Might need some updating[edit]

Ray Allen is no longer in the league. The first line on this list is incorrect. Really brings the rest of the numbers into question. I realize the source data is a bit out of date, but shouldn't the wiki community do a better job of not simply regurgitating information? --208.61.250.70 (talk) 03:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He is a free agent but not officially retired, so it stays as is. And the page is updated daily, so the problem is resolved. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 03:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing players[edit]

It's not clear how this list is ordered, but there are a number of players omitted from the list that have higher percentages, more 3 pointers made, and more games played than some that are currently listed. Per ^[1], the following players should be on this list at least for their percentages:

Rank	Player	3s-made	3s-attempted	3-%	Yrs. Played	Gms. Played
1	H. Davis	728	1651	44.1%	16	685
2	T. Legler	260	603	43.1%	11	310
3	B.J. Armstrong	436	1026	42.5%	11	747
4	D. Green	1684	4028	41.8%	9	540
5	W. Person	1150	2754	41.8%	16	454
6	D. Barros	1090	2652	41.1%	14	850
7	W. Szczerbiak	590	1453	40.6%	14	651
8	B. Barry	1395	3442	40.5%	14	912
9	D. Curry	1245	3098	40.2%	16	1083

Who updates this entry to correct these glaring omissions?

The first paragraph of the page explains that this list is based on total number of career 3-pointers made...it does not have anything to do with 3-point percentage. Coulraphobic123 (talk) 01:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ties at 50th place?[edit]

We're hitting an era where the bottom of this list may end up in numerous ties. For example, Eric Gordon is only 3 3PM away from tying Jackson as of writing this post. If this happens, would it be correct to list 51 players on this list, with a tie shown at 50? Or would the note read "multiple tied at 1248"? There are 6 other active players within ~125 3PM of Jackson, so this may become relevant in other cases as the year progresses.

Yes, the list would just have both players as a tie at 50 until that tie is broken. Coulraphobic123 (talk) 00:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't Ray Allen and Reggie Miller on this list?[edit]

The article even cites an official source from nba.com that provides the correct stats with Allen and Miller being above Curry.

Steph Curry on top, 2021[edit]

Steph Curry now leading in points 61.68.245.26 (talk) 09:56, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done He is leading if both regular season and playoff threes are combined. This list is for regular season only, in which he is still 2nd behind Allen. ^{Engr. Smitty Werben} 10:21, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
