Harden admits he won’t reach Steph’s record: ‘He can shoot the ball’ | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

When it comes to pursuing Curry, he’s already waving the white flag. He believes the record can stand the test of time because the two-time MVP can “shoot the ball out of the ball.”

To provide some context on the gap between Curry and Harden, 402 threes is the single-season record set by the former in 2015-2016. So it would take Harden two years in record time to get there, which also depends on Curry not contributing to his career total.

There was a time when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record seemed equally untouchable. No player could maintain the longevity needed to pass the legendary center.

Then LeBron James made it happen.

There is no doubt that Curry has significantly influenced modern NBA offenses, but we are only beginning to see the way he has shaped the way younger generations play the game. There may come a time when a serious challenger to the Warriors’ ranks emerges.
