James Harden entered Sunday’s Clippers-Jazz game needing a single 3-pointer to move into second-place all time for most made 3-pointers.

He reached the mark in the first quarter.

With a pull-up 3-pointer from the right wing, Harden reached a career tally of 2,974 3-pointers, moving him out of a second-place tie with Hall of Famer Ray Allen.

It’s a position he projects to maintain until he retires.

Harden is a long way behind all-time 3-point shooting champion Stephen Curry, who started Sunday with 3,782 made career 3-pointers, more than 800 more than Harden. The Warriors great is hitting 3.9 3-pointers per game this season and will surely add significantly to his record tally before he calls it a career.
