Harden led the NBA in 3-pointers made and attempted in each season from 2017-18 (his MVP campaign) to 2019-20, his last full season in Houston. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, who was on the Boston Celtics’ coaching staff during Allen’s last three years with the team from 2009 to 2012, explained how Harden’s style is different than Allen’s.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- James Harden now stands alone at No. 2 in 3-pointers. The Los Angeles Clippers guard connected on the 2,974th 3-pointer of his career Sunday night and broke a tie with Basketball Hall of Famer Ray Allen for the No. 2 spot on the NBA’s list.

The Clippers had Harden celebrating the three-point party to put him second on the NBA all time list of scorers from beyond the perimeter line.
