How difficult is it to score 300+ three-pointers in a single season? There are only 5 players in NBA history, and Curry has achieved his unique 6 times

The NBA has developed to this day, and many top three-point shooters have emerged in history, such as Ray Allen in the early days. He is the best in this field. He also scored 2,973 three-pointers in 18 seasons of his career. Therefore, when he retired, he was also ranked first in the history of the three-point list. However, as we pay more and more attention to three-pointers in the game, we have seen more outstanding scorers. This season alone has 23 players who can average at least 3+ three-pointers per game, including inside centers like Wenban Yama. However, so far, looking at NBA history, there are still only five players who have scored at least 300 three-pointers in a single season. So let’s take a look at who they are. Curry has achieved this feat 6 times!

5. Beasley

2024-2025 season: 319 records

In the first two seasons of his career, Beasley was unable to show his strength because he failed to enter the team rotation. In those two years, he averaged 3-point shooting averages and could not even reach 1. However, since the third year, Beasley entered the rotation immediately after entering the rotation. He averaged 11.3 points per game that season and averaged 2 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 40.2%.

Later, Beasley played better and better. At his peak, he averaged 19.6 points per game in the Timberwolves, and averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game on the outside with a shooting rate of 39.9%. However, since he only played 36 games in the regular season that season, his last three-point shooting was only frozen at 128. Later, Beasley joined the Jazz, Lakers, and Bucks, but he never broke out again during this period. It was not until he joined the Pistons this season that he had a second spring.

Beasley averaged 16.3 points per game this season, and averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of 41.6%. He also played 82 games in the regular season, so his total three-point shooting also successfully exceeded 300+. As one of the best shooters in the regular season this season, Beasley's shooting greatly alleviated the problem of constipation in the Pistons' offensive. Moreover, unlike ordinary shooters who can only shoot at a fixed point, he has higher-level shooting skills, which allows him to average 3.3 three-pointers per game this year's playoffs. Therefore, it is also very important whether the Pistons can keep Beasley in the offseason.

4. Edwards

2024-2025 season: 320

Because Edwards often performs explosive dunks on the court, what impressed him most at the beginning was his physical fitness, but in fact, he has shown his talent in shooting since he entered the league. He averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game in his rookie season. Although Edwards' performance on the outside has fluctuated and fluctuated later, three-pointers have undoubtedly been one of the most important scoring methods for him. After losing to the Mavericks last year, he will continue to improve three-pointers in the offseason as his top priority.

Now, Edwards' special training effect is still very significant. This season he has evolved again, averaging 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a per game hitting a career high, which is undoubtedly due to his accurate performance on the outside. In the regular season, Edwards averaged 4.1 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 39.5%, and this season only Curry averaged more three-pointers than him in the regular season. However, with his attendance advantage, Edwards still ranked first in the league in total three-point shooting.

The most important thing is that many of Edwards' three-pointers come from difficult three-pointers, which is even more rare. After all, not every shooter can play such a three-pointer with the ball. In addition to Edwards, Curry and Harden have probably performed like this in the current service. In addition, although this is the first time Edwards has achieved such an achievement, considering that he is only 23 years old, he still has a lot of opportunities to break his record in the future.

3. Thompson

2022-2023 season: 301 draws

As one of the "Splash Brothers", Thompson's three-pointers are his most powerful weapon, and he has shown his talent in this area since his debut in the NBA. In his rookie season, he averaged 1.7 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 41.4%. Thompson's three-pointers came from off-ball than his teammate Curry at that time, so he seemed like a purer shooter in comparison.

With the help of Thompson, the Warriors were able to win the championship many times, but in 2019 he first suffered a torn cruciate ligament and then his Achilles tendon broke, which made the outside world no longer optimistic about his condition after his return. Later, in the 2021-2022 season, Thompson helped the team win the championship again in his first year of his comeback, and averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game in the playoffs.

In the regular season of the 2022-2023 season, Curry missed a large number of games and Thompson took on more scoring tasks. Therefore, he averaged 21.9 points per game this year and averaged 4.4 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 41.2%. In this way, he also successfully ushered in the first season in which the total three-point shooting in the regular season exceeded 300+. But now, this may be Thompson's final peak. As he gets older, his decline is becoming more and more obvious.

2. Harden

2018-2019 season: 378 records

As one of the strongest guards at the peak of the current service, Harden, who once played for the Rockets, once played at the league's No. 1 scorer level, so he won the regular season scoring champion for three consecutive years and won the MVP in 2018.. At that time, Harden was best at three tricks: breaking through, fouls, and taking three-pointers. Among them, his three-pointers with a step back were so powerful that some opponents had to stand behind him to defend, which was the only one in NBA history.

In the regular season of the 2018-2019 season, Harden averaged 36.9 points per game, which is also the highest record for players' average scores in a single season since Jordan. That year, Harden averaged 4.8 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 36.8%, which seemed to be very efficient, but considering that most of his shots were against the defense and held the ball, this was already very perverted. Harden played 78 games in the regular season that year, and in the end he scored 378 three-pointers, which was also the best regular season three-point performance among other players except Curry.

1. Curry

2015-2016 season: 402 marks

2016-2017 season: 324 marks

2018-2019 season: 354 marks

2020-2021 season: 337 marks

2023-2024 season: 357 marks

2024-2025 season: 311 marks

Since the Warriors straightened Curry in 2012-2013 season, he has quickly ushered in his rise, and under his leadership, the Warriors quickly won the championship. In the 2015-2016 season, Curry even played a historical regular season performance. That year, he averaged 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game, and from outside the three-point line, he averaged 5.1 shots with a shooting rate of 45.4%, which greatly changed the record of total three-point shooting in a single season.

As long as Curry stays healthy, he can basically score at least 300+ three-pointers in the regular season every year. Even though he is 37 years old this season, he can still average 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the regular season, and he can still make 4.4 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 39.7%. In addition, Curry's total three-point shooting in the regular season this season has exceeded 4,000. He is the only player in history to achieve this feat, and it is difficult for anyone to replicate this performance in the future.
