Just before Stephen Curry broke the NBA’s career 3-point record, his teammate Draymond Green claimed it would be broken within five to six years of Curry’s retirement. Green argues that due to the increased volume of 3-point attempts by players like Trae Young and Donovan Mitchell, the record might fall. However, as the calculations show, Curry’s efficiency and historical performance make it less likely anyone will come close to his tally.

Curry’s current estimate stands around 5,000 career 3-pointers. Despite the big volume changes in the game, breaking his record would require either a player matching his miraculous shooting ability or just . For instance, Jayson Tatum, Luka Dončić, and Anthony Edwards are highlighted as potential players who might be able to challenge this record with certain conditions, but it remains a monumental task.

The reality is that Curry has changed the game significantly, making the challenge to his record very difficult. Those looking to break it will need a combination of longevity, skill, and favorable circumstances over their careers.

“Good luck to all chasers. You’re going to need it.”
