Stephen Curry is rightly considered the face of a revolution that has been carried out in the NBA for several seasons. He changed the game. But James Harden too, and even more so when he was playing for the Houston Rockets. He then embodied the “analytical” side of a league focused on fast basketball, advanced stats and obviously three-point shooting. Moreover, like Steph, the bearded man breaks records by far. But the one he got last night is less flattering. He officially became the player who missed the most outside shots in NBA history.
James Harden now has the most three-point misses in NBA history.

Well, that doesn’t mean that James Harden is a bad shooter. It’s just that he tries a lot. And given the evolution of the league, this record should be broken by another player shortly. On the other hand, what is crazy is that Curry is not even in the top-3 yet (he is fourth) while he is first in the number of baskets scored behind the arc.
