Warriors' Buddy Hield joins Steph Curry on all-time NBA list

Amid his ninth NBA season and second with the Warriors, Hield entered the day carrying a career three-point percentage of 39.6. For context, 40% is considered a benchmark for an elite shooter, and Curry is at 42.3%. Hield's historic night came alongside Curry's worst For an ironic twist, Hield's history night came during the lowest scoring output of the season. Curry, who has been on a historic tear of his own in the first two months of the 2025-26 season, only managed to register nine points, connecting on just one single three and a pair of field goals in 28 minutes. Aside from his success from beyond the arc, Hield has been mostly a role player throughout his professional career. The former first-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft has averaged 14.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 729 NBA games. Before Sunday, Hield was averaging just 6.6 points per game so far this season. Never an All-Star, lifelong journeyman and always a role player, Hield has made a name for himself among many of the best players in history.
