Lillard is on pace for his ninth season with at least 200 made 3-pointers, keeping pace with Golden State’s Klay Thompson for the second-most such seasons (9) in league history behind Stephen Curry.
The top three spots on the list would be the most difficult to surpass. James Harden, still actively playing for the LA Clippers, is next at third with over 300 more made 3s between them. Ray Allen and Curry, the league’s all-time leader, top the list.

Lillard’s All-Star play has helped alter the identity of the 2021 NBA champion Bucks, who are also rediscovering their once-dominant defense under new head coach Doc Rivers. Milwaukee sits firmly in the East’s top three, jostling with Cleveland for second place with just over a month remaining in the regular season.
