Who Has the Most 3-Pointers in One Season?
Stephen Curry has the most 3-pointers in one season with 402 makes during the 2015-16 season.
The Chef’s shooting from a distance almost certainly rewarded fans who picked the over on that parlay bet prop nearly every night that season.
His over/under of 3-point makes on NBA parlays likely had to be raised to astronomical numbers just to make things fair, but that still might not have been enough.
Curry earned his second MVP that season, helping the Golden State Warriors put together the best NBA record in history at 73-9. He became the first and only unanimous MVP in league history.
The 10-time All-Star is one of three players to make more than 300 triples in a season and is the only player to have done it multiple times. He owns five of the six highest totals for 3-point makes in a season.
The Baby-Faced Assassin first set the record for the most treys in a season in 2012-13, hitting 272 from deep.
He followed up with a new record of 286 during the 2014-15 season before completely shattering that mark the following season.
