Harden's historic night

James Harden made history on Tuesday night, passing Ray Allen for second place on the NBA's all-time 3-pointers made list. Harden hit his 2,974th career 3-pointer in the first quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Brooklyn Nets, moving him past Allen's mark of 2,973. Harden finished the game with 23 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, leading the 76ers to a 129-100 victory.

Harden's climb up the ranks

Harden has been one of the most prolific 3-point shooters in NBA history, ranking first in the league in 3-pointers made in each of the past three seasons. He is also one of the most efficient 3-point shooters, ranking in the top 10 in 3-point percentage in each of the past four seasons. Harden's ability to shoot from deep has made him one of the most dangerous offensive players in the league.

Harden is now just 46 3-pointers behind Stephen Curry for the all-time record. Curry has made 3,020 3-pointers in his career, and he is still going strong. It is possible that Harden could catch Curry for the record this season, or early next season. Harden is averaging 3.7 3-pointers per game this season, and he has shown no signs of slowing down.
