In just eight games, Harden will reach a record and finish second only to Curry in all-time rankings

The new NBA season has begun, and for some of the league's veteran superstars, the new season will not only help their teams compete for championships, but also have some special personal significance, that is, they will complete some personal records, which are also their recognition of their great careers. It will also be engraved on the history wall.

For example, today Harden completed his career 26,000 points, and his current all-time total is 26,004 points. Ranked 20th all-time. For Harden, he is expected to continue to improve his all-time scoring total this season. Because some of the players who came before him have retired. And Harden's all-time scoring total is not much compared to theirs, only a few hundred points. Based on Harden's current average of 24 points per game. At the end of the season, his season total could come to 1,900 points. He may even end the season with the all-time scoring rankings behind Anthony in 11th place.

Of course, for Harden, he is expected to have another career record in the near future, and this record is also important for him. That's the all-time three-point list, and Harden is currently in third place all-time. He only needed to hit 21 more three-pointers to surpass Ray Allen and move into second place all-time, behind only Stephen Curry. Based on Harden's current average of 2.6 three-pointers per game, he only needs eight games to surpass Ray Allen.

Perhaps many fans only care about Harden's scoring ability and ignore his excellent three-point ability. When we talk about excellent three-point shooters, we may think of Ray Miller, we may think of Korver, we may think of Ray Allen, but in recent years, Harden has been constantly surpassing these predecessors, Reggie Miller has been left behind by him, and Korver has been surpassed by him early. And the next step he will surpass is Ray Allen, a pitcher of this all-time level. So now we can also attribute Harden to an all-time pitcher, even though he's more than just a pitcher.

Of course, it's impossible for Harden to overtake Curry. Curry has now made a staggering 3,758 three-pointers. For Curry this season, his goal is to make more than 4,000 three-pointers. If it is normal, there is no problem with this record. Both Harden and Curry have had storied careers, and they have also played some great games for fans as opponents. Those memories will always remain in the minds of the fans. And after they retire, they may never forget the moving scenes of the fierce battle for hegemony back then.
