Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s three-point record is believed to be<\/a> unreachable, but Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards believes there’s at least<\/a> one person who can catch Curry.<\/p>\n

Curry broke the three-point record on December 14, 2021, in a game against the New York Knicks. He passed Ray Allen’s mark of 2,973 three-pointers in a career. But that record surely seems like ages ago, as he surpassed 4,000 career three-pointers in March 2025 and currently sits at 4,233 in March 2026. James Harden now sits at number 2 on the list with 3,336 three-pointers made.<\/p>\n

In a feature written by<\/a> Danny Emerman of the San Francisco Standard, Anthony Edwards spoke about who he believes could surpass Steph Curry for most three-pointers in a career. Of course, Edwards gave the obvious answer, saying, \u201cI think I\u2019m going to catch him.\u201d<\/p>\n

But after taking himself out of the equation, he identified an interesting name: Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe might catch him,\u201d Edwards told Emerman. \u201cThe white boy from Charlotte, right? He\u2019s good. \u2026 Either me or Kon Knueppel. I\u2019m a big fan of Kon Knueppel. He can really shoot the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case for both Knueppel and Edwards is not as far-fetched as it might seem. Knueppel currently leads\u00a0the league in three-pointers made, drilling 222 as of this writing. Anthony Edwards sits at number 9 in the top 10 for three-pointers made this season, with nearly 185. Both Edwards and Knueppel are ahead of Curry, who’s made 175 but has only played in 39 games due to lingering injuries.<\/p>\n

Knueppel’s NBA reputation in his first season is as a smooth shooter that seems nearly automatic from behind the arc. But Edwards wasn’t always a high-volume three-point shooter. In the 2020-2021 season, he shot 32.9% from three. While he could knock those shots down, it wasn’t his strongest attribute. But since his rookie season, he has developed into one of the best three-point shooters in the league, leaping to 39% from range in the 2024-2025 season and attempting 10.3 per game\u2014which was 3.6 more attempts than the 2023-2024 season.<\/p>\n

While it certainly will take a long time to catch Steph Curry, and Curry certainly has more seasons left to attempt to push the three-point record out of reach, it’s certain that Knueppel and Edwards have a shot at the crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s three-point record is believed to be unreachable, but Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3782],"tags":[375,7,968,307,152,3954,6,573,308],"class_list":{"0":"post-645634","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-timberwolves","8":"tag-anthony-edwards","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-kon-knueppel","11":"tag-minnesota","12":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","13":"tag-minnesotatimberwolves","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-stephen-curry","16":"tag-timberwolves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116188985940884166","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
