Dame passes Kidd for 10th on NBA's all-time 3-pointers list
Damian Lillard joined some exclusive company in the Portland Trail Blazers' 106-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
The six-time All-Star passed Jason Kidd for 10th on the NBA's all-time leaderboard for 3-pointers made with his first triple of Wednesday's contest.
Lillard leapfrogged LeBron James, Joe Johnson, and Dirk Nowitzki to climb to No. 11 earlier in April and ranks third among active players behind Stephen Curry and James Harden.
| Rank | Player | 3PM |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ray Allen | 2973 |
| 2 | Stephen Curry | 2757 |
| 3 | Reggie Miller | 2560 |
| 4 | Kyle Korver | 2450 |
| 5 | James Harden | 2441 |
| 6 | Vince Carter | 2290 |
| 7 | Jason Terry | 2282 |
| 8 | Jamal Crawford | 2221 |
| 9 | Paul Pierce | 2143 |
| 10 | Damian Lillard | 1990 |
Lillard accomplished the feat in his 668th regular-season appearance - fewer than half the games Kidd required.
If someone had to knock me out of the top 10 for made 3s, glad it was my guy from Oaktown @Dame_Lillard. Congrats Dame and I know you will be at the top of the list when you are done. https://t.co/1tEq5Bg5uX

Lillard is a career 37.3% shooter from downtown and has finished in the NBA's top 10 in 3-point field goals made on eight occasions. The Blazers star's 214 triples this season rank third in the Association.
Lillard, 30, finished Wednesday's contest with a team-high 22 points but shot only 2-of-10 from deep.
