Rockets' historic 22-game winning streak alive.
That was his only basket in the entire game. He also scored a three-pointer at the buzzer while playing for the Clippers in 2009, which helped them beat the Nets by two.
Tim Legler
Three-pointers made: 260 Three-pointers attempted: 603 Three-point percentage: 44.7% 1995-1996 was Tim Legler’s season, in which he ranked first in the league in both 3-point field goal percentage and true shooting percentage. The impressive player won the 1996 Three-Point Shootout during All-Star Weekend. He also holds the record for a 3-round aggregate of (23, 22, and 20 out of 30 each) 65 points (out of 90).
Legler played professional basketball for ten years and was ranked 8th ever in three-point percentage, however, a knee injury eventually ended his career.
Hubert Davis
Three-pointers made: 728 Three-pointers attempted: 1651 Three-point percentage: 44.1% Hubert Davis is ranked 4th of all-time in a three-point shot percentage by NBA.com. He attended the University of North Carolina and still holds the UNC’s highest three-point percentage ever.
He played for the New York Knicks and ended up helping to win Game 5 of the 1994 Eastern conference semifinals against the Chicago Bulls with his free throws. Davis spent over a decade in the NBA and was a valued member of six teams.
Duncan Robinson
Three-pointers made: 250 Three-pointers attempted: 565 Three-point percentage: 44.2% Division III Rookie of the Year 2014, Duncan Robinson, made quite the impression while playing college ball for Michigan. He led the Big Ten Conference in three-point shooting percentage (.450) for a while, and during his college years, made several game-changing three-point shots in some major tournaments.
When he went on to play in the NBA for Miami, Robinson set records for three-point shots made in a quarter, as well as tying the record for three-point shots made in a game. In his second season, he also set a franchise record for most three-pointers made in a season. He also represented the Heat in the NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest.
