Damian Lillard moves up to 4th spot in all-time three-point list
Damian Lillard moved up in the all-time list for threes made when he made four triples in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 122-123 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
With 2,564 career triples, Lillard has the fourth-most three-point made in NBA history. Dame moved out of a tie with Indiana’s Reggie Miller when he dropped a three-pointer at the 2:51 mark of the second quarter.
An elite company
There are only three players on the list who are ahead of Lillard. Golden State’s Stephen Curry (3,680) leads the list, followed by Ray Allen (2,973) and James Harden (2,910).
Lillard went 4-of-12 from three-point range in the loss to the Lakers. He finished with 28 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds in Milwaukee’s second-straight loss after racking up six successive wins after the All-Star break.
Dame had the chance to win the game for the Bucks but Spencer Dinwiddie blocked his step-back jumper as time ran out.
A certified shooter
For this season, Lillard is shooting 35 percent from three-point territory, as he has made 173 of his 494 attempts from that range. The most three-pointers that
Dame made this season happen on December 19th when he dropped seven trifectas in a 132-119 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Lillard actually made 11 three-pointers when he led the East All-Stars to a 211-186 win over the West All-Stars. The 12-year NBA veteran won the All-Star Game MVP honors which came after he ruled the three-point shootout for the second-straight year.
