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

Stephen Curry isn't the only current member of the Golden State Warriors to be regarded as an all-time great three-point shooter. On Sunday, one of Curry's teammates joined him on the NBA's career list.

Buddy Hield moved into 15th as far as the most career three-pointers made. After connecting on 3-of-6 from three during the Warriors' 124-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Hield has 2,144 in his career.

Now 14 spots behind Curry, who owns a significant lead as the league's record holder, Hield passed Celtics legend Paul Pierce and sits behind current 76er Kyle Lowry for 14th and then Rockets superstar Kevin Durant with the 13th most ever.

Buddy Hield stands out on a list of legends

Unlike the aforementioned names above, Hield's placement may come as a surprise to some. However, Hield has made a career out of being a long-range marksman.

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.
