The NBA is currently in the offseason, and many fans are still very much looking forward to the new season coming soon. Because the personnel changes of each team this offseason are still very large, the league will show a different competitive situation next season. For some superstars, they will also usher in some new career records next season, such as Harden, who will have a major career record next season, which can also fully reflect Harden's excellent offensive ability.
Harden has hit 2,940 three-pointers in his career so far, ranking third all-time, followed by Curry and Ray Allen, respectively. Harden is just 34 short of surpassing second-place Ray Allen's record for total three-point shooting. Ray Allen hit a total of 2,973 three-pointers in his career. Based on Harden's average of 2.6 three-pointers per game last season, Harden only needs 13 games next season to surpass Ray Allen and successfully reach second place in history.
There is no doubt that this all-time record is indeed gratifying, considering that he has surpassed Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, both of whom are famous pitchers in the history of the league. This is a testament to Harden as an all-round scorer, and he is also outstanding in the field of three-point shooting as a person.
The reason why Harden was able to achieve such a high level in the field of three-point shooting is ultimately related to his peak performance during the Rockets period, when Harden's individual offense was basically difficult to be limited during the Rockets period. When he shoots from outside the three-point line, the opponent is often looking at the ball. There are even a lot of players who use some very extreme defensive styles when defending Harden. For example, Rubio actually defended behind Harden when defending him, in order to prevent Harden from stepping back and shooting three-pointers.
It can be seen that the three-point shot is a very important part of Harden's personal offensive arsenal, and he is also a very good shooter in the league. Although Harden has no chance to reach the top of history in the future, there is no chance to surpass Curry. But if he retired in second place in history when he retired, it would definitely be worth celebrating. And his all-time record is not so easy for young people to break in the future, because Harden's three-point production is very high, and if you want to break Harden's record, you must at least ensure a long career. And as uninjured as possible during a long career. This is definitely a big challenge for many young people.
