Method

  • The data has 3-pointers made for every game since 1979-80, so 1,529 careers from before then aren't here.
  • 28 careers aren't here because a game in their window has no line recorded.
  • An active player who got to 2,000 3-pointers made before this season is on the all-time board with his rank.
