Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden has acknowledged the significant challenge he faces in his pursuit of the NBA's all-time three-point record. Following a commendable performance in which he moved to the No. 2 spot on the career three-pointers list, surpassing Ray Allen during a 116-105 victory over the Utah Jazz, Harden expressed his thoughts on the achievement.

Despite this milestone, Harden recognizes that he needs to make an extraordinary 807 long-range shots to eclipse the current record held by Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. After the game, he proudly reflected on his journey, crediting former teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook for setting a valuable foundation during their time together in Oklahoma City, which contributed to his personal growth as a player.

In discussing the challenges of overtaking Curry, Harden humbly admitted, 'I'm one of the most confident guys that we have in this league. But no. I probably won't catch Steph. I don't think anybody will… He can shoot the sh*t outta the ball.' This perspective illustrates the remarkable gap between the two players, as Curry holds the single-season record of 402 made three-pointers, established during the 2015-16 season. To surpass Curry, Harden would require not only an unprecedented pace over multiple seasons but also hope that Curry does not extend his own record.
