In addition to his scoring prowess, Harden has made a significant mark in the realm of three-point shooting. With 3,477 career three-pointers, he now stands as the second-most prolific three-point shooter in NBA history.
Only Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors' star guard and one of the greatest shooters of all time, surpasses him with 3,889 three-pointers.
