Harden gets to second place on NBA all-time 3-pointers list - ESPN

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — James Harden passed Ray Allen for second on the NBA's all-time 3-pointers list Sunday night against the Utah Jazz.

Harden made two 3-pointers and finished with 20 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds to help the LA Clippers to a 116-105 victory at Intuit Dome.

«Unbelievable accomplishment,» Harden said of the 3-pointer he hit with 6:09 left in the first quarter to move into second in league history. «Just a testament to the amount of work that I've been putting in. As I get older and just chip away at an unbelievable career, [I] start to accomplish things like that. So I don't ever want to take it for granted.

»I just want to give motivation to the youth and every other person that's chasing a dream to play professional basketball or whatever it is. So it's an honor."

As for anyone dreaming of catching all-time leader Stephen Curry, Harden says no one will ever break Curry's record. Harden now has 2,975 career 3-pointers to move past Allen's 2,973. Curry, whose Warriors face Harden and the Clippers on Monday, currently has 3,782 3-pointers in his career.

«I'm one of the most confident guys that we have in this league,» Harden said. «But no, I probably won't catch Steph. And I don't think anybody will honestly.… I don't know man… he can shoot the s--- out the ball. And granted a lot of these guys are on that list for [being] catch-and-shoot players, so they came off pindowns, they were spot shots or whatnot. Now, where the game has evolved, guys like Steph are coming off pindowns, he's creating off isos, he's coming off pick-and-rolls. So there's so many different variables to be able to shoot the 3, make shots and do it at an efficient high level.
