Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry was in a league of his own heading into Sunday's slate of games, having been the only player in NBA history to ever convert 300 3-pointers in a season.
That's no longer the case, though, as Houston Rockets All-Star and reigning Most Valuable Player James Harden drilled his 300th trey of the year in a narrow 94-93 road win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Harden has also attempted 835 3-pointers across 62 appearances, which ranks as the second-most ever taken behind Curry's 886 from the 2015-16 campaign. The 41-25 Rockets still have 16 games remaining on their schedule for the 29-year-old to topple that number.
