Stephen Curry is the undisputed leader in playoff three-pointers made, with 618 in 147 games played across eight postseason campaigns. Whatโ€™s more impressive about Curryโ€™s staggering number is that he played the fewest games among the other players on the list.

Klay Thompson, Curryโ€™s teammate and the other half of the โ€œSplash Brothers,โ€ sits second on the list with 501 playoff three-pointers in 158 games and eight postseason campaigns. The duo of Thompson and Curry was vital to Golden Stateโ€™s consistent chances in NBA championship odds. Additionally, these two pioneered the three-point revolution in the modern NBA.

โ€œThe Kingโ€ LeBron James has successfully adapted to the modern play of the league as heโ€™s racked up 456 three-pointers in 266 playoff games, where he appeared in 16 postseason runs. Following him on the list were Jame Harden and Ray Allen, who canned 400 and 385 shots from downtown in their 160 and 171 games, respectively.

Rounding out the top-10 list were combinations of active and retired players: Kevin Durant (361 three-pointers in 166 playoff games), Manu Ginobili (324 three-pointers in 218 playoff games), Reggie Miller (320 three-pointers in 144 playoff games), Danny Green (315 three-pointers in 169 playoff games), and J.R. Smith (294 three-pointers in 140 playoff games).
