Allen Iverson is arguably the\u00a0 most iconic player in Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> franchise history.<\/p>\n

Current Sixers star Tyrese Maxey is building a legacy of his own in Philadelphia, and he’s on the cusp of passing Iverson for a major Sixers franchise record.<\/p>\n

Tyrese Maxey close to passing Allen Iverson for most made 3-pointers in 76ers history<\/p>\n

Maxey currently sits just five made 3-pointers shy of tying Iverson for the most made triples<\/a> in Sixers franchise history. With six made 3s, Maxey will pass Iverson and take over the top spot. Iverson connected on 885 3-pointers in a Sixers jersey.<\/p>\n

Maxey is connecting on 3.3 shots from long range per game this season, so based on that he should break the record in the next game or two for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Sixers will play the Pacers<\/a> in Indiana on Tuesday night and then they’ll host the Miami Heat<\/a> on Thursday night. Maxey will very likely surpass Iverson during one of those games.<\/p>\n

The speed with which Maxey reached the mark is impressive. Iverson played 722 regular season games in a Sixers uniform. Meanwhile, Maxey has played just 373. In other words, Iverson needed nearly twice as many games as Maxey to reach 880-plus career triples.<\/p>\n

In fairness to Iverson, long-range shooting wasn’t exactly his specialty, and there is much more of an emphasis on it in today’s game than there was when The Answer was suiting up. Iverson averaged 3.7 long range attempts per game over the course of his career, while Maxey is averaging 6.2.<\/p>\n

Maxey isn’t the only current Sixers player poised to move up Philadelphia’s all-time made 3-pointers list, either. Joel Embiid needs just five made triples to pass Tobias Harris (575) for fifth-most in franchise history.<\/p>\n
