Three-pointers are one of the biggest points of attraction when it comes to the NBA. Fans eagerly wait to see their favorite stars nailing it from outside the circle. However, in most cases, a couple of three-peat shots are enough to get the crowd excited. But putting in 5 or more three-pointers in a game? Well, that is when we are talking about the elites. And a look at the top players with most 5+ 3-pointers surely determines who the king of three-peat shots is.
Well, ruling at the top, is Stephen Curry. This comes as no surprise. It is well known that Curry has been a prolific three-peat shooter. His impact is such that Curry has often been criticized for his excessive three-peat shooting tendencies. Thus, it is no wonder that the Warriors’ star is at number one with 384 5+ three-pointer games.

Next up, it is James Harden at number two with 203 games. The sheer difference between the games with Curry and James Harden speaks volumes about Curry’s incredible talent. However, this is not the case with the numbers 3 and 4. Damian Lillard and Klay Thompson complete the list with 187 and 186 games respectively. Meanwhile, despite the impressive numbers, Rob Parker thinks otherwise.
Rob Parker Dismisses Stephen Curry As The Greatest Shooter
Rob Parker seems quite doubtful about whether Stephen Curry is the best shooter of all time. In a recent statement, Parker pointed out some significant incidents where Curry failed to convert three-peat shots.
“He’s just not the greatest shooter of all-time. That’s where we’re going to put this… When you call someone the greatest shooter, it means under any circumstance, you would want them to have the ball when you need a basket… He has had 14 looks with a chance to tie and win the game in the postseason. And he hasn’t made one of them,” said Parker.
