US media lists the top 10 stars with the most key three-pointers in the playoffs, with 5 active players Curry is only second

Since the playoffs this year, we have seen many stars perform outstandingly at critical moments, such as Halliburton, the Pacers' star, who has performed two accurate finals this year's playoffs, one was the singles Antetokounmpo's layup, and the other was the Cavaliers Jerome taking a step back and three-pointer. When it comes to the three-point performance at critical moments, the US media listed the top 10 stars who scored the most key three-pointers in the playoffs, of which 5 active players were on the list, and Curry, who was the best, could only rank second!

10.Durant (17 shots, 26.2% shooting percentage)

The reason why Durant is called "Death" is because of his cold-blooded performance at critical moments, but it can be seen from this list that his three-point efficiency at critical moments is not outstanding. But it has to be said that Durant's three-pointers sometimes left a deep impression on people. For example, in the 2017 Finals G3, he scored a three-pointer that overtaked the score at the critical moment.

9. Fisher (17 shots, 38.6% shooting percentage)

As the only role player on this list, Fisher has not achieved any decent personal honors in his NBA career, but his big heart attributes are well known. It is because of this that he can win 5 championships in the NBA. Fisher's highest goal in the playoffs can be traced back to the Western Conference semi-finals in 2004. At that time, facing the Spurs, G5, and the Lakers were still behind, it was not O'Neal or Kobe who saved the team in the end. Instead, Fisher made a buzzer-beating final shot. Although this goal was not a three-pointer, it can be seen from this goal that his key goal is.

8.Nash (17 records, hit rate 38.6%)

As the former two-time MVP, although Nash has excellent ability to drive offensively, his attacks have been questioned a lot. However, it is obvious that at the critical moment, Nash's performance is still relatively reliable, especially his three-pointers are not only guaranteed to produce, but also their efficiency cannot be considered low. Unfortunately, even though Nash was the best player in the league at his peak, he still failed to win the championship in the end. Even though he later chose to join the Lakers, he still failed to get what he wanted.

7. Harden (18 shots, 26.5% shooting percentage)

When it comes to Harden's playoff performance, many fans will say that he is the easiest to cross in the MVP, but in fact his performance in the playoffs can only be considered unstable. Even in a round of series, he can both perform super gods and miserable personal performance. For example, in the 2018 Western Conference Finals, Harden also played 40+ in a single game, but at the same time, he also scored only 18 points in 22 shots. Harden was the same at critical moments. He was more unstable. Facing the Celtics in the second round of the 2023 playoffs, Harden just scored 45 points and hit a three-pointer with a veritable finale. Then he made 2 of 14 shots and 0 of 6 of 3-pointers in the second game. Therefore, this can explain why Harden's three-pointer hits at critical moments are not low but his shooting percentage is less than 30%.

6.Leonard (18 shots, 39.1% shooting)

Since his rookie, Leonard has shown his mentality of not being afraid to take action at critical moments. In those two years, he made many key shots against the Heat in the Finals. In the 2014 Finals, he averaged 2.2 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 57.9%, and eventually he successfully won the FMVP. Later, Leonard played better and better, and his performance at critical moments was always trustworthy. In 2019, he became the first player in NBA history to hit the buzzer-beating goal in the tiebreak. Later, when he joined the Clippers, Leonard was still one of the best players in the league. Unfortunately, his injuries completely destroyed him, so he has played in many playoffs in the years.

5.Pearce (19 records, hit rate 39.6%)

Although Pierce is not a MVP-level superstar, with his performance at critical moments, his ability to attack can be repeatedly compared with Kobe and other super giants of the same period. Pierce not only made a lot of key three-pointers in the playoffs, but also had two buzzer-beating wins, one was the G3 against the Heat in the first round in 2010, and the other was the G3 against the Hawks in the first round in 2015. In addition, Pierce also helped the team successfully advance in these two rounds of the series.

4. Ray Allen (21 shots, 28.4% shooting percentage)

As one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, it is obviously not surprising that Ray Allen is on the list. On the contrary, his shooting percentage is only 28.4% more shocking. After all, if he is impressed, he is still very accurate at critical moments. Especially the 2013 Finals G6's 2013 Finals made people admire Ray Allen's big heart at a critical moment. If Ray Allen did not make that goal, the Heat would most likely be eliminated. Therefore, their team faces the risk of reorganization in the offseason, so his goal has also changed the fate of many players

3. Reggie Miller (21 shots, 32.8% shooting percentage)

Miller, who is also a top scorer, I also made many key three-pointers in my playoff career, and the most impressive one was the G4 facing the Bulls in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals. At the end of that game, the Pacers were still one point behind. Then Miller made a final three-pointer against Jordan's defense. Unfortunately, the Pacers still failed to stop the Bulls until the end of the series. Miller scored 4 three-pointers in the tiebreak, and the team limited Jordan's shooting percentage to 36%. They still lost the game..

2. Curry (35 points, shooting percentage 36.8%)

Although the outside world has always complained about Curry's performance at critical moments before, from the data, he is obviously one of the stars who can play key balls the most in NBA history, especially his three-pointer, which is still very unsolvable at critical moments. Even at this stage of his career, Curry's shooting threat is still the only one in the league. When he chooses to shoot from the outside, no matter how difficult the shot seems, he can always hit it again and again.

1. James (37 shots, 33.3% shooting)

Although he has always said that James has poor shooting, in fact, he has performed well in three-pointers at all stages of his career, so he can only be said to be unstable. When he was in the Cavaliers 1.0 period, James had a famous scene of winning three-pointers in the playoffs, and later he became more and more accurate. At his peak, he had a season of more than 40% three-point shooting percentage. In the 2018 playoffs, he also performed another highlight of winning against his opponent with three-pointers.
