Anthony Edwards may challenge Stephen Curry's 3-point record

Stephen Curry's record for the most career 3-pointers in the NBA remains strong, despite comments from his teammate Draymond Green. Green predicted that Curry’s record would be broken within five to six years of his retirement due to the increased volume of 3-point shooting in the league today. Curry holds the record at 4,008 made 3-pointers as of now, and he may aim for 5,000 by the end of his career. Estimates suggest he could achieve this if he plays until he is 40, averaging around 250 3-pointers per season. This would require consistent performance over the next few years. Several current players have been mentioned as potential challengers to Curry’s record. Trae Young and Donovan Mitchell have attempted many 3-pointers in their careers, but they struggle to match Curry's efficiency. Both have lower shooting percentages than Curry, who is known for his accuracy. Another player to consider is Anthony Edwards. He has started strong and, at age 23, could have the potential to reach high numbers if he keeps improving. Edwards currently shoots over 10 three-pointers per game at a 40% rate, but sustaining this performance over many seasons will be challenging. Overall, while some players could inch closer to Curry’s record, it is likely to remain intact for a long time. The combination of consistent high-volume shooting, accuracy, and longevity in the sport is a tough hill to climb.
