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

Klay Thompson, Curry’s teammate and the other half of the “Splash Brothers,” 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 State’s consistent chances in NBA championship odds. Additionally, these two pioneered the three-point revolution in the modern NBA.
